Reviews

Beautiful location with stunning views out to sea and Bamburgh castle. The rooms are tastefully decorated and comfortable. The king size double room is fabulous. There is so much to see and do and we enjoyed delicious food from local restaurants, pubs and takeaways. Lovely big garden and plenty of space for parking. We were pretty lucky with the weather too for early April! The property is a bit tricky to spot from the road when you first arrive though, and please be aware the staircase to the second floor is incredibly steep, with very shallow steps. Overall, we had a great holiday at Seaton

Mrs C,

Great location and views. Comfortable beds and well equipped.

Mrs W,

A lovely cottage in a wonderful seafront location. You forget that you're on the edge of a town because you can see the Farne Islands from your living room window, but Seahouses is only a couple of minutes on foot.

Mr B,

Great location well maintained property ideal for families.

mrs T,

Seaton was very well equipped and the view was incredible. The garden was fully enclosed, perfect for relaxing and plenty of space for the children to play football. Easy walk into Seahouses to shops, pubs/restaurants and boat trips. Our only complaint would be that there were only 3 dishwasher tablets when staying in property for 7 nights. Despite this, we would definitely recommend this cottage.

Mrs B,

Had a lovely stay here at Seaton. So enjoyed the views, the beach, the town and walking on the golf course. We ventured further to the National Glass Centre at Sunderland- worth a visit for sure! House is beautiful and very comfortable, garden needs some modifications to be dog secure but great to be able to sit out. Puffin cruise on Serenity I'd recommend.

Previous Customer,

We have enjoyed this home very much- wonderful views, very comfortable rooms and lovely decor. The beach is wonderful over the road as is Bamburgh- down to the bottom car park on The Wynding is our favorite spot. Lindisfarne worth a trip - lovely weather and a good Friday, it felt very special. Enjoy your visit as much as we did, the sound of the wave is amazing.

Previous Customer,

We've had a wonderful stay. We loved the house and garden. Lovely and clean. So comfortable and well placed for days out.

The M,

Fabulous cottage back garden was so safe for dogs to be in. View from cottage stunning. Prime location.

Mrs Karen P,

The House was in a location that was almost perfect, the comfort of the house was very good (furniture a mix of old styles but very comfortable and perfect for a holiday home)....Was a bit surprised to find quite so many cobwebs on lamps, room corners etc and was very surprised to find tooth paste stains on glass shelf above sink in main bedroom...(No oven gloves which has been mentioned a few times in reviews)...The instructions for Laundry was a little misleading..Please leave in Bags that were not supplied or notes to say to put in linen boxes and then on checkout info on site leave on floor!....On the whol a great holiday home and would certainly stay here again as these were only minor things to be fair.....

Mr Martin C,

The property was cold and even though there was a stove in the lounge, there was no wood for it and we had to buy the wood?

Mr Philip H,

Good communication and information. Beautiful Property much as described

Mrs Helen T,

Seaton was a lovely holiday home, in a fantastic location. Beds were wonderful as was the garden. Spotlessly clean.

Mrs Lindsay M,
