Get the whole gang together at this tranquil stone-built cottage set in a quiet spot in North Sunderland – just 0.5 miles outside the pretty fishing village of Seahouses. Sleeping seven across four bedrooms, this retreat is ideal for families or groups of friends looking for a welcoming cottage on the Northumberland coast. During the day, take a stroll along Seahouses Harbour and treat yourself to some local fish and chips. Host dinners in the cottage’s light, bright orangery while admiring enchanting views over the patio garden.
Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a spacious lounge that effortlessly blends its modern design touches with its cosy ambience. Head to the adjoining open-plan kitchen/dining area to rustle up dinner. Gather everyone around the dining table in the orangery for a meal. Alternatively, head through the sliding patio doors to the garden to dine alfresco with pretty views. After dinner, head to the games room on the second floor, or relax on the first-floor balcony with beautiful sea views. There’s a second lounge on the second floor with Velux windows where you can hide away and read. You’ll find four generously sized bedrooms on the first floor – two doubles, one smaller double with a 4' double bed that sleeps one person, and a twin that can be converted into a double on request.
History buffs will love spending a day exploring Bamburgh Castle (3.5 miles), which is perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the breathtaking beach. Alternatively, pack up a picnic and head to Beadnell Bay (3.5 miles) to relax on the golden sands – it’s a great spot to try your hand at windsurfing or kitesurfing. Seahouses is also home to a golf club and wildlife boat tours, alongside charming shops and cafes, so you don’t have to venture far for a memorable holiday.
