Toast beside the wood burner or soak up the sunshine out in the pretty courtyard when you stay at this exquisite stone house in Seahouses. Sleeping six guests, as well as being a great option for anyone wishing to bring a four-legged friend, this three-bedroom Northumberland retreat offers characterful, inviting accommodation. Set at the heart of the coastal village, it is just over 350 metres from the beach and coastal footpath.
Wander inside to find airy, stylish rooms with colourful touches of stained glass here and there. At the heart of the cottage is a double-height atrium, where you and your party can dine in style, with the French doors open to the courtyard during the summer months. The kitchen is a well-equipped room, with ample space for catering for your friends or family. Head through to the lounge to relax, chat and play games or unwind in the snug in front of a roaring wood burner and your favourite programme on TV. A utility room and a WC are also downstairs. Make your way up to the splendid galleried landing, where natural light streams in from above, to find your beautiful bedrooms. These include a super-king-size, a king-size and a twin, all with vaulted ceilings and TVs. The super-king-size and king-size bedrooms each have an en-suite shower room. There is also a family bathroom. Have breakfast out in the charming courtyard on fine days and cook lunch or dinner on the BBQ. Open a bottle of wine and sit out under the stars.
Stroll almost 400 metres down to the harbour at Seahouses to watch the boats. From here, book a trip to the Farne Islands or see the grey seals. Pick up the Northumberland Coast Path and walk 3 miles to Bamburgh, where you can visit the striking castle.
