Set on a quiet residential estate just a few minutes from the shops and harbour, this charming cottage offers a cosy and comfortable base for visitors to the Northumberland coast. Located in the bustling fishing village of Seahouses, renowned for its excellent fish and chips and boat trips to the Farne Islands, this holiday home has a wealth of historical sights, coastal walks and superb wildlife on its doorstep. Providing flexible accommodation for up to four guests, it’s ideal for a couples’ escape, a holiday with friends or a family break at the seaside.

Laid out over two storeys, this welcoming property blends comfortable furnishings with nautical decor for a homely stay. Relax after fun-packed days in the inviting lounge, and rustle up family favourites in the well-equipped kitchen, before gathering around the dining table to share good food and conversation. Upstairs, two tastefully presented bedrooms ensure a restful night’s sleep; choose between a double and a king-size zip-and-link room which can be arranged to accommodate your group. A modern family bathroom completes the first floor, while outside an enclosed garden is a delightful spot for your morning cuppa.

Wildlife lovers can hop on a boat trip from Seahouses Harbour to see nesting seabirds and seals on the Farne Islands, while the village itself offers a choice of cafes and eateries. The Northumberland Coast Path stretches in both directions from the village, offering a wealth of wonderful walks. Historical sights abound too, from the magnificent castle at Bamburgh (3.5 miles) to the castle and priory on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne (18.5 miles), and the ‘Harry Potter’ castle at Alnwick (15 miles).

Cottage very cosy and comfortable, well equipped. A couple of small niggles with shower head and lumpy pillows. Overall, a great place to stay.

The property was very cramped, you had not set the property up as a twin second bedroom though I had asked 3 times, no oven gloves, the remote control would not operate 90% of the time, changed batteries and it was still not working.. See your comments from previous guests re the beds really poor mattresses they need changing. What you were goodRead more at is trying to fix problems after we arrived, like providing oven gloves.

Puffins Nest was perfectly located. It was very well equipped including for our 18 month old. We managed to get two cars on the driveway on what was advertised as a singe car driveway. It felt cosy and the owners have cleanly gone above and beyond to make Puffins Nest feel like a home away from homes.

The double bed needs a new mattress and duvet covers that fir properly, it was too big with lots of sheet with no duvet in it. The other bedroom looked in the picture like it was a double bed but was 2 singles. This room was the biggest but only had a narrow chest of drawers and bedside table, the wardrobe had a load of other stuff in it so my daugRead morehter didn't use it. There wasn't really any where to put toiletries in the bathroom. Apart from that it is a lovely cost place to stay and very convenient for getting around to where we wanted to go. Hide
