Overview
Property code: OC-GD1926

A family-friendly holiday home in the busy little fishing port of Seahouses. Ideal for couples or small families looking for a seaside break, there are plenty of activities to enjoy in the local area. You can even bring your dog along to enjoy some of the fantastic coastal walks. Take a boat trip to the Farne Islands (2.9 miles by ferry) to see over 100 different types of seabirds - if you’re lucky, you might even spot a colony of grey seals or a school of dolphins. Along the unspoiled Northumbrian Coastline, there are many places of interest to discover, including Bamburgh Castle (3.5 miles), Dunstanburgh Castle (10.5 miles) and Holy Island (18.8 miles). Leisure activities in the local area include fishing, cycling, boat trips, horse riding and golf.

This stone-built terraced cottage features a cosy lounge/dining area with comfortable seating, dining table, Smart TV and a wood burner. This is an inviting space to relax with family or friends, whether you want to watch a film, read a book or make plans for the next day's adventures. The bright, contemporary kitchen retains its original wooden beams and equipped with everything you’ll need, including a wine cooler. From the kitchen, there’s access to the shared courtyard garden. On the first floor, the king-size bedroom has a cosy wood burner-effect electric fire and a Smart TV, so it’s the perfect place to unwind after a busy day. The second bedroom is a twin room with two single beds and a Smart TV. Both of the bedrooms have character features, including exposed stone feature walls. The bedrooms are served by a contemporary bathroom with traditional wooden beams, brickwork and a freestanding bathtub with an overhead electric rainfall shower.

Lovely cottage in excellent location a few steps away from harbour and pub (can be some noise on weekends, but didnt bother us in January) and short walk to local Co-op and shops. Cottage is well equipped but not many basic provisions for cooking (tea, decaf coffee, sugar, salt and pepper provided).

Lovely cottage right in the middle of Seahouses. On street parking may be an issue but we parked outside 90% of the time. Pub across the road but this wasnt any bother.Cottage is tastefully decorated with a homely feel. Good facilities within. We were a family with a dog and this was a good choice for us and we would stay again.

Pros Really spacious & beautifully presented cottage Very clean & tidy & very close to the harbour & town centre Wood burner very useful, despite going in July! Very comfy bed in main bedroom Cons Parking is restricted & is on a first come first served basis. We managed to park our car on arrival, but there seems to be a lot of competition Read morefor spaces on this quiet road, with some people finding no spaces when returning from a day out There appeared to be no outside seating area designated to the property as advertised & indeed the outside area was very small & untidy. No basics like hand soap, shower gel, dishcloths were provided, so you need to bring these with you Hide

Lovely well decorated cottage and great that some logs are supplied but there are no instructions re the house so s bins not put out also no instructions on the hob which is difficult to work out if you are not used to convection hobs. The water pressure in the property is incredibly low and just dribbles out

This is genuinely a lovely cottage which I'm sad to see is up for sale; this is our second stay here. There are a few improvements I'd make, such as more cutlery and a better selection of glasses and oven dishes, but these are really minor details, and if not heeded would not spoil your stay. The location is FABULOUS but comes with a draw back overRead more the parking, some of which was most, most inconsiderate from others who were also on holiday. I think a "please leave space for residents of Samphire Cottage" sign, in the window, would not go a miss, although equally that would not be mandatory to abide by, but it really has been quite tricky at times. Would I stay here again? Yes, in a heartbeat. Is there room for improvement? I do think so. I do hope that any sale of this property still allows for a holiday let. It's genuinely lovely, and superbly placed, and we would absolutely go back. The communication from Original Cottages was also very good, but please allow for a 10:30 vacation of the property? Hide

Samphire Cottage is a beautiful little place and is well placed a stones throw from the harbour and town village centre. It is opposite 2 pubs whose patrons parked outside the cottage at times whilst we were there and I feel that this could be an issue in the high season so definitely something to be aware of. There is no coffee machine which I kRead morenow is not essential however would be a nice addition for those coffee snobs amongst us. The kitchen is otherwise lovely and well equipped with everything you would need. Dog owners need to be aware that the shared courtyard is not really dog friendly. You cannot just let them out to do their deeds as there are signs that other cottage owners have placed. This had a negative impact on us and we would not have booked had we known this. The two leather recliners were great and we channelled our inner Chandler & Joey on a couple of occasions which was a source of great amusement!! Best beach is Beadnell a couple of miles away it's great for the woofs too! Hide

You should have stated that dogs were not allowed in the bedrooms. Dogs were not free. You have a booking fee . The cottage had no instructions for the hob. The towel rail was switched on in the bedroom should have been advised. There was no means of protecting the polished table from hot plates. Most other properties had no parking signs outside.

Great situation close to everything. Parking was no problem during our week and great walks near the golf course for the dog. Seahouses is very central for touring the area, and the main place for boat tours to the Islands. nearbye a wonderful fish shop which had fresh fish every day, and in the village great pubs.

The overall quality of the interior was high, however the utensils in the kitchen were very poor quality and let the overall standard of the cottage down. The bathroom was great but the water ran cold for 2 days and had very low pressure so unable to wash hair or use, what was a great bath.
