Is Wamses Retreat Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Wamses Retreat sleeps two adults only and is not designed for families with children. The harbourfront location, balcony and open-plan layout suit couples best. The Farne Islands boat trips and nearby beach would appeal to older children but the apartment itself has no child-specific facilities.
For Couples
Wamses Retreat is built for two. The balcony bistro set, wall-to-wall sea-view windows and double bedroom with window seat all set a strong scene for a romantic break. Farne Islands boat trips, coastal walks to Bamburgh Castle and al fresco dining on the balcony make for a genuinely memorable couple's trip on the Northumberland coast.
Pet Friendly
Wamses Retreat does not accept pets. Dogs are not permitted at this property. Guests travelling with animals will need to look at alternative accommodation in the Seahouses area. The harbourfront location and apartment access via steps also make it unsuitable for most animals.
