Kittiwake Cottage, Seahouses, Northumberland is one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. Kittiwake is cosy, even without the lovely log burner! The double bed is super comfy and better than our king size at home! The Smart TV is a good size. The little touches throughout create a true seaside feel that is relaxed, cosy, welcoming & unclutteRead morered. A peaceful, perfect week, in a lovely "home away from home", away from it all! Our new favourite! Hide
