Location was not as expected, parking not great unless you have a smart car. Plus high footfall so didn't like leaving my car there, not private. Walkway past the cottage leading to an estate and shortcut to centre and shops, high footfall and noisy, even in the early hours probably from people leaving the pub. Could smell dog, so not great. OuRead moretside area was horrible, next to the bins and no privacy. Only good thing it was close to marina for visiting the Farne Islands. Hide

The cottage was ideally situated for Seahouses Harbour and the cottage is well described and therefore a very comfortable place to stay. The little extras that are left (Tea/Coffee/milk/wine etc) are lovely touch and very welcome. Equipment and utensils are in good condition and therefore caters for all your needs. Many thanks for a great breakRead more, the Northumberland coast is great to explore and we will definitely be back. Hide
