Property code: OC-CN067

Creel Cottage is a lovely two bedroom, stone-built fisherman’s cottage with plenty of character, located in the heart of Seahouses.  The cottage is only a few minutes away from the busy fishing harbour from where you can take boat trips across to The Farne Islands - very popular with all visitors to Seahouses. While the bustling village has a wide array of village shops, tea rooms, friendly bars and restaurants. Invigorating coastal walks can be taken right from the door - leave the car behind and enjoy walking along the coastal path to Bamburgh with its magnificent castle. Stop off for afternoon tea in the little tea rooms, visit the Grace Darling museum or have dinner in one of the renowned restaurants before heading back to Seahouses.

Just half an hour's drive from Seahouses is the famous Alnwick Castle and Gardens. The castle is one of Britain’s most iconic castles and they have an array of events on throughout the year. You can visit their state rooms, exploring the second largest inhabited castle in the UK. Dating back to 1309, its story has been intertwined with the Percy Family, who still live on site today. Next to the castle is the amazing Alnwick Gardens. With their large treehouse restaurant, this garden is one of the world's most extraordinary, contemporary gardens. You can purchase a combined ticket and visit both the gardens and the castle in one day.

The lounge in the cottage has solid oak flooring and a wood burning stove with an initial log and kindling supply, Smart TV, full central heating, combi boiler and double glazing making it an ideal choice for a warm and cosy getaway all year round. The open tread staircase which may not be suitable for guests with a mobility condition, leads onto two comfortable bedrooms; one with a king-size bed and a second with bunk beds. The bathroom is located on the ground floor - ideal for a couple or a family holiday.

There is private, off-road parking for one small to medium size vehicle to the side of the property.

Lovely cottage. Very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. Superb location, nice and quiet. Parking space essential! Steep stairs and a downstairs bathroom so needed concentration if getting up in the night! (but it wasn't a problem). Thoroughly enjoyed staying at Creel Cottage

The cottage was comfortable and cosy. The kitchen was very well equipped and a pleasure to cook in. The bed was very comfortable and we appreciated the blackout curtains in the bedroom. The location is great, peaceful but also a short walk to restaurants and shops. The only thing that we didnt like was the shower, which was pretty weak.

Cosy old fisherman's cottage located just up from the harbour and close to a couple of good pubs. Also within easy walking distance of local COOP and high street. Parking a bit restricted but OK with a medium sized car. Bathroom is downstairs so could be a problem for someone with mobility or bladder concerns.

We had a lovely week staying here. The cottage was well equipped, clean & comfortable. Just a 2 minute walk down to the harbour, passing 2 great local pubs. The Black Swan does great food & cocktails. It was a great base to travel around the Northumberland coast line, only a short drive to Bamborough. Highly recommend a boat trip to the Farne islanRead moreds & holy island. Craster Kippers are a must! The cottage itself is lovely, the only downside was the downstairs bathroom. Hide
