A beautifully converted 18th century cottage perched on the bustling harbourfront of Seahouses on the spectacular Northumbrian Coast. This contemporary hideaway is perfect for families and friends seeking a chic seaside retreat.

Head to the harbour and embark on an adventure to the Farne Islands for the chance to spot local puffins and grey seals perching on the rocks. Soak in the salty ocean breeze as you follow the coastal trail to Bamburgh, 3 miles, and spot the impressive castle towering above the shoreline.

This lovingly restored property boasts bright rooms, a crisp interior, and original features. Pass through the small courtyard to the cottage entrance, opening onto a convenient boot room. Relax in the open-plan ground floor space with a stylish, compact kitchen and a wooden dining table.

The tranquil sleeping areas consist of a King-size master bedroom with a raised seating area and a balcony with ocean views, as well as a peaceful twin room with nautical design touches.

Reviews

This was out second visit to Mason’s Cottage - we love everything about it. Hoping to book for next trip soon

Miss C,

Excellent location, well equipped

Mr W,

Clean, warm, comfortable and well equipped. A lovely cottage in an ideal location.

Mr W,

lovely holiday great location with cottage right in amongst it

Mr O,

Lovely cottage. Great location, quiet at night. View of the harbour. Comfortable . Really liked the bedroom. Having parking in front of the cottage very convenient.

Miss M,

Enjoyed morning coffee on the balcony as the sun was rising

Mr G,

Beautifully and tastefully decorated and furnished. Captivating views of harbour and sea from the balcony, with comfortable chairs just inside for colder days. Very comfortable bed and all mod cons. The cottage was very cosy, which was important in a fairly chilly week. The little lights on the stairs were very helpful, as were the two very robust hand rails on the stairs. We would book again if the opportunity arose.

Mr C,

Perhaps

Mrs J,

The cottage was perfect. The wee extras were much appreciated too. Can’t wait to revisit. We’ve been to Seahouses several times and this has been the best cottage by far. Can’t wait to revisit

Miss C,

Smashing little cottage overlooking the harbour. Just loved sitting out in the morning sun on the balcony. Great views from the bedrooms and the owners have made the most of the opportunities to sit with the views in mind. Fully equipped home from home.

Mrs K,

Location

Only yards to the harbour's edge, 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 cottage 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 on the harbour where you can leave on excursions to visit the Farne Islands, to see Puffins (May, June & 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).
