Property code: OC-GD1735

This special escape just for two makes the perfect base for walking the coast path, exploring the shops and eateries of Seahouses or simply relaxing and recharging at home. Comfortable and cosy, it has a stylish, bright lounge and a lovely garden for relaxing.

Enter this end-of-terrace house via the four stone steps to its front door. Inside, you’ll find a bright and airy lounge where a wood-burner-effect electric stove provides a lovely focal point. An evening spent here is bound to make you feel recharged. The kitchen/diner is another wonderful space, with everything the cook could need to create delicious holiday meals and snacks, and a sweet dining table for four in the corner. The pale, muted colours of downstairs continue on the first floor in the tranquil king-size bedroom and the sleek bathroom. There’s space on the small patio to sit and enjoy a morning coffee or a sundowner while you admire the beautiful garden with its well-tended lawn and flower borders.

The heart of the popular village of Seahouses is less than 100m from the property, and here you can wander the interesting shops, visit the iconic fish smokehouse, enjoy an excellent fish-and-chip takeaway or while away an evening in a friendly pub. Don’t miss out on a boat trip to the Farne Islands, an important bird sanctuary, where you can see puffins in the spring and summer. If you want to try some outdoor activities, cycling, golf, riding, fishing, surfing and scuba diving are all available nearby. Alternatively, a stroll along the coast path takes you to Bamburgh and its magnificent castle in 3.5 miles, or the incredible Alnwick Castle, which starred as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films, is just 15 miles.

A lovely cottage in a great position near the town centre of Seahouses. Had everything we needed for our weeks stay. Has a lovely garden that will be a great bonus in the summer months. Seahouses has a lot of facilities and is a perfect base to explore Northumberland and the Scottish Borders.

Our first visit to Northumbria and what a pleasure it has been. Kingfisher's Rest was perfect for us, very comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The surprise addition of a Christmas tree and decorations was such a lovely touch, along with the welcome items and bottle of wine and chocolates was very much appreciated. The off-road parkiRead moreng was great. In a very convenient position for restaurants and everyday shopping, the Spice House was excellent. A good base for either walking or exploring from. We really hope to return. Thank you for everything. Hide

Our cottage was extremely clean and very well decorated. The bed was very comfortable with top quality bed linen and towels, with plenty of hot water. The lounge had a very comfortable settee and chairs and the kitchen was very well equipped. The cottage was extremely cosy and warm, with just a short stroll into the village it is ideally located.

This is a cheep accomadaton that is well situated to explore the Northumberland coast line. It does all that you want from accomodation without any specific frills. I would point out that you should be prepared to bring your own toilet rolls and cleaning materials as these are very limited.

The settee cushions moved forward everytime you got up and the bed for us was too hard but we are used to memory foam. I appreciate you cannot please everyone fully and these issues would not deter us from booking this accommodation again as everything else was great.

A great property to stay at in a great location. Based on previous comments in the visitors book and our own experience, it may be wise to not advertise a welcome pack if it is not going to supplied! It did not detract from our stay, but it would have been nice after a very long journey. Im sure the property owners will feel let down when they readRead more the visitors book. Hide

Everything was excellent and we loved it in this property. However I have dropped one on the equipment score as I felt that there needed to be a couple of additions to the kitchen. A couple of casserole dished of different sizes. There was nothing but metal tins to cook in.. ..Not always appropriate. Also some Pyrex bowls for mixing. E G there wasRead more nothing to mix a crumble topping in and then nothing to cook it in. One jug and one small Pyrex container were often in use and there was nothing else to mix in. There were only 2 saucepans and they were the same size! I could have done with a couple more. Everything else being so good these basic pieces of kitchen equipment would really make 5* all round.
