Escape with your loved ones to this pretty cottage in the lively fishing village of Seahouses. Sleeping five people across three bedrooms, it’s ideal for small families or groups of friends searching for a seaside retreat to call home while they explore the rugged Northumberland coastline together. Start your day with a leisurely stroll around Seahouses’ bustling harbour, before setting off to Bamburgh Castle for the afternoon. In the evening, come home to dine al fresco in your cottage’s private garden.
Step inside via the back door and you’ll be welcomed by an inviting open-plan kitchen/dining area. Continue to the lounge and make yourself at home by the wood burner to appreciate the welcoming country-style decor. When it’s time to eat, head back to the kitchen to whip up some dinner to share at the farmhouse-style dining table. Alternatively, head out into the front garden to enjoy a hearty alfresco dinner under starry skies. Afterwards, pour yourself a glass of wine and lose yourself with a good book by the glow of the flickering wood burner in the lounge. You’ll find three pretty bedrooms upstairs – a generous king-size, a lovely twin and a charming single, which are all served by a smart bathroom with a shower over the bath. There’s an electric stair lift and handrail that offers added convenience to those with mobility issues.
Spend a lovely day exploring the country trails and 12th-century church of St Bartholomew in the pretty village of Benthall (2.5 miles). Alternatively, head to Bamburgh Castle (3.5 miles) to admire its dramatic clifftop location – an undisputed photographer’s paradise.
