Reviews

Excellent cottage very comfortable very spacious. Perfect location for exploring the area. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

Mrs D,

Great accommodation well equipped and good location for seeing north Northumberland

Mr C,

Superb cottage for the two of us. Our second time here. Immaculately clean and tidy. Really well equipped with everything we needed. Warm and comfortable. Just a few minutes walk into Seahouses and to the beach. Separate bathroom for a nice soak after a long breezy walk along the beach. Powerful shower in the en-suite. Good off road parking on the driveway next to the cottage so easy to load and unload car.

Mr L,

Incredibly spacious, well-equipped and immaculately-kept accommodation. Very quiet and peaceful location within walking distance of the village in North Sunderland and a 5 minute drive to the shops and attractions in both Seahouses and Bamburgh.

Mr M,

Perfect place for 2. Even his and hers bathrooms! Absolutely fully equipped with everything you might need. The view to the Farne Islands from the kitchen door is a real treat in the morning. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting either a walking holiday or a base to explore Northumberland castles. Eating out in Seahouses can be hit and miss. Would advise booking the Italian or the Castle.

Mr W,

A wonderful cottage in a lovely setting with everything you need for a lovely stay would definitely choose this place again

Mr D,

Cottage in great location, very comfortable especially the bed and had almost everything we required (except a corkscrew). We assumed from the pictures it was a single story building but there is a property above the bedroom from which we heard noise most nights

Mr B,

We really enjoyed our stay at The Stables. The space was brilliant and my daughter loved the fact she had room to do cartwheels in the living area. The accommodation was spotless when we arrived, and the kitchen was very well equipped with lots of space for food prep. The location is perfect for exploring the coast of Northumberland, with Seahouses just 20 minutes walk away, a really sandy beach about the same, and just a 5-10 minute drive to the A1 for going further distances. If we choose to holiday in Northumberland again we will definitely see if this property is available.

Ms S,

Superb Beautifully presented and very comfortable More than home from home Owner was delightful to meet also !

Mr W,

Excellent cottage

Mrs A,

It's a super cottage, so warm and modern, everything good quality , owner on hand for any queries.

Mrs R,

Fantastic modern cottage. Everything you could wish for. Well equipped, comfortable, spacious, 2 bathrooms and a proper bath. Great location, quiet but only a 15min walk into Seahouses for a meal or a walk on the beach.

Mr L,

Location

Just a mile into the centre of Seahouses on foot, The Stables@Westfield offers access to the village and all its amenities, from the busy harbour where seating is provided so you can while away the hours watching the toings and froings of harbour life, or stretch your legs on the beautiful beaches which run North and South and are ideal for leisurely walks, or for those more adventurous try the 6 mile return beach walk to Bamburgh, or the 14 mile return journey to Newton by the Sea (great pub awaits for the mid walk break).
The Stables@Westfield is close to all the village amenities - shops, butchers, bakers (no candlestick maker tho), pubs & restaurants, newsagents, petrol station, library, resource centre for internet access, takeaways, and the harbour where you can leave on excursions to visit the Farne Islands, to see Puffins (May to July), Grey Seals and many other species of birds. The area is popular with birdwatchers and photographers.
Just 2.5 miles up the coast by road is Bamburgh and its wonderful castle on a rocky outcrop overlooking the beach, and 15 miles south you'll find Alnwick Castle and Garden a popular spot for those with green fingers, and Harry Potter fans (the castle was Hogwarts and the site of the quiddich pitch in the 1st two films).
