Reviews

Great place to stay loved it would stay again

Mr W,

Third stay. Well located close to village and beach. Clean, warm, comfortable.

Mr S,

A very comfortable, warm and very located cottage. The ‘improvement’ comments are very minor. We have already recommended to family and hope to rebook next year for ourselves

Mr S,

Our ninth visit so it must be good! Perfect location and comfortable.

Miss E,

Seaton is a wonderful family friendly holiday cottage. The proximity to the beach and Seahouses means everything you need is a short walk away. The cottage is comfortable and welcoming. The mattress in the main bedroom was very comfortable - we slept like babies. The views across to the Farnes from the front bedrooms are beautiful. We also watched some amazing sunsets from the sitting room. The garden is enormous and the dogs just loved it. The garden is also fully enclosed and dog safe. We’ve stayed in cottages which have claimed this but found it not to be true. But the Seaton garden really is as described. Our two whippets made full use of it for zoomies! All in all a really good find and we will certainly consider booking again in the future.

Dr H,

The location of the house is fantastic as you have a very good view of the sea and islands. We have also seen dolphins on numerous occasions which is a bonus. The very large garden is excellent if you have dogs and or children. We found the house to be clean and reasonably well equipped.

Mr F,

The view as you arrive and look through the house to the sea is stunning. Views from main bedroom also exceptional. The enclosed area to the rear is excellent and secure for dogs and for parking although access around the neighbouring property is tight but manageable. Patio is lovely in the sun. Kitchen is well equipped in good working order and lots of crockery and cutlery. Great heating, Very clean and comfortable beds. The main bedroom and single rooms on first floor are great however the two upper rooms require careful negotiation of steep narrow stairs, I would not be comfortable with children or less able family members using these rooms. Location of the house is fabulous for beach and for access to the town centre. Lots of nearby walks and eating places.

Mrs T,

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,
