Butcher's Retreat Reviews

Great property. Plenty of space large rooms .Located at the end of seahouses main street . You need a potato masher ant the peeler needs replacing. Loved it
This was our second time staying at The Butcher's Retreat and we would definitely recommend it. The accommodation is spotlessly clean, the facilities are excellent and the location is great. Thanks for another great stay
Fab place, would definitely recommend, great to be close to shops and places to eat, plenty of choice, a good place to be a base to visit other places in. Northumberland, would stay again, plenty of room for 5 adults and 2 dogs xx
A great cottage in a great location. Comfortable and well equipped. Great hallway space where you can leave coats and boots. Downstairs toilet. Excellent wifi. Would stay again. Minor negatives for us, no door on main bedroom en suite and light on power button on bathroom mirror very bright we hung a dressing gown over it, no hooks on bedroom doors. Cottage is a very short walk to shops on Seahouses main street, 1 minute to the local butchers, which also sells hot filled rolls, pies, and ready meals, 1 minute to an Italian restaurant. Things to be aware of the outside sitting space is a small secure gated fenced off area in a shared yard access to and parking in the yard is easy with a smaller car good mobile reception for O2 and Vodafone local coop 5 minutes walk harbour and boat trips to Farnes 10 minutes walk beach miles of sand and coastal path 15 minutes walk Seahouses is very dog friendly.
It was a lovely clean cottage, our one complaint was that we had no control over the heating system, I get up around 530am and the heating did not come on until 8am so was very cold,equally we had some lovely weather and could not turn the heating off when we wanted to. I have never stay in a cottage b4 where we could not control the heating.
The property was spacious, warm and well equipped. The only negative is the 9am departure, this just made the end of the holiday feel rushed. It felt like you were being swept out the door. Such a shame, as it was very welcoming at the start.
Angelina
Really nice location tucked away from the Main Street, but still within distance of everything on foot within Seahouses. lovely house with plenty of space, a couple of down points was that it is very cold in there the radiators are WiFi controlled so we couldnt change them. There was a strange smell as you first walk through the door and also when you walk out of the door which appeared to be drifting from next door. A bit disappointing that we lost 2 days of our holiday due to not being able to check in while 4pm and then had to check out at 9am.
Gillian
Butchers Retreat is a lovely property with all the essentials for a holiday home. It is clean and spacious and close to all the village amenities. Seahouses is a beautiful village with nice independent shops, plenty of places to eat and close to other villages and towns within a short walk or drive. Both village and Butchers Retreat are dog friendly which is ideal with having 2 Cocker Spaniels. I would highly recommend staying at Butchers Retreat when holidaying in Seahouses.
This was a late booking but we were so pleased with the house which provided us ...
