Seahouses holiday home

Pleasantly surprised by the accommodation. It really has the wow factor and provided everything we needed for a fantastic family break.The close proximity to the town and all its facilities was a bonus, we didn’t need to use our cars for the entire weekend enjoying the costal walks and cycling opportunities from the accommodation.

Excellent holiday

We’ve stayed in this property before and we enjoyed our stay again. There’s loads of room in the house, there are five big bedrooms and the kitchen is a great communal space. It’s well positioned in Seahouses, a very short walk to shops and the harbour.

Fantastic location and facilities

We visited in May for four days and could not have been more impressed with this fantastic accommodation. Everything we could possibly need had been provided and the décor and furnishings were lovely. The beds were incredibly comfortable, which after long days of exploring were very much appreciated. The area itself is beautiful with lots to do within easy reach. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

69th birthday celebration

Sail away was a beautiful spacious house within walking distance of all amenities in Seahouses. It was perfect for 5 couples. The kitchen was well equipped and we loved gathering around the large kitchen table. The log burner was great as we weren’t blessed with sunshine. Plenty off street parking too. Just perfect!

Fabulous break

Very impressed with Sail Away cottage, location very good, cleanliness exceptional, rooms large and airy, very well equipped. Would certainly recommend. Would return. Only issue is that VRBO had hot tub listed in amenities however the hot tub is actually at the local leisure centre, the owner has requested VRBO amend this.

Fabulous house for a family gathering

We went to Seahouses to celebrate my in laws golden wedding, there were 6 adults and 5 kids (8-15). The layout of the house was perfect, there was enough space inside and out for us all to be together without us feeling onbtop.of wach other. The location being just a stroll from the centre of Seahouses was so convenient. We were really lucky and had glorious sunshine spending the weekend on the beach. We all.had a lovely time and didn't want to come home!

Perfect

Came from america to spend time with English family, great place to get together. We had elderly parents so ground floor suite was perfect. Kitchen had everything including large pots to cook for crowd. Beds& bedding were very comfortable and rooms were large. Even had toys for 21 month old and the fenced yard was appreciated for her too. CoOp was very close, 1 min walk and everything else we needed was in easy walking distance. Wonderful vacation! And Elaine was very responsive to all my questions :)

Super House

We loved our stay, it was a comfortable house and there was plenty of space for everyone. The property was clean and tidy. There was everything we needed and more. The location was in nice area and only a few minutes walk to the centre of Seahouses. A great base for exploring the surrounding area as well. There was only two small things that we noticed, there was no shaver electrical sockets in any of the bathrooms and no shelves or caddy within the en-suite showers for your shampoo and shower gel etc. Not really a problem for most, but our family comprises of ages from 8 to 91, so bending down can be a bit of a problem. As I said, minor things. Overall the house was wonderful, spacious and comfortable and would definitely recommend it for a stay.

Brilliant

This place is worth every penny. We had a family of grandparents, parents and children (3,4,7) stay and it was brilliant. The location is fab, super quiet but a stones throw from the shops which was great as grandma can’t walk far. The house itself was huge. Plenty of space to play and relax. The outdoor area was brilliant for the kids to play and for me to sit in the sun with a coffee. The dining table was great and everything you needed in the big kitchen was there - not that we cooked anything but toast! Beds were super comfy, towels and linen were all great quality, and everything was super clean. I was surprised at how spacious all the bedrooms were. The boys loved the tubs of toys too. We even took the outdoor foldable beach chairs to the beach for the grandparents which was fab. Don’t hesitate. So good to have multiple bathrooms and a spacious place. Seashouses town is amazing too, we had a brilliant time and took a boat ride to see the puffins and visited Bamburgh castle.
