About Sand Castles

Sand Castles is a detached four-bedroom holiday property in Seahouses, a traditional fishing village on the Northumberland heritage coastline. Just 200 yards from the beach and sitting in a quiet cul-de-sac, this spacious home sleeps six and is well placed for exploring one of England's finest stretches of coastline. No hot tub, but the woodburner and enclosed garden make evenings genuinely comfortable.

Seahouses sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Boat trips to the Farne Islands leave from the nearby harbour. Bamburgh Castle is two miles north. Beadnell Bay's golden sands are two miles south. Pubs, restaurants, a golf course and tea rooms are all within a mile.

The property sleeps six across four bedrooms. The master bedroom has a kingsize bed and en-suite shower. Bedroom two has a double. Bedrooms three and four each have a single. There are two bathrooms and a separate ground-floor toilet. A snug provides extra living space.

Top nearby attractions: Farne Islands boat trips (0.3 miles, 2 mins), Bamburgh Castle (2 miles, 6 mins), Alnwick Garden (18 miles, 30 mins) and Holy Island/Lindisfarne (12 miles, 22 mins).

Sand Castles suits families and groups of friends. One well-behaved pet stays free. With parking for three cars, a woodburner and the beach on your doorstep, this is a solid base for a Northumberland break.
