Perfect cottage in a perfect location. Very close to the harbour and a short walk to the shops. The cottage was very clean and we had a lovely welcome gift of milk, tea, coffee and wine. The owners have thought of everything to make it a home from home. I would definitely go back.
Andrew
Beautiful cottage in an ideal location for the harbour,shops, pubs and restaurants and for walking to numerous different places. Parking was a bit tight but nothing can be done about that, as the name suggests, it's down a ginnel.
Josephine
It felt like home the minute you walked in.
Brian
Very pleased with cottage ideal for my wife and I itâ??s a pity outside space was open to all the cottages I thought out back was enclosed but it wasnâ??t but saying that all shops etc were within a few minutes walk and I would recommend to friends and family
Stuart
The cottage was ideally situated for Seahouses Harbour and the cottage is well described and therefore a very comfortable place to stay. The little extras that are left (Tea/Coffee/milk/wine etc) are lovely touch and very welcome. Equipment and utensils are in good condition and therefore caters for all your needs. Many thanks for a great break, the Northumberland coast is great to explore and we will definitely be back.
Trevor
Lovely cottage in an ideal location. Everything you need and will definitely stay there again
Karl

John
Our third time staying here and still brilliant, ideal location and very comfortable. Everything you would need to make you feel at home
Denise
A very enjoyable and comfortable stay at Ginnell Cottage with everything we needed supplied plus quite a few extras, such as a welcome bottle of wine, biscuits, and more. We appreciated the location, so close to the harbour and coastal walks. We took our two small dogs and it all worked well with them, the only thing I would point out is that the immediate outside space is not enclosed, which dog owners might like to be aware of.
Angela
The cottage is in an ideal position, close to the beach and the town. There are plenty of restaurants and pubs within walking distance so everything you need is right on your doorstep.
John
A lovely, cozy clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage in a fantastic location.
Fiona
Would recommend
Keith
Lovely, comfortable cottage located very close to the harbour in Seahouses but the cottage itself is set along a small lane with housing between you & the sea so there is no view.
Craig
Lovely cottage very central to all amenities, highly recommend.
