Overview
Property code: OC-GD0212

Pop open a bottle of bubbly on the decking while gazing out across Budle Bay during your getaway in the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Set over three floors offering sea views, this two-bedroom apartment is perfect for a family who wants to surround themselves with nature while also having historic landmarks and quaint villages nearby.

Step inside and find yourself in the bright, neutral-toned lounge with a splash of contemporary decor. Gather with your loved ones for an evening of games on the Wii while sitting on the leather sofas in front of the flame-effect electric fire. Climb the stairs to reach the first-floor open-plan living space where you’ll find a farmhouse-style kitchen with glossy cabinets, dark surface tops and modern appliances. Take a break from cooking and admire the sea views from the window seat. Serve a feast on the wooden dining table and enjoy a relaxing drink on the armchair. On the second floor is a family shower room and two bedrooms – a double with a TV and sea views plus a twin room. Outside, you’ll find a lawn with picnic tables which is shared with neighbouring properties.

Set in a quiet and picturesque area of the Northumberland coast, take advantage of the scenic hiking trails along the seafront and around Budle Bay (less than 0.5 miles) – a beach, nature reserve and hot spot for seabirds. Don’t miss a visit to the nearby Bamburgh village (3 miles) where you can stroll around the imposing Bamburgh Castle, stop for refreshments at a tearoom and unwind on the sandy beach. Head north to reach Holy Island which can be accessed by the causeway (10 miles) during low tide.

The living room has no windows and felt like being in a cellar. The kitchen sofa is very small and not suitable for 2 so no where to relax during the day

The property is ideally situated for commuting to a variety of locations worth visiting,everything we needed was available so was truly like a home from home,would recommend this property to anyone,we were sad to have to come home and could have quite easily stayed longer.

The property is in an excellent location and has a great view of Budle Bay. There are adequate facilities to cook your own meals and some excellent places to eat out - would recommend the Elan Pizzeria in Seahouses. However there are some small niggles which could be improved to assist with convenience and enjoyment of the stay.

We have entered very favourable scores as we feel that Seal Bay and the quality of service deserves them. However, it should be noted that upon arrival, we had to make up the beds and the fresh bedding and towels were left in bin bags in the downstairs hallway. We were initially unsure if this was used or clean replacement linen. This was the onRead morely disappointment we had with the property. Hide

The apartment was very comfortable. The welcome pack was very generous and so good to find after a long and tiring journey. We only used one of the two bedrooms and the downstairs sitting room was too dark for us to use in summer; probably cosy in winter. The apartment was very quiet. The view from the building, across Budle Bay was beautiful anRead mored fascinating with a range of wildlife to observe through binoculars and telescope. The kitchen was small but well equipped. The surrounding area included some really stunning beach walks, wildlife, castles, churches, ancient buildings, shops and pubs. The apartment was an ideal base. Hide
