At the front of the property you are only a stone’s throw from the sea, this bay is popular on calm days with paddleboarders, as well as being a fun spot to bodyboard when there are waves. From the house take a stroll along the 1½ mile promenade and follow the signposted history trail or make your way to the marina which is surrounded by a mix of bistros, bars, cafes and restaurants. There are many wonderful attractions nearby, including Saltholme rspb Reserve where rich bird life and seals can be spotted, the National Glass Centre at Sunderland for a day out with a difference, as well as Summerhill nature reserve and outdoor play centre. The National Museum of the Royal Navy in Hartlepool’s Harbour is a must. For the more active, the National Cycle Network Route 14 can be found in the local town and takes you all the way to Seaham, while the North York Moors National Park is well-worth venturing to. As this is such a huge historical property it is gradually being restored to its former glory in stages, you are staying in a little slice of Hartlepool’s past. Beach 160 yards.

We had a great stay at Harbour View👍 The rear parking area of the property definitely needs some tlc and tidying up and is quite off putting as the first impression you get- once inside the property it is very welcoming and absolutely huge which you don’t appreciate from the pictures- very well equipped everything we needed was there- we were greeted by the host who was very helpful and advised he was available for any issues which we happily didn’t have- properly was very clean and warm

This was our second visit to Harbour View the location is amazing on 2 of the days we were able to see a mother and baby harbour porpoise coming in past the Pilot Pier to explore. It’s such a spacious property that guests are not under each other’s feet. We were there to celebrate my 60th birthday and invited my friends and family round for tea, still plenty of space! My grandchildren have nicknamed it their holiday house. We will definitely return, even though we were extremely lucky with the Easter weather and mabaged a very brief swim in the sea, our next booking will be for a summer break.
