About this property
Converted from a traditional boathouse, The Boathouse enjoys a superb setting right next to the picturesque harbour in Seahouses, Northumberland and is the perfect location for a family holiday. The accommodation is arranged over the first-floor which helps to maximise those beautiful sea views. The sitting area is warm and welcoming with extensive seating positioned beneath a feature vaulted ceiling and with a nautical theme to the décor, the property exudes coastal vibes. Step into the small but perfectly formed kitchen area which has everything that’s needed to whip up delicious food for the whole family, with the adjoining dining area all set up ready for sociable family meals together. With the choice of two double bedrooms and a single and a family bathroom to complete the accommodation, there is also a convenient shower in the garage, ideal for when you’ve been at the beach all day! Talking of the beach, The Boathouse is ideally situated close to the sandy beaches at Seahouses with the village itself well worth a visit, offering a good variety of shops and eateries. You can catch a boat from here to Farne Islands where you can look out for birds and seals. Jump in the car and head out to attractions such as Bamburgh Castle, Alnwick Castle and Gardens, Dunstanburgh Castle, Northumberland Country Zoo, Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre and Hadrian’s Wall. Activities to look forward to while you’re in the region include golf at Alnmouth, horse-riding at Slate Hall Riding Centre and surfing at Bamburgh Castle Beach. The Boathouse offers a delightful, coastal holiday home-from-home where happy holiday memories will be made.
A bustling, pretty fishing village with an attractive harbour, situated on the beautiful Northumbrian coast in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Seahouses offers a variety of shops and a good selection of inns, pubs and eating places. Nearby are miles and miles of splendid sandy beaches and the opportunity to visit the bird sanctuary or seal colony on the famous Farne Islands with boat trips running daily from Seahouses, is not to be missed. There are numerous castles and great houses to explore, such as the magnificent castles at Bamburgh, Cragside, and Alnwick (home of the Duke of Northumberland), to mention just a few. Golf, fishing and riding are also available locally.

It was very comfortable to stay in, sofa and beds were a dream and rare find from past experiences. We had a power cut which was a problem outside. The owner was great and kept us up to date with what was happening. The problem was resolved very quickly. It was a great base to visit Bamburgh, Beadnell Berwick and Alnwick. A bonus to this accommodation was a washing machine and dryer which was brilliant with young kids. The garage also for off road parking was perfect. It is great walking distance to the shops and pubs.

We've stayed at the Boathouse on two previous occasions, albeit a few years ago. We find it very comfortable and like the location. Also, on balance good value for the price. There have been some improvements since our last stay, particularly in the bedrooms. A negative point before but much better now. My only disappointment with the place is the shower. Please upgrade! All in all a nice break in a pleasant cottage. We will definitely book again next year. Hopefully the building over the road will have been finished. Noise and parking a nuisance.
