    Good location with easy walks into Seahouses and onto the beach. Would definitely stay again.

    On arrival, we were greeted with a lovely welcome pack and the cleanest property we have ever stayed in. The bedrooms were light and airy and the beds so comfortable. The cottage is situated in the area of North Sunderland which is a comfortable 15 minute walk to the centre. We liked being slightly away from the centre as it was very quiet at night and we had the best sleep! We also liked sitting outside on the bench in the front garden every morning. The kitchen is well equipped and it was nice to have access to an outside space at the back. We would definitely return to The Haven, thank you.
