Overview
Property code: OC-COQ106

Get the whole family together for a stay on the stunning Northumberland Coast. Enjoying a peaceful rural location just 1 mile from the coastal village of Seahouses, this fantastic pet-friendly holiday home accommodates up to 11 guests and two dogs in complete comfort. The 200-year-old property is brimming with character and cosy features that make it perfect for all seasons, from roaring wood burners to a unique Kota BBQ hut that lets you make full use of the garden even on cooler days. Surrounded by the beauty of the National Landscape coastline, it’s ideally placed for daily adventures.

Spacious and light-filled, this impressive heritage property offers room for everyone to spread out. You’ll likely find Rover and Fido curled up by one of the wood burners in the lounge or dining room, or basking in the sunshine of the lovely conservatory. A modern kitchen is the perfect place for cooking big meals, while the utility offers a washing machine, tumble dryer, additional fridge and microwave for a relaxed break. The enclosed garden is a delight for pets and people alike, with a large lawn perfect for ball games and al fresco fun. Back inside, five beautifully styled bedrooms are set across two floors. With a mix of super-king-size, king-size and twin layouts, along with five accompanying bathrooms, there’s plenty of space for everyone to rest and recharge in peace.

Set tails wagging with hikes along the nearby coastal path. Stroll through Seahouses, pausing at cosy pubs and eateries, before making your way to Seahouses Beach (1 mile). From here, follow the coast path north towards Bamburgh (3 miles), keeping your eyes peeled for seals and puffins offshore while Fido sniffs out wildlife on land. Enjoy games of fetch on Bamburgh Beach, while the castle and Farne Islands provide a spectacular backdrop to your seaside adventure.

Beware the many steps are not suitable for anyone who is at all infirm. The property is a bit tired, the bedrooms are a bit cramped and some of the furniture is inappropriate. The owner micro manages the central heating so the house can be cold and the hot water and showers are a bit restricted.

See comments above. The location was fine for us - 10-15 minute walk into Seahouses pubs and shops. We managed to park 4 cars on the drive. The dining table comfortably seated 10 adults. We would have liked a bigger cooker and fridge/freezer. Some crockery, from previous occupation, was put away dirty.

We booked the Old Manse for a holiday to bring all 11 members of our family together. The house suited us perfectly with large comfortable en suite bedrooms for each couple and the children.

A good property, wecome pack excellent, really lovely garden. Barbecue hut unexpected and and a great hit with the kids. Beds very comfortable. Cleanliness not so good, dog hair, old cereal under dining table and some pans that needed washing before they could be used, also a very strong smell of dog in the downstairs bedroom was unpleasant.

We stayed at The Old Manse for 7 nights as a multi generational family of 6 adults and 4 young children. Overall we had a super week. The property easily accommodated us all and each bedroom had an en-suite bathroom with shower. The beds were super comfy and everyone slept well. The property is in a great location near the coast with lots to do in Read morethe local area without having to drive too far! The garden was perfect for the children to play in being fully enclosed and visible from the wrap around conservatory. The children (and adults) enjoyed the novelty of having the Kota hut for barbecues. The kitchen was very well equipped with lots of cups, cutlery and crockery and the welcome pack provided was excellent (the best weve had) We took advantage of the Ocean Club membership and visited the pool there (chargeable) on one afternoon which got a thumbs up! David, the host, contacted us on the first night with lots of helpful info for our stay. Hide

Lovely house and wonderful gardens but let down by the standard of housekeeping. It really needs a deep spring clean. The fridge is far too small for a sleep 10 house. One tea towel is not adequate for a week! We couldnt use the bbqs as they were so greasy, and the oven was nearly as bad. We knew the house accepted dogs but didnt expect to find as Read moremany dog hairs, particularly in the conservatory. I had to clean out the cutlery drawers of food debris. Thankfully there was a dishwasher. However the house is in a great location - just a short walk into Seahouses, and a lovely walk to the beach down the path opposite. The gardens are super. It was great having each bedroom ensuite. Hide

We visited and stayed for a few days as a multi-generational family and we really enjoyed it. The house is very well-catered for, every room was very comfortable and there was plenty of room for our party of 10. The only suggestion that we have is to improve the water pressure of the shower upstairs.
