Description

This attractive cottage is perfect for a family or small group of friends to enjoy a seaside break in Northumberland. Set within a few hundred metres of Seahouses’ pretty working harbour, all of the town’s amenities are close by. The welcoming high street and surrounding roads offer a great range of independent shops to browse, along with coffee shops and friendly local pubs. There is also a good choice of restaurants, many serving locally caught fresh seafood or smoked fish from the town’s traditional smokehouse. Visitors can visit the harbour and watch the fishing fleet come in or hop aboard a sightseeing boat trip to the wildlife-rich Farne Islands. The Northumberland Heritage Coast offers some fantastic coastal walks, including a trail to Bamburgh with its impressive castle 3.5 miles away.

The cottage is laid out all on one level with a beautiful open-plan living area. This has high vaulted ceilings with exposed wooden beams and skylights. It’s a relaxing place to spend time with cushy recliner seating gathered around the wood burner and TV. The kitchen is well equipped and there’s a charming dining table off to one side.

Reviews

Lovely cottage with everything you needed and more, the location was perfect with just very short walk to the local pubs/restaurant/shops. Some reviews have mentioned that the parking wasn't great but we didn't have any issues at all with the parking. We will definitely be returning to this property next time we visit Seahouses!

Miss K,

Absolutely lovely cottage in a very good position for the shops, harbour and beach.

Mrs A,

The property is lovely but we would have to warn people about the parking problems.

Mrs J,

Perfect cottage in a perfect location. Very close to the harbour and a short walk to the shops. The cottage was very clean and we had a lovely welcome gift of milk, tea, coffee and wine. The owners have thought of everything to make it a home from home. I would definitely go back.

Mrs M,

Beautiful cottage in an ideal location for the harbour,shops, pubs and restaurants and for walking to numerous different places. Parking was a bit tight but nothing can be done about that, as the name suggests, it's down a ginnel.

Mr B,

It felt like home the minute you walked in.

Mrs L,

Very pleased with cottage ideal for my wife and I it’s a pity outside space was open to all the cottages I thought out back was enclosed but it wasn’t but saying that all shops etc were within a few minutes walk and I would recommend to friends and family

Mr B,

The cottage was ideally situated for Seahouses Harbour and the cottage is well described and therefore a very comfortable place to stay. The little extras that are left (Tea/Coffee/milk/wine etc) are lovely touch and very welcome. Equipment and utensils are in good condition and therefore caters for all your needs. Many thanks for a great break, the Northumberland coast is great to explore and we will definitely be back.

Mr G,

Lovely cottage in an ideal location. Everything you need and will definitely stay there again

Mr F,

Lovely cottage, everything you need is included. A short walk to the harbour and the shops, pubs & restaurants. Highly recommend. Only down side is there's nowhere to sit out properly in the sunshine.

Mr B,

Lovely cosy cottage. Very well furnished and equipped. Very comfy bed and lovely shower. Nice seating in the little yard. Really enjoyed our stay.

Mrs M,

Is a really lovely property, ideal location, clean. Would recommend it to everyone.

Mrs M,

Our third time staying here and still brilliant, ideal location and very comfortable. Everything you would need to make you feel at home

Mr S,

A very enjoyable and comfortable stay at Ginnell Cottage with everything we needed supplied plus quite a few extras, such as a welcome bottle of wine, biscuits, and more. We appreciated the location, so close to the harbour and coastal walks. We took our two small dogs and it all worked well with them, the only thing I would point out is that the immediate outside space is not enclosed, which dog owners might like to be aware of.

Mrs H,

The cottage is in an ideal position, close to the beach and the town. There are plenty of restaurants and pubs within walking distance so everything you need is right on your doorstep.

Mrs C,

A lovely, cozy clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage in a fantastic location.

Mr L,

Would recommend

Mrs B,

Lovely, comfortable cottage located very close to the harbour in Seahouses but the cottage itself is set along a small lane with housing between you & the sea so there is no view.

Mr A,

Lovely cottage very central to all amenities, highly recommend.

Mr L,

Perfect location, in the vicinity of all beaches for dog walks. Cottage was lovely as described, cozy had everything we needed. Really enjoyed our stay- thankyou original cottages.

Miss H,

Lovely cottage perfect location, very comfortable & dog friendly. The owner has thought & provided everything you need. Lovely welcome gift. Log burner an added bonus. Will definitely recommend & stay again. Had a lovely weekend.

Miss H,
