Comfortable. Everything up to a high standard.
This was my first break away since the loss of my beloved husband, Ray. We have revisited places which held special memories, which has been wonderful. More importantly, we have had an opportunity to create more special memories in this beautiful house. My 5 daughters and I have explored the beautiful area, played games and laughed so much during these past few days, which has been such a tonic for us all. The house is like home from home! So comfortable and everything to such a high standard. You have put so much love and thought into everything. Tank you so so much.

Wonderful stay
We all had a lovely holiday here, including the dogs. The seaside was beautiful, specially at sunset. We went to Holy Island and saw seals and puffins. It was awesome! I also recommend booking at The Jolly Fisherman. Thank the owner for a wonderful stay at their beautiful house.

Wonderful weekend
Beautiful and welcoming holiday home. We arrived to mil in the fridge and a wonderfully clean house - it did not stay that way! We had a lovely weekend with lovely weather. Did the boat trip from sea houses, saw lots of puffins and the seals were fascinating. Recommend taking a jumper though. Thank you for a wonderful weekend with lots of special memories.

A superb stay
The house is just beautiful, so comfortable with a real home from home feel. Love the location and easy access to many places to visit. Just love all the extra touches in the house, so thoughtful, and the goody bag was a lovely surprise. The beds were so comfy so we've had a relaxing, fun and thoroughly enjoyable stay - we will definitely return.

Beautiful home
Thank you for providing a beautiful home for a wonderful long weekend. The Jolly Fisherman was so good, we had to go twice! The Potted Lobster was great for a long Saturday lunch. A weekend full of walking, talking, eating and drinking. Great family time and we hope to be back.

The best holiday home in Northumbria!
This was our 4th Northumbrian holiday and Seaside Cottage is by far the best holiday home we have stayed in. Warm, cosy, and well appointed.

Perfect
8 of us stayed here for a delayed Christmas getaway. The house was perfect and lovely and cosy, despite two storms going on outside. Love the nice touches like the coasters and the basket of goodies. The house is on a quiet street and was plenty big enough for us all. The house has everything you would need and it was nice to have better than bog standard towels, crockery, wine glasses etc, and plenty of them too. Location is great for coastal walks, beaches, castles, food and the parking for two cars to get in and out easily.

Lovely house
We had a wonderful stay at Seaside Cottage. Lovely house, 2 minutes from the ancient cliffs of Craster and Dunstanburgh. Love this area of Northumberland, stunning beaches, pretty villages, great pubs and ancient castles! Finally home after months of lockdown and Seaside Cottage could not of been better! Brand new, well decorated, comfortable and great facilities. We would love to stay again. The pub in the village, The Jolly Fisherman serves wonderful food and the fish and chip pop up is a great addition.

This is such a great holiday house
Location could not get any better. There is a 2 minute walk to all local amenities and in particular the Jolly Fisherman, it's a must for food.
The walks along the coast are amazing. On our walk to Dunstanburgh Castle we saw a pod of dolphins swimming off the coast.
The house is exactly what we expected and more. The garden to the back is a great sun trap and the bi fold doors that open up onto it make it a perfect extension to the house.
The living room is very cosy for a perfect relaxed evening after long walks if the Jolly Fisherman doesn't take your fancy for drinks.
All in all it's the perfect base in a perfect location.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
