This upper-floor flat is perfect for a couple’s getaway or a small family. Set above a historic shop and smokehouse in the quaint harbour area of Seahouses, all of the town’s amenities are on your doorstep. Visitors can stroll along the waterfront and enjoy the bustle of the working harbour. Along the town’s charming streets there are interesting shops to browse and a great range of cafes, friendly local pubs and restaurants. For a day trip, guests might like to take a wildlife watching boat trip to the Farne Islands to see its seal colonies and puffins. Just 3.5 miles along the coast is the town of Bamburgh with its dramatic and imposing castle facing out to sea. The whole area is great for walking with the beautiful Northumberland Heritage Coast stretching out in both directions and some fantastic beaches.
The apartment is bright and spacious and set on the upper floor above a shop and traditional smokehouse. It was originally the living quarters of the ‘herring lasses’ who from the mid-1800s onwards worked downstairs in the smokery. Today, it has been transformed into a stylish apartment with wood-panelled walls in the living area and a nautical theme throughout. The apartment is accessed via a flight of stairs and a doorway into a hallway with useful storage space. From there guests enter a lovely, open-plan living and dining room with dual-aspect windows offering sea views and comfortable seating. The galley kitchen is off to one side and is equipped with all you need for preparing your holiday feasts. The cosy bedrooms are a double and a single room, both with high Velux windows letting in the light. The modern bathroom has a walk-in shower and a heated towel rail.
While there is no outside space at this property, the beautiful coastal resort of Seahouses offers charming places to dine out and a wonderful, sandy beach so there’s plenty of opportunity to get out and about.
