Overview
Property code: OC-GD1359

This enchanting cottage provides the perfect retreat for couples looking to enjoy the stunning Northumberland coast. The property is located just a mile from the fishing village of Seahouses. Relax in one of the traditional pubs or seaside cafes, or enjoy first-rate fish and chips on the sandy beach. Head to the picturesque harbour and climb aboard one of the many boats available and take a trip around the Farne Islands with the chance to spot dolphins, seals and puffins. The imposing Bamburgh Castle is bound to be a hit with all the family and is just 3 miles away. The village and castle can be accessed by car or by taking a lovely walk along the coastline. For an unforgettable day out, take the 18-mile drive then cross the causeway (when it’s safe to do so!) to Holy Island. This tidal island is steeped in history with an ancient priory and castle as well as an abundance of shops and cafes to enjoy.

This romantic seaside getaway has been thoughtfully furnished to maintain a charming cottage atmosphere throughout. The property’s lounge/diner with its exposed beams, comfortable sofas and open fire offers guests the perfect place to relax at any time of year. The kitchen has everything you need to rustle up a meal for two which can be enjoyed at the dining table. Finally, a contemporary bathroom completes the ground floor. Take the stairs to the first floor and into the king-size bedroom. This is a charming room with a sloping ceiling and exposed beams, providing a relaxing space to retreat to after a busy day.

While there is no outdoor space at this property, the beach is only a 1-mile stroll away with the wider Northumberland Coast AONB on your doorstep.

The situation of the cottage is very peaceful although it is on Main Street. The bed is beautifully comfortable and the bedroom enormous. The open fire was excellent on the few nights we needed it.

Cottage very well equipped with everything you would need, power shower excellent, bed very comfy we slept very well, just be aware of the low beams in the bedroom, parking excellent behind the cottage, only a short walk into Seahouses.

Disappointed. Headroom on the stairs and in the bedroom is quite significant. At 5ft 5 inches I was impacted and my husband was unable to stand upright at all . Beware the heating system in anything other than fine weather. House was cold and unwelcoming when we arrived and again the next morning. You either require to set a fire in the grate or haRead moreve a supply of 2 coins. Smart meter in the kitchen continually tells you how much electricity you are using which was also unwelcoming. On a positive note the property was quiet, walkable to the harbour although officially in North Sunderland and not Seahouses as expected and has easy parking. Hide

This apartment was totally unsuitable for habitation. There was a damp smell, which hit you on entering the cottage. The upstairs bedroom was like a greenhouse as the sun had been out all day. The headroom in the bedroom was very restricted in places, especially when moving around the bed. We did not stay overnight in the cottage as I was worried aRead morebout the damp. My wife had Sepsis in November 2022 and we could not take the chance of any spores being present in the cottage as she is now vulnerable to infection. We spent the first two nights in an apartment at the Olde Ship Inn and then secured 4 nights in a holiday house in South Street. This obviously involved significant additional expense on our part, not to mention the stress we experienced in trying to find alternative accommodation. Having just buried my Mother the Thursday before travelling to Seahouses, this holiday came just at the right time to relax and unwind, little did we know what awaited us. We are now in Keswick for a week and on our return home I will be in touch to take this matter further. Maurice Patterson Hide
