See how many types of bird you can spot as you enjoy your morning cuppa in the window seat of this comfortable apartment. It’s perfect for couples or families wanting a comfortable retreat in this very special part of Northumberland.

This tranquil apartment is set over three floors of an 18th century former mill. On the ground floor you’ll find a handy cloakroom/WC with space for coats, boots and leads, plus a welcoming lounge with leather sofas and a wall-mounted, flame-effect electric fire. Here you can play games on the Wii and watch TV while your furry friends snooze at your feet. On the first floor the galley kitchen is open plan to a dining area and a second seating area with a sofa and TV. Its window seat makes a cosy perch, with fabulous sea views. On the second level you’ll find the two bedrooms – a double with a TV (and more gorgeous sea views) and a spacious twin, sharing a shower room. Completing the picture of this appealing destination is the shared garden that has picnic tables scattered around the lawn.

The hamlet of Waren Mill is set within the Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve and looks over the important bird sanctuary of Budle Bay. Its beach offers a variety of water sports as well as the chance for energetic zoomies. The 2.5 mile coastal walk to Bamburgh is said to be the most spectacular in the UK. For a great day out explore the town’s shops and places to eat and wander round the grounds of its magnificent Norman castle. Keep going and you’ll reach Seahouses, 6 miles, with its enormous beach and pet-friendly pubs. From here you can also book a boat trip (April to October) to see the extraordinary wildlife of the Farne Islands.

The living room has no windows and felt like being in a cellar. The kitchen sofa is very small and not suitable for 2 so no where to relax during the day

The property is ideally situated for commuting to a variety of locations worth visiting,everything we needed was available so was truly like a home from home,would recommend this property to anyone,we were sad to have to come home and could have quite easily stayed longer.

The property is in an excellent location and has a great view of Budle Bay. There are adequate facilities to cook your own meals and some excellent places to eat out - would recommend the Elan Pizzeria in Seahouses. However there are some small niggles which could be improved to assist with convenience and enjoyment of the stay.

We have entered very favourable scores as we feel that Seal Bay and the quality of service deserves them. However, it should be noted that upon arrival, we had to make up the beds and the fresh bedding and towels were left in bin bags in the downstairs hallway. We were initially unsure if this was used or clean replacement linen. This was the onRead morely disappointment we had with the property. Hide

The apartment was very comfortable. The welcome pack was very generous and so good to find after a long and tiring journey. We only used one of the two bedrooms and the downstairs sitting room was too dark for us to use in summer; probably cosy in winter. The apartment was very quiet. The view from the building, across Budle Bay was beautiful anRead mored fascinating with a range of wildlife to observe through binoculars and telescope. The kitchen was small but well equipped. The surrounding area included some really stunning beach walks, wildlife, castles, churches, ancient buildings, shops and pubs. The apartment was an ideal base. Hide
