Guests say

Seashells by the Sea is a well-received cottage in Newbiggin by the Sea, praised for its cleanliness, dog-friendly garden, and private hot tub. Guests appreciate the well-stocked kitchen, welcome basket, and the property's proximity to the beach and local amenities. While most feedback is positive, a few guests noted the location within a housing estate and one instance of perceived rudeness from the owners.

The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being clean and well-maintained.

The location is generally well-regarded for its proximity to the beach and local attractions, though a few guests noted it is on a busy estate, which affected the privacy and quietness for some.

Guests find the house comfortable, with several positive comments about the layout and furnishings. However, there were minor concerns about bed comfort and window ventilation in one room.

Facilities are highly rated, especially the hot tub and well-equipped kitchen. The garden is secure and appreciated by dog owners. Some minor suggestions for additional kitchen utensils and towels were made.

The thoughtfulness of the hosts is frequently mentioned, with guests loving the welcome basket and extra touches. It should be noted that such gifts, while common, are not guaranteed.

Seashells by the Sea has a private hot tub with gowns and slippers provided and is set just 850 yards from the seafront and promenade. Ideally located, Seashells by the Sea and Seashore Hideaway (UK10082) are just two doors away from eachother, perfect if there are two families or four couples. The property is situated to the rear of a residential area and backs onto fields. Newbiggin-by-the-Sea has a lovely sweeping bay with an uncrowded beach even in the height of summer. The village was once a thriving fishing village but only a few fishing cobbles set off early in the morning now. Set in the bay is The Couple, a sculpture designed by Sean Henry. At the end of the bay is the Maritime Centre housing the old lifeboat, which has a small gift area and cafe, and often has art exhibitions. The fabulous 18-hole cliff top golf course has lovely sea views and a bar with a pretty area for snacks. By prior arrangement, the owner can arrange a 50% discount for you on a round of golf.

The promenade stretches a mile and midway is a popular ice cream parlour. Nearby Woodhorn Museum often has children’s activities and exhibitions and houses the county archives should you wish to do a genealogy hunt. Only a few miles away is Druridge Bay and Cresswell with miles of empty beaches and the start of the Heritage Coastline. A little further takes you all the way up to Bamburgh and Holy Island, which is steeped in history. Of course Northumberland doesn’t just have a beautiful coastline, it also has a highly acclaimed international Dark Sky Park and a trip over to Kielder Water is certainly worth a visit taking in the rugged landscape. Don’t forget to visit Hadrians Wall over to the west, steeped in history, where some of the museums show the struggles in years gone by. The pretty market town of Morpeth, 8 miles, has plenty of shops, pubs and places to eat. When you return from your day exploring, sit and relax in the lovely private hot tub, which can be accessed from the outhouse and is covered by a wooden gazebo for full privacy. Beach 800 yards. Shop 300 yards, pub and restaurant 800 yards.

Seashells by the Sea can be booked together with Seashore Hideaway (UK10028) to accommodate upto 8 guests.

    Well worth what we paid will go back

    It's in the middle of a housing estate, I found the owners to be rude and arrogant.

  • Kathryn Bird

    Only a 15 minute walk to the beach and a lovely beach and walk it is. The hot tub was great in December. The house is well equipped and the owner put festive touches out for us which was a lovely thought. Safe garden area for our pooches. Great location to explore the north east. Would recommend.
