About this property

Gorgeous cosy Fisherman's cottage in Seahouses, Northumberland

Traditional Fisherman's cottage set in a lovely, quiet cobbled square very close to the harbour and beach. Recently renovated to a very high standard. The cottage has original stone walls in the kitchen and living room. Lovely large kitchen for all of the family. It has 3 bedrooms (1 double, 1 bunk bed with full size single beds and 1 twin room with 2 single beds). It benefits from wifi and net flix. Parking space for 1 car directly outside the cottage. Dogs allowed.
Out of season/non-major holiday periods, we accept booking for the following dates: Friday to Monday (3 nights) or Monday to Fridays (4 nights). The daily rates have been worked out on this basis. However, if you need greater flexibility, hopefully we can accommodate you and work out a price based on a mix of weekend and week day rates. If you would like to stay for 1 week or longer out of season/non-major holidays, please enquire about the price because we will apply a generous discount - we will not merely add the mid-week and weekend price together. During holiday periods, the price is based on staying 1 full week (Saturday to Saturday) and is therefore already discounted from the daily rates. Thank you.

Stayed with family and a dog. Lovely cottage. Very clean & tidy with everything we needed. Excellent location, right in the centre of town with easy walks to really great pubs / restaurants and beautiful sandy beaches. Yes, the turn into the square is a little bit tight but we were in a large 4x4 and managed it easily. Great communication with a very helpful host with quick replies. Highly recommended.

Lovely getaway

Great renovation of an old sea cottage. Spacious, spotlessly clean, quiet and nicely positioned nearby the harbour, fishing boats and boat trip to Farne Islands. Only a few metres walk to seats overlooking the harbour and to fish and chips/icecreams/hot donuts. We were very happy with Seahouses and would not hesitate to stay again.

Pleasant stay

Pleasant stay. Clean house and a good location. Puffin and seal cruise is a must. Beach is walkable. Recommend the Black Swan nearby for food and also the potted lobster in Bamburgh. Need to book well in advance for the Potted Lobster! The seafood van between Seahouses and Bamburgh is great too.

Very clean.

It was cleaned to a very high standard which we appreciated. Was disappointed that sofa collapsed on the first day because it was supported by blocks of wood etc which had moved. We missed having a view.
Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2018
Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar, 2020
Hi Sarah I’m very disappointed by your review and it is very unfair. Previous guests broke the sofa and they tried to fix it. The sofa was expensive. As soon as you pointed out the sofa was damaged, my father the very next day fixed it, so you could not tell. We went above and beyond to deal with your complaint. The cottage has a view into the cobbled square and our advert does not say it had a view across the sea. Our other cottage, Salty Kisses, does have the amazing view you wanted. Regards Dawn

ideally located cottage, a real home from home

First impressions on entering the property were how clean everything looked and smelled. It is in an ideal location, right next to Seahouses harbour, and a short walk to the beach and also to local shops, pubs and restaurants. We did have to contact the owner, Dawn, on one occasion in relation to the heating but Dawn answered immediately and the issue was quickly resolved. The weather was not great unfortunately but we still managed some nice walks and a boat trip to the Farne Islands, which I would heartily recommend.

Pleasant stay

Overall a pleasant stay. Great location for easy walk into Seahouses which has some lovely bars and restaurants and nice little shops. Close to the coastal path walk and harbour. Property overall including linen and bedding were all very clean and comfortable. No issues with wifi and owner was very responsive to messages. My only wee negative was that crockery and cutlery wasn’t very clean so had to wash it all when we arrived. With such a large kitchen shame there isn’t a dishwasher.

Great Location and facilities?

No towels except 1 hand towel. No Netflix, no BBC 1 except through iPlayer. Very noisy as a family with 3 children and a dog in accommodation above.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Aug, 2023
Hi Geoff, I’m disappointed with your comments. We pay for Netflix and it was there you just couldn’t find it and you never called me to ask. The cleaner said she left 1 large towel and 1 small towel per person staying which is acceptable. I accept no extra large bath towel but the large towel is big enough. You never contacted me about the family staying at no. 10 otherwise I would have called them and asked them to keep the noise down. Thanks for giving us 4 stars and it’s a shame you didn’t list all the positives of your stay. Best wishes Dawn

Beautiful, well equipped home from home

We have just returned from a week-long stay in this lovely location. It is situated just around the corner from the harbour and had everything we needed for a relaxing and peaceful getaway. My only criticism would be that it advertised a DVD player (and I had brought along several DVDs which we were looking forward to watching) and, although there was indeed a player, it had the wrong connection for the TV and we were therefore unable to use it. Otherwise a wonderful stay. Thank You.

Hi Ann Many thanks for your lovely review and I’m very sorry about the DVD player and I’ll certainly look into changing the cable. Best wishes Dawn

Great location

We’ve had a lovely week, great location, everything you could possibly need in the house. It was clean and spacious. Parking was a bit of a problem, our space was also someone else’s space and it was very congested in there, but for us it was ok as my parents were staying in the opposite courtyard so we parked there instead. We chatted with our neighbour and came to that agreement so all good. A lovely property and would highly recommend.

Hi Jeni Thanks for the great review. I wish you had called me about your space. The cottage has one allocated space immediately outside the cottage saying Sandy Toes parking and so no one else should have parked here. I’m sorry you moved but the space was legally yours. Glad you still enjoyed. Best wishes Dawn x

The cottage was so clean and so very well equipped. Very pretty and comfortable. It was so close to the harbour and the people around so very friendly.

We’ve had Sky out now on numerous occasions about the wifi and there was a fault on the Open Reach line which they are dealing with - I’m sorry when you were there the wifi was not great. No private garden but lovely courtyard immediately outside and less than 1 minute to beach and harbour for dogs. Thanks. Dawn x

Cosy courtyard property

Perfect location for easy access to the harbour, seaside and shops/bars. Quietly situated within a cosy courtyard with no town noises, despite being very close to all the amenities. Hosts were very easy to speak with and quick to be in touch if any issues arose.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn McIntosh

Host profile image
My husband and I purchased the cottage in 2014 and we started to holiday let it in August 2015. The cottage required complete renovation and this has been carried out to a high standard. We enjoy using the cottage ourselves and therefore wanted to make it feel home from home. We have two young boys, Aaron (12) and Isaac (10) who love the sea, to swim in the harbour and surf. Seahouses is a gorgeous and relaxing place, and as a family we adore it.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this cottage because of its location - it is set in an old cobbled square very near to the harbour. The cottage is about 160 years old and full of character.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits of the cottage are the location. It is very close to the harbour, small village shops, pubs and restaurants.
