The Cottage At Seahouses is a spacious dormer bungalow set in Northumberland, just half a mile from Seahouses village. It's 80 metres from Seahouses Beach, so sand and sea are within easy walking distance. The lounge and dining room both have sea views towards the Farne Islands and a wood burner keeps things cosy on cooler evenings. Two pets can come along too.

Seahouses itself has a working harbour, shops, pubs and restaurants along an attractive stretch of coastline. This part of the Northumberland coast is known for boat trips out to the Farne Islands, where seals and seabirds gather in large numbers. Walkers can follow the coast path in either direction and the Cheviot Hills sit inland for those wanting a change of scenery.

This property sleeps 8 across 5 bedrooms, split between ground and first floors. Downstairs has a super-king-size zip-and-link bed (can convert to a twin) plus a single room. Upstairs offers a twin room facing the Cheviot Hills, a single room with garden views and a double room with sea views. Three bathrooms serve the house, giving families or groups plenty of flexibility.

Bamburgh is just 3 miles away (around 10 minutes by car) and home to its famous castle overlooking a vast sandy beach. Holy Island of Lindisfarne, with its castle and priory ruins, lies 19 miles away (about 40 minutes), tide times permitting. Seahouses harbour itself is a short walk for boat trips to the Farne Islands. The coastline nearby is dotted with dunes and rock pools, ideal for a day out with children.

This is a solid pick for a large family or group of friends after a coastal break with room to spread out. The Cottage At Seahouses puts you close to the beach, close to Bamburgh Castle and within striking distance of Lindisfarne. Book today for a fantastic break on the Northumberland coast.
