This 1-bedroom cottage is a beautifully converted one-storey stone property on the edge of Seahouses in Northumberland. Once a working stable, it has been renovated to a high standard while keeping original features intact. Vaulted ceilings and exposed wooden beams give it a genuinely rustic feel that's hard to find elsewhere. It sits right on the edge of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Seahouses is just 1 mile away with shops, pubs and the famous harbour. Bamburgh is 3 miles down the road. The coastline here is spectacular, with wide sandy beaches, sea views and open countryside in every direction.

The cottage sleeps 2 as standard with a sofa bed for a third guest. The super-king-size zip-and-link bed can be split into twins on request. There's a family bathroom with shower over bath. The open-plan living space features a wood burner and underfloor heating throughout.

Farne Islands boat trips leave from Seahouses harbour, famous for grey seals and puffins. Bamburgh Castle is 3 miles away (8 minutes). Alnwick Castle is around 16 miles north (25 minutes). Dunstanburgh Castle ruins are roughly 8 miles south (15 minutes).

This getaway suits couples or solo travellers wanting a proper Northumberland base. Original features and a great location make this an easy choice.
