A gorgeous stone cottage in the coastal village of Seahouses, this lovely retreat makes an idyllic Northumberland base. Sleeping eight guests, the four-bedroom property is ideal for one or two families, as well as couples on a special getaway together. Walk 1 mile to the beautiful, long golden beach, which is popular for swimming, birdwatching and picnicking. Keen walkers might also like to strike out along the sand when the tide is out and venture to Bamburgh, 3 miles away. Here you can play golf, visit the Grace Darling Museum and explore the castle, which has become famous since appearing in the Last Kingdom television series. Make the most of the shops and eateries of Seahouses and book a puffin cruise out to the Farne Islands from the harbour. Plan a day out to Berwick-upon-Tweed, 22 miles away, with its bridges, Elizabethan walls and friendly pubs and restaurants serving seafood.
Let yourselves in via the hallway, where you can leave walking boots, and head through to the lounge, with its charming colour scheme, to while away some pleasant holiday time with your friends or family. This room, which has an elegant feature fireplace, housing a wood burner-effect gas fire, is the perfect place to chat or watch the Smart TV. Open the French doors to the patio in here so everyone can amble outside. The smaller second lounge opposite is perfect for those who want to enjoy something different on the Smart TV. There is also a Blu-Ray player, plus an Xbox 360, and books and games that the younger members of your household will love. The main lounge leads through to the bright kitchen/diner, a generous spacious room with everything the chef in your group is likely to require. There is also a good-sized oak table for your special feasts. Open the French windows in here too during summer meals. The two ground-floor bedrooms, a king-size and a twin, are in their own wing, accessed from the hallway. There is a door here to ensure privacy and peace. The king-size has an en-suite bathroom, while the family bathroom is opposite the twin. The two additional bedrooms, a super-king-size, with an en-suite bathroom, and a twin, with zip-and-link beds that can be made into a super-king-size on request, are up on the first floor, together with another family bathroom.
Step out into the charming, enclosed, mature garden. Dine out on the stone patio or sip cocktails under the veranda. Let the children play fetch with their four-legged friend on the lawn. There is private parking for up to three cars at the cottage, with additional on-street space close by, subject to availability.
