There is a shop and two pubs that serve food conveniently located in this charming seaside location. Just over a mile away is Seahouses with its wider choice of restaurants and shops including a supermarket, and boat trips that run from the harbour to the spectacular birdlife haven of the Farne Islands. Bamburgh and the market town of Alnwick with its impressive castle and gardens, shops, pubs and restaurants is an easy drive away.

Great location. Quite at night. Safe for children. Access ok unless driving a sports car. Minus points. No welcome pack. Dirty & cracked pottery & corner cupboard very damp & smelly. No spare loo rolls or dishwasher tabs. Which I suspect was why plates & bowls were not clean. No under sheets on childrens beds! Hot water ran out by night. With better checking it could be ok.

The house has everything you could possibly need for a lovely relaxing holiday. The front garden has a great choice of furniture for you to make the most of the sun trap. The back garden is a lovely grassed area with the added benefit of being able to park right out side the house. The unexpected bonus was being able to watch the wild rabbits frolicking. We had a lovely time with our young granddaughter and cannot wait to come back.
