  The plus points first. Harbour Hideaway is in a fantastic location in Seahouses. Very handy for all the lovely local amenities. The convenient parking space is right outside the property. The decor is modern and the layout well thought out. For the size it is well equipped, the combined microwave is a larger model. We found the sofa bed to be comfortable and easy to convert from sofa to a bed. The views from the property are beautiful, with lovely walks along the coast. However, Harbour Hideaway is very small, once the sofa bed is made up, you can only just walk around it. The main space, not including the front door recess is app 2.3 metres, (less 40cm for the kitchen run, approx 1.9 metres) by 3.2 metres approx. There is a small recess for the front door. We found damp and high levels of humidity to be a problem and have provided the owner with photos. Thankfully we had lovely weather because it would be difficult drying wet coats, shoes and walking coats in such a confined space. There is very little storage space and we had to leave rucksacks, walking shoes and jackets in the car. All bedding and towels are provided but there were only two pillows, for two people. There is not room in the sofa bed storage for all the bedding, we had to leave a pillow out during the day. We stayed for five nights and found it a little challenging because of the lack of space and lack of storage.

  Beach Plaice is such a modern, clean, spacious, convenient, simply excellent family holiday home in all respects. Although it does not directly face the sea / beach / Islands (being set behind a row of sea-facing houses) it does have a clear view of the sea from the kitchen window. There is ample driveway parking at the front of the house and a very pleasant garden area with outdoor seating provided at the rear, facing onto fields and further countryside, which can all be viewed for a long distance and without obstruction from the upstairs bedroom windows. The house is within fairly short walking distance of the beach, and just a little further for the shops and harbour (both are within ten minutes) and I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending the property for a peaceful, enjoyable, restful Northumberland holiday. I would add that I have found Stay Northumbria Northumberland Cottages to be a very professional and extremely helpful company to deal with throughout my holiday planning and preparations for arrival etc.

  The gate for pedestrians operated to come in but not to go out.

  We had to use the main gates to go for a walk. These gates stayed open for some time therefore security was reduced. The dining table could only be used for 4 because of the size of the kitchen. Luckily there were only 2 of us the kitchen was well equipped. The beds were comfortable. The lounge chairs were very uncomfortable and lacked support. The heating would have taken a long time to get warm according to the instructions. Fortunately it was warm when we were there. The parking place number in the instruction binder was 8 it should have been 4. The main instruction binder was not in line with the 2 lots of instructions hanging in the kitchen. 1 lot was for arriving and the second lot was for leaving. We would not book this apartment again.

  Excellent clean and comfortable property with high standards of equipment. Plenty of space including the en-suites for the bedrooms. Fixtures and fittings modern and kitchen was well equipped with large fridge/freezer. Good parking on front drive and enclosed rear garden with patio and views to open fields. Only minutes walk to sandy beach that stretches for miles towards Bamburgh. The sandy beach and sea is excellent water quality with no plastic or debris to be seen. Seahouses is around 5 minutes walk to harbour and shops/takeaways etc..We stayed mid May just after Covid restrictions were eased so area was not to busy and roads quiet. Overall lovely holiday and would recommend.

  Firstly, Thank you so much for the wonderful welcome basket and the treats for the dog. It was such a lovely welcome after a long and often slow journey. The cottage is amazing with everything you could wish for and more. It is out first time in Northumberland and we’ve been lucky with the glorious weather – we’ve enjoyed our walks on your amazing beaches, eaten lots of crab sandwiches, loved the spectacular scenery, and then coming back here for a G&T in the garden. Perfect. Sad to be leaving. Thank you Andre & Ken.(Recommend boat trip with Billy Shiels – we went on the 2hr puffin cruise and saw dolphins, seals, puffins and more. It was amazing and good information too.)
