Property code: OC-CN097

Inviting you to treat your family to an unforgettable escape, both pink-toed and tufty-pawed adventurers will have a ball from this three-bedroom home in Seahouses, Northumberland. A delightful coastal town brimming with charm and with plenty to see and do, all generations can happily ease away the hours walking, talking and tucking into fresh local cuisine. And, with space for up to six people and your loyal canine chum, everyone will be able to enjoy each moment together.

Grab your bags and waste no time settling in – you can access the property via two entrances, with the main entrance leading you straight into the open-plan living area. Light-filled and decorated in attractive neutral tones that focus full glory on the property’s incredible sea views, peace and tranquillity reign throughout. From leisurely mornings sipping coffee and sliding treats to your dog in the gorgeous lounge/kitchen/diner to evenings tucking into fizz and nibbles on the balcony, this property simply oozes relaxation. To round off each day with your pack, wind down in one of the three bedrooms; the master bedroom is accessed via a small spiral staircase (N. B. can be steep for some) from the lounge and has an en-suite, while the two others are located downstairs.
 
Although this property doesn’t have a garden, its superb access to local walks means you’ll want to spend as much time as possible out and about. Pop your pup on his lead and stroll along the front to the harbour quay (less than 0.5 miles), listening to the soundtrack of gulls before popping into one of the dog-friendly eateries. From the quay, you can take boat trips to the Farne Islands to spy grey seals and puffins, while 1 mile away at North Sunderland Beach you can enjoy revitalising strolls along the shore, throwing ball after ball for your playful pal.

This was a wonderful cottage. The setting was amazing with fabulous views of the harbour and beyond. Obviously the number of steps could be an issue but we managed to navigate all including the spiral stairs. Very well equipped. Easy access to the owners for any questions. An excellent holiday.

A comfortable and perfectly positioned cottage with spectacular views across the harbour and beyond, only a few minutes walk to cafes, pubs and shops, the owners have thought of and provided everything to make a most enjoyable holiday. The spiral staircase could be a challenge for older guests but the view at the top is the reward.

A lovely spotlessly clean place to stay. Location is really good with views from all the rooms looking over to the Farne Islands, the Longstone Lighthouse and all the comings and goings of people and boats from the pier. We have stayed there 2 years running and enjoyed our visits. Seahouses is a good base for seeing the area and with adequate shopsRead more. cafes and restaurants. There is even swinmming and Spa facilities at The Ocean Club. Hide
