An inviting coastal house wonderfully located only a short stroll from the town centre of Seahouses and with great access to the rugged coastline of Northumberland. This retreat is ideal for couples seeking a tranquil beachside hideaway. Step out and explore the quaint village of Seahouses, less than 100 metres from your doorstep, where you can stroll by a selection of local gift shops, refuel with some hearty fish and chips, or visit the iconic fish smokehouse. Amble or cycle along the coastal trail towards Beadnell, 2 miles, and saunter along the sandy shoreline to revel at the impressive beachfront castle of Bamburgh, 3.7 miles.

This is a sleek, semi-detached property boasting a contemporary interior, bright social areas, and spacious rooms. The ground floor opens into a light-flooded kitchen, the perfect space for preparing some locally sourced treats and dining around the table. Grab a bottle and unwind in the lounge with a large leather sofa and a cosy wood burner effect stove. The first floor encompasses a peaceful king-size room with ample storage, a seating area, and a modern bathroom.

Relax in the sunny garden with a patio area and outdoor furniture.

The cottage was one of the best we've ever stayed in. Great location, clean and inviting with little touches left like toiletries, tea, coffee, milk along with other bits. We loved our stay here and often come to Northumberland for a holiday so we would certainly look to come back to this cottage

A lovely cottage in a great position near the town centre of Seahouses. Had everything we needed for our weeks stay. Has a lovely garden that will be a great bonus in the summer months. Seahouses has a lot of facilities and is a perfect base to explore Northumberland and the Scottish Borders.

Our first visit to Northumbria and what a pleasure it has been. Kingfisher's Rest was perfect for us, very comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The surprise addition of a Christmas tree and decorations was such a lovely touch, along with the welcome items and bottle of wine and chocolates was very much appreciated. The off-road parkiRead moreng was great. In a very convenient position for restaurants and everyday shopping, the Spice House was excellent. A good base for either walking or exploring from. We really hope to return. Thank you for everything. Hide

Our cottage was extremely clean and very well decorated. The bed was very comfortable with top quality bed linen and towels, with plenty of hot water. The lounge had a very comfortable settee and chairs and the kitchen was very well equipped. The cottage was extremely cosy and warm, with just a short stroll into the village it is ideally located.

This is a cheep accomadaton that is well situated to explore the Northumberland coast line. It does all that you want from accomodation without any specific frills. I would point out that you should be prepared to bring your own toilet rolls and cleaning materials as these are very limited. However this is a minor complaint as overall you get reasoRead morenable value for money accomodation. Hide

The settee cushions moved forward everytime you got up and the bed for us was too hard but we are used to memory foam. I appreciate you cannot please everyone fully and these issues would not deter us from booking this accommodation again as everything else was great. The booking went very smoothly from booking to the finish of the stay

A great property to stay at in a great location. Based on previous comments in the visitors book and our own experience, it may be wise to not advertise a welcome pack if it is not going to supplied! It did not detract from our stay, but it would have been nice after a very long journey. Im sure the property owners will feel let down when they readRead more the visitors book. Hide
