Overview
Property code: OC-GD1735

An inviting coastal house wonderfully located only a short stroll from the town centre of Seahouses and with great access to the rugged coastline of Northumberland. This retreat is ideal for couples seeking a tranquil beachside hideaway. Step out and explore the quaint village of Seahouses, less than 100 metres from your doorstep, where you can stroll by a selection of local gift shops, refuel with some hearty fish and chips, or visit the iconic fish smokehouse. Amble or cycle along the coastal trail towards Beadnell, 2 miles, and saunter along the sandy shoreline to revel at the impressive beachfront castle of Bamburgh, 3.7 miles.

This is a sleek, semi-detached property boasting a contemporary interior, bright social areas, and spacious rooms. The ground floor opens into a light-flooded kitchen, the perfect space for preparing some locally sourced treats and dining around the table. Grab a bottle and unwind in the lounge with a large leather sofa and a cosy wood burner effect stove. The first floor encompasses a peaceful king-size room with ample storage, a seating area, and a modern bathroom.

Relax in the sunny garden with a patio area and outdoor furniture.

Kingfisher Cottage is a home from home and has everything you need including off road parking. The welcome pack of necessities was a very nice touch. Lovely size bedroom and a great shower in the bathroom. We were staying in December/January so had some very cold days, the house always felt warm with the heating on. The cottage is only a 5 min Read morewalk to the main centre where you can find a Co-op and some lovely independent food and gift shops, 3 pubs and enough restaurants if you dont fancy cooking Would recommend walking on the beach to Bamburgh which takes about 1hr 20mins, visit the Grace Darling Museum while there, its an amazing story, this is based inside the RNLI shop in Bamburgh Village Beadnell is about an hours walk on the beach from Seahouses. The Northumberland coast line is amazing with some lovely places to see, Holy island is must. We also went on a boat trip to see the Farne Islands, you can do book this at Seahouses harbour, great trip of about 1hr 30mins and very informative. Would definitely recommend this cottage and would look and booking again in the future. Hide

Our second Christmas visit and this was as lovely as the first. The house was clean, comfortable and warm, the addition of the Christmas tree made it extra special. Thanks so much for the extras of the wine and chocolates that was a nice gesture. The house is ideally located for getting out by car and about and also for good coastal walks. We Read morewere extremely lucky with the weather for the time of year which made it all the better. Good parking on the drive. although situated within 200 yards or so of the start of the High Street it was so quiet, we could have been in the middle of nowhere! Excellent Indian restaurant - The Spice House, and the fish and chip shop Lewis's. Thanks for our wonderful stay. Hide
