Cottage in Northumberland

About this property

This small white washed traditional fisherman s cottage is an ideal coastal getaway for couples visiting Northumberland. Situated in a quiet corner of Seahouses, the cottage is a short walk from the village's harbour front, beaches, shops, restaurants and cafes and is perfect for those wishing to just relax or as a base for exploring Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. Once you have finished exploring the village you can take a boat trip to the spectacular Farne Islands to spot the resident puffins and grey seals or set out on foot to follow the coastal path north to picturesque village of Bamburgh. In Bamburgh you can visit the magnificent castle, once home to the Kings of Northumbria, the rnli Grace Darling Museum or just explore the village and its stunning beach, Bamburgh also has a number of lovely shops, pubs, restaurants and tearooms. Also within easy reach are the dramatic castles at Alnwick, Dunstanburgh and Warkworth, the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, the glorious beaches at Beadnell, Embleton and Alnmouth and perhaps for the more adventurous, the Simonside and Cheviot Hills. A little further afield, amongst other places to visit are the lovely villages of Rothbury, home to stunning Cragside Hall and grounds, and Kelso, home to the ruined abbey and Floors Castle. This charming cottage is cosy and welcoming with a light and airy feel throughout while retaining many of its original features.
