Reviews for Breakwater Cottage, Seahouses

Martin Fidler - 19 April 2013

We were amazed at the sheer space available for what looks from the outside to be such a small property.It was also comfortably furnished and well equipped. We were amazed with Breakwater Cottage as on the approach it seemed to be so small, however once inside one finds room after room all of an impressive size, and most comfortable. It is a veritable TARDIS. This is the second cottage we have stayed in through yourselves, we were most impressed with the first one and would have stayed there had the dates been available. Breakwater cottage was our second choice however both my wife and I fell in love with this property! Everything was consistently presented in both but Breakwater definitely has the edge.I would definitely recommend Cottages in Northumberland to family or friends on the strength of our stays up to now. Restaurants we tried and were impressed with include the Swan Inn, The Links and for Indian take away, the Spice House.

Mrs Lynne Williamson - 30 March 2013

The cottage was very clean and welcoming all amenities are within walking distance some very nice local attractions i.e. Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island and some good eating places and pubs all within walking distance so no need for a car once you've arrived. Thoroughly enjoyed and will be going back soon.

Andrew Atkinson - 3 November 2012

We enjoyed a really relaxed stay at Breakwater cottage and everything was as expected. Very convenient for the town and beaches. We particularly enjoyed local restaurant, the Elan and local attractions like farne islands boat trip and bamburgh castle.

David Robertson - 2 November 2012

Clean, well equipped, comfortable, lovely bedding and very quiet. Just used cottage as a base so didn't unfortunately spend much time there. Metro Centre as confusing as ever but good for a wet day out. Too many castles to list but treehouse at Alnwick is fantastic and Walkworth is a lovely village with a great beach and scenic walks by the castle.

Fantastic house – clean, lots of space, great kitchen and bathroom. Wonderful Northumberland Coastal scenery. The

Emily Hughes - 18 August 2012

We have had a lovely holiday here in Seahouses. We love the space in Breakwater Cottage and the back garden has been a bonus with the good weather. We loved Embleton Beach & Low Newton.

The Morgan Party - 18 August 2012

We have visited the North East many times in the past but have never discovered the delights of Seahouses until now. Your cottage is excellent – clean, spacious and has all the mod cons that anyone could ask for. The huge TV was particularly appreciated. Seahouses itself has evertything you need in one compact village. We especially enjoyed visits to Bambugh Castle, Alnwick Castle, Cragside and the boat trip to the Farne Islands.

The Wilson family - 11 August 2012

Beautiful weather and scenery. The walk to Bamburgh from Seahouses is what drew us to the area and did not disappoint.We also enjoyed a day on Holy Island with a visit to Lindsfarne Castle. The cottage lived up to expectations and the TV was perfect to watch the fantastic Olympics on. Great Seaside Holiday !

The Brown Party - 28 July 2012

Great – kids really enjoyed the cottage, location and “stuff” to do. Beadnell beach is great and just down the road. Cottage was ideal and ample parking a massive plus point. So much to see and do. Dont forget suncream – The Seahouses sun is deceiving. Will def visit again x

Breakwater is a very good cottage. lt was in a lovely area and very roomy and comfortable and what you needed was there.

Spacious, clean & comfortable . It is a very pleasant area and we did enjoy our stay. I liked the fact that you provided information on the area before our arrival plus there was a 10% discount offer for Bamburgh Castle which we thought was very good and made use of.

The Pledger Family - 13 August 2011

The cottage was of a fantastic standard, beautifully decorated and clean. The kitchen offered everything which was needed, which isn’t always the case in self catering cottages. The bedrooms were huge and the living room meant there was so much space for everyone to live for the week comfortably. The TV with Sky+ was fantastic for the children when it rained. The bathroom and shower were fantastic. A real pleasure to stay, and it was hard to leave ! - August 2011

Mrs Black - 6 June 2011

The cottage was very clean and within easy distance to the harbour, and a good base for sight seeing in the coastal area. Mrs Black - June 2011
