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.
