A well-cared for cottage, situationed only a hundred metres from the seashore, with walks along the clifftop or down to the rocky foreshore. The village centre is only ten mintues walk away, with a good range of shops. Boat trips from the harbour to the Farne islands and Holy Island, and up the coast is Bamburgh Castle with an excellent display. AnRead mored lots of sandy beaches to enjoy. And a warm welcome from Kate. Hide

We had a lovely stay at Shell Cottage - the location is perfect for access to the coast path, and Seahouses itself. Perfect for the dog with fully secure back garden, and cosy cottage for evenings in. Well-equipped kitchen for self-catering, and very communicative and helpful host! Thank you!

Excellent location - few minutes walk to the beach, coastal path. shops and restaurants. Shell Cottage has a small kitchen but fine to prepare meals. It has a large fridge freezer which was very good when self catering. The wine rack was appreciated ! The beds were comfy- linen was of good quality.
