  • Charming cottage on the harbourside, overlooking the Northumberland coastline
  • Located in the heart of the old town close to shops and restaurants
  • Uninterrupted views across the bay towards the Farne Islands
Property code: CN097

Located in the old town overlooking the pretty fishing harbour at Seahouses, this charming cottage is the ideal place for families to explore the Northumberland coastline. Beadnell Bay is a short walk away and provides a range of watersports and a largely deserted beach perfect for a picnic. The village of Bamburgh is also nearby and can be reached on foot, where you’ll find the famous Bamburgh castle which provides a stunning backdrop to the rugged coastline. Bamburgh is also home to the Grace Darling museum which is a must-see attraction and provides information about the life of the 17-century heroine.

There are two entrances to the property, but the main entrance via the top door leads you into an impressive, large open-plan lounge and well-equipped kitchen/diner area. The lounge is furnished in a contemporary style with a large comfy sofa, and a separate armchair. The kitchen is well-equipped with electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer and microwave. In the corner of the lounge, there is a large dining table with seating for six situated next to a feature window which opens onto a large balcony and offers stunning views across the harbour towards the Farne Islands. A small spiral staircase (N. B. can be steep for some) leads from the lounge to the master bedroom which is furnished with large king-size bed. This room also has a separate en-suite shower room which is equipped with an electric shower, WC and basin. Heading downstairs, you can find two twin bedrooms and bathroom. The downstairs bedrooms are tastefully furnished in a contemporary cottage style with twin beds. The bathroom contains a bath with shower over bath and WC.

Outside there is parking for two cars with one space located directly outside the cottage at the top entrance while the other is at the bottom entrance on the large path within the yellow lines. There is also a large furnished balcony, located just off the lounge on the first floor. This has room for a table and chairs and offers stunning views of the harbour and is the perfect place to sit with a cup of tea to watch the sink beneath the waves. The garage offers guests additional storage and is complete with a washing machine and second fridge freezer.

Great location and lovely views. Lots of stairs and spiral staircase is very narrow and steep. Cream carpets so can be a challenge with a four legged friend. Parking at back of property can be blocked. Only 1 set of keys provided

The biggest plus was the view...amazing!! The cottage itself was comfortable but decor tired and neglected. Issues with hob and TV which took an age to sort out. Owner not available when I rang. Overall clean but bathroom grubby, black grout and base of taps dirty. Also greasy,dirty oven trays and grill pan. Bedding and towels clean. Stairs extremeRead morely steep. Hide

Harbour View provided us with the comfort we needed to rest as a whole family . The view over the harbour was beautiful. We would love to book again . This home really is well presented with its coastal touches throughout. The town is 2mins walk and pubs are great too . You will not be bored. My kids want to rebook and cried when we had leave .

Really good comfortable accommodation in Seahouses with good views of the harbour and the Farne Islands. Gests however need to take into account the stairs in the property.

Lovely stay at Harbour View Cottage. Wonderful views of the harbour and beyond. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you will need on holiday. The complementary wine on arrival was a nice touch. Fantastic location right in the centre but also very quiet, that could be because of the time of year we visited.

Absolutely fab. We had a lovely week and being January, the large windows afforded a fantastic view of the harbour and islands when the weather prevented an outing. Very comfortable all round; will definitely be back next year.

Absolutely stunning view and well placed to enjoy beach and town, but the accommodation was a little tired in places. More checks needed regarding cleaning and replacing light bulbs and burned out frying pans. The twin beds were more comfortable than some we've encountered and the rooms are pleasantly decorated.

Lovely, comfortable apartment in a great location, with a phenomenal view out onto Seahouses harbour and the Farne Islands. As others have mentioned, the narrow spiral staircase would be tricky for anyone with mobility difficulties, but we did fine (and managed to get a fairly chunky suitcase up and down it). Very clean, and well appointed. A reallRead morey great base to explore the coastal walks from, and a really great apartment to relax in after a long walk in the cold north sea breeze! Hide
