The Old Cart Shed is a traditional stone-built cottage in Northumberland, just 1.5 miles from Seahouses. High vaulted ceilings and exposed beams give the open-plan lounge kitchen diner real character. French doors open from a large gable window straight onto the south-facing patio garden. Modern comforts sit alongside the original stonework throughout. Note: this property does not have a hot tub.

Seahouses is a working harbour town with boat trips to the Farne Islands. Bamburgh Castle is 3 miles away. Beadnell Bay is 4 miles and offers water sports. Dog-friendly pubs and restaurants are easy to find nearby.

The cottage sleeps 4 across two bedrooms. Bedroom one has a super-king bed with en-suite shower and WC. Bedroom two has a king-size zip-and-link bed that converts to twin 2'6" beds on request with Jack-and-Jill access to the family bathroom.

Bamburgh Castle (3 miles, 8 mins), Farne Islands boat trips from Seahouses Harbour (1.5 miles, 5 mins), Grace Darling Museum in Bamburgh village (3 miles, 8 mins) and Beadnell Bay (4 miles, 10 mins) are all close.

The Old Cart Shed suits couples and small families wanting easy access to Northumberland's coast. Underfloor heating, a wood burner and a welcome pack make arrival easy.
