18th Century Fisherman's Cottage in Seahouses

Seahouses is situated on the magnificent North Northumberland coast-30 miles from the Scottish Border. The fishing harbour is flanked on either side to the north and south by miles of beautiful unspolit beaches. Seahouses offers many amenities including an array of cafes, pubs and shops. Fishing trips and boat trips to the Farne Islands, famous for its bird sanctuaries and seal colony, depart regularly. There are several world class golf courses in the surrounding area, Seahouses Gold Course being a 5 minute walk from cottage. Places to visit within an approximate ten-mile radius include: Holy Island, home of Christianity in the North of England. Bamburgh, with its magnificent castle dominating the village. The imposing ruins of Dunstanburgh castle. Craster, home of the world famous Craster Kippers. Alnwick, an ancient market town with yet another impressive ancient castle and Alnwick Gardens.

Much of the Northumberland’s coastline is designated an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ and is renowned for its long clean sandy beaches, quiet hidden coves and secluded bays. There is forty miles of ‘Heritage’ coastline to discover, stretching between Berwick and Amble, with many picturesque coastal villages along the way including Seahouses, Beadnell, Embleton, Craster and Boulmer to name but a few.

Off shore between the ancient villages of Bamburgh and Seahouses lies the Farne Islands. In the care of The Natural Trust, these islands are a popular destination for wildlife lovers, with a great variety of seabirds and large colonies of grey seals. Boat trips to the islands can be taken all year round but are particularly rewarding during May, June and July when tens of thousands of breeding sea birds can be seen.
