Seahouses sits within the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering breathtaking beaches, dramatic cliffs, and unforgettable sunsets. Just steps from the village, guests can enjoy miles of coastal paths ideal for walking, cycling, and wildlife spotting.

Nearby, the medieval Bamburgh Castle towers over the coast, just a short drive or scenic walk away. A little further afield lies Alnwick Castle, famed for its role in Harry Potter and Downton Abbey. History buffs will also appreciate the area's ties to early Christian history and Viking invasions.

The village itself offers a selection of traditional pubs, fish and chip shops, and cosy cafés. Guests can sample freshly caught seafood or take a stroll along the harbour with an ice cream in hand.
