The Watch House in Seahouses is highly praised for its stunning views, ideal location, and comfortable, well-equipped accommodation. Guests repeatedly commend the property's cleanliness, cosy atmosphere, and proximity to local amenities. The scenic harbour and beach walks, along with the character of the house, contribute to a memorable stay. While there are minor suggestions for improvement, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests returning and planning future visits.
Guests consistently mention the exceptional cleanliness of The Watch House, with particular praise for the modern bathroom and fresh bedding and towels. The property's upkeep appears to be of a high standard, contributing to the overall positive experience.
The location of The Watch House is frequently highlighted as a standout feature, with its proximity to the harbour, beaches, and village centre. The views of the Farne Islands, Bamburgh Castle, and the sea are particularly cherished by guests.
Comfort is a recurring theme in the reviews, with guests finding the property cosy and the beds comfy. The living room is noted for its warmth and the views it offers, although one suggestion for blinds to reduce glare indicates a slight room for improvement.
The facilities at The Watch House are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and the addition of Wi-Fi. However, there are comments about confusion with recycling and a minor issue with hot water, which was promptly addressed, suggesting most facilities are well-maintained.
While guests appreciate the welcome card and bottle of wine, as these gifts are not consistently mentioned across the reviews, it is not possible to accurately assess the thoughtfulness of the host in this regard. Therefore, the score is set to null, and future guests should note that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

The house was well laid-out and had everything we needed! Its location in the town was perfect too.
