There are lots of little extras that make the cottage a cosy home from home. Having two ensuite bathrooms and a downstairs loo for a two bedroom is rare and very welcome along with off-road parking in Seahouses. Great location, spitting distance from pubs, restaurants and local shops and a fabulous base for coastal walks. The owner Tina and local cleaning team are really friendly and helpful. This was our second winter stay at Lobsterpot and we have already booked to return next year !

Perfectly located in Seahouses, close to harbour and all local amenities. The cottage is very well equipped and had everything needed to make our stay relaxed and enjoyable. Great, comfortable beds, the cottage is very well heated, so was lovely and cosy, woodburner is also a welcome addition. We enjoyed our stay so much we have rebooked for next year. Would definitely recommend!
