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 room 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).

We were extremely dismayed to find that the cottage had not been cleaned following the departure of the previous occupants. Used towels and bedding were still present, and the overall state of the accommodation was unacceptable. I phoned the on holiday emergency line at 5:20 PM as soon as I arrived at the property and was assured that someone woulRead mored attend to the matter that evening. Unfortunately, no one arrived. As a result, we were forced to sleep in stripped beds with no clean towels available for washing. When the property was cleaned the next day it was done to a high standard. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. We can confirm that we have discussed the issue with the cleaner the issue has now been resolved. Hide

We had a lovely stay. The location is excellent and the bonus of car parking space is a massive added bonus. The Puffin theme is beautifully coordinated throughout. We would return.
