"A lovely, cosy home with comfy beds and good facilities."
Only slight downside was the lack of parking at the house, but I suspect this is mot uncommon in the area because of the narrow streets and large number of visitors to the area. However, this was more than made up for by the provision of a parking permit for use in the big carpark in Seahouses as well as many other carparks in Northumberland, and we made good use of this during our visit. Seahouses itself is a lovely village with several excellent places to eat and drink, our favourite being the Olde Ship Inn which is just a few minutes walk away from the house. We would

"A perfect winter stay."
We had a great time in this lovely cottage. Like a home from home in a perfect location near to the amenities and the beach. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

"Lovely cottage in a great seaside village."
We visited out of season and enjoyed the cosy cottage and wealth of bracing coastal walks.
-
"This was our 2nd visit and we will return again."
The location is perfect with pubs, fish & chip shops and grocery shops within walking distance of the cottage. We took advantage of the parking permit left in the cottage which gave us free parking in the station yard car park, which was a godsend. Lovely homely cottage which was beautifully warm when we arrived on a cold Sunday afternoon. Well stocked kitchen, dishwasher and washer dryer very welcome. Thank you for a lovely few days

"Lovely property, very well equipped kitchen and comfortable living area for 6."
The cottage is situated very centrally in Seahouses making it convenient to visit the shops and restaurants, as well as good access to sightseeing destinations in the area. As there is no on-site parking it was great that the parking permit was provided, with the car parks not far away, but I'd suggest making it clearer in the property description that there is no on-site parking (but that the permit will allow parking for 1 car in the council car parks, without cost). One other thing - we were surprised to have to strip our own beds upon leaving - the first time we've been asked to do that. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you very much.

"Comfortable well situated cottage."
Great for exploring the local area.
-
"Great stay, brilliant location and very well equipped property and well maintained."
-
"Lovely holiday in a lovely cottage."
Really close to the harbour and the shops. Parking wasn’t a problem in the public car park which is a two minute walk away. The cottage is very spacious and comfortable and the owners were very attentive and helpful when we needed them for a small issue.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay, the cottage was well equipped and very comfortable."
The only thing that will put us off visiting again is there being no space to park car.

"Fisherman's Cottage was a lovely place to stay for our family holiday."
It's more spacious than it looks, and the bedrooms are a really good size. We loved the super king bed! And there's plenty of storage in the rooms. The lounge area is comfortable and the kitchen had most things we needed. A few minor annoyances such as the draining board doesn't fit and so either blocks the tap or leaks on to the unit. The guest information folder is quite out of date, some things have changed now. The heating also seemed to be set to 21° and could only be turned down for a few hours at a time which seemed unnecessary in the summer and we were too hot! (The Magic TV remote battery is getting low too.) It's such a gorgeous location though, so close to the harbour. And we really, really enjoyed being there.

"Comfortable cottage in a great location, nicely furnished and well equipped."
Easy to park right outside for dropping off luggage, then we parked on James Street (unrestricted street parking) which is closer than the council car park and was mentioned in the information pack in the cottage. Parking permit and disc provided were useful for car parks when visiting other places in the area - we didn't pay to park anywhere all week. Our only suggestions would be: blackout blinds in the bedrooms, a hairdryer, and a proper clothes airer - there is a very flimsy one provided which can't hold much in the way of washing or beach towels.
-
"A comfortable old cottage in a convenient position in Seahouses."
It has 3 spacious bedrooms and a well equipped kitchen. No parking, but there is a parking voucher to use. Unfortunately there isn't any outside space to sit. We will return again to Fishermans Cottage, as we enjoyed our stay.
-
"A delightful holiday cottage."
-
"We really enjoyed our holiday in Fisherman's Cottage."
It was comfortable, clean, well equipped and in a great location. We will certainly book this cottage again.

"First impressions were the same as my last impression as I locked up " lovely cottage but very tired looking needs a touch up in places"."
We did have a lovely stay here and the cottage did grow on me, parking situation was a nightmare you have to park in council carpark 5/8 minute walk away,they do provide a parking permit for one car but we had travelled in 2 this cost us an additional £70. Upstairs was lovely no real complaints, beds were comfortable.kitchen was well equipped. The problem is the sofa and carpet really old and tired looking to the point of looking dirty definitely ready for replacing. My other niggle is being left a list of things to do upon leaving, we always leave our rentals as we find them dispose of all rubbish,empty cupboards and fridges etc etc,i don't actually mind placing all towels in the bath that's fine but I do have problem with stripping all the beds I personally see that as the job of who ever is responsible for cleaning once the paying customer has left the price I pay for a week am sure includes the price of a clean once we have left. Wouldn't return to this cottage but mainly for the parking issue.
-
"Lovely warm cosy cottage, a stones throw from the harbour."
Very comfortable with a high standard of linen and fluffy towels, constant supply of very hot water and all you could need. Great to have parking permit supplied! Highly recommended ☺️
-
"We had a lovely stay at this cottage, very comfortable, warm and spotlessly clean."
Location is excellent for walking to the harbour, beach and shops without needing the car, and for day trips out along the coast. Parking Permit more than made up for parking in the village car park, probably saving us £40 at least on parking through the week on days out.
-
"Lovely cottage, great location, cosy."
Short walk to the public carpark where we could use the cottage parking permit. Easy to park on the doorstep temporarily to drop suitcases etc. Lovely harbour, great walks nearby, shops close by and fabulous takeaways. We have already recommended it to others.
-
"Warm, cosy cottage perfect for a getaway."
Well equipped, clean and a perfect location for town's restaurants and beach walks. We will return xx
-
"Fantastic location, contact with the owner was spot on, nice cottage, ideally could do with a mat at the back door."
-
"Property was in good location and good base, thought it was good value and suited us well."
Had to park a couple minute walk away but that was fine and not an issue at all.
-
"Beautiful cottage in a perfect place."
-
"Good sized property in a great location."
-
"Great location lovely cottage"
-
"A beautiful quiet cottage in an excellent location."
We had a really lovely stay . Don’t be put off by the no parking outside, as there’s a permit for the public car park a 5 minute walk away, which you can use in various car parks up and down. Seahouses is a great base for exploring although the beaches on your doorstep are superb.
-
"A lovely cottage in an excellent location."
5 minutes walk to the town centre. Plenty to see and do in the area - nice walks, boat trips and local pubs to visit. Or just sit by the harbour and relax with fish & chips or an ice cream .... or have both ... you're on your holidays! I will definitely return to Fishermans cottage. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay.
-
"Our 3rd visit."
Lovely spacious cottage,comfy beds,we find the settees a little soft but not detured us from 3 visits .nice to have a parking disc left.thank you.just a short stroll from the harbour .we would always stay here when coming to seahouses.biscuits and milk a nice touch.
-
"We absolutely loved our stay at Fisherman's Cottage."
..the location is superb! Just 2-3 minute walk to the sea & 5 min to town with its lovely little independent shops & delis & lots of places to eat & drink. We took the boat over to the Farne Islands & saw puffins, seals & a whole host of sea birds with our very knowledgeable guides. We walked to Beadnell & Bamburgh on the coast path & took short drives to Holy Island, Alnwick & Cragside. You can't park outside the cottage but we unloaded & loaded there then parked in the main town car park using our free pass (which we used on every trip we made!) - so don't let that put you off! Every day we came back to the comfortable, clean and well equipped cottage that we would absolutely return too. Fabulous.

"This was our second year running at the Fishermans Cottage."
We used it as a base for our walking, of which this coastline and surrounding area are fantastic for. The cottage is comfortable, clean and very homely. You have all the facilities you need, everything is well presented and the added bonus of a parking permit which allows you free parking in the town centre car park. All the shops, pubs and restaurants and the boat harbour are within a 5 minute walk. I thoroughly recommend the Bamburgh castle pub, the kippers from the smokehouse just around the corner and a boat ride to the Farne Islands from the harbour.
-
"Perfect holiday home!"
No faults at all. We will be returning. The parking is not ideal and might put some people off but please dont let it. The main car park is only a short walk and you are able to unload and pack up car in street no bother.
-
"Fishermans Cottage is a lovely, cosy place to stay."
Well equipped with comfortable furnishings and beds. It’s in the old part of Seahouses, so no outside space (not an issue in winter) and no parking but you can unload and there’s a parking permit for the main carpark. Would recommend and would stay again.
-
"Comfortable clean and cosy cottage close to the town centre and seafront."
Big plus was the parking permit.
-
"Lovely cottage very comfortable."
Only let down by a leaking toilet and tap and no parking.
-
"Fantastic cottage with everything we needed."
Very comfortable. Great location for exploring the area.
-
"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the fisherman’s cottage, almost everything was perfect."
Only complaints were the creaking staircase at the top of the stairs and the walk to the car park.
-
"This was a lovely property for our family holiday."
The property was larger than the pictures suggested. We would recommend this for families staying in the area.
-
"We loved the cottage and will come back."
,comfy beds we both found the settee and chair very soft and sank low which made it uncomfy but it looks nice.every thing clean,and beautiful bedding,lovely big bath .a perfect cottage just a short walk to anywhere you wanted to be..shops..beach etc.the parking pass a bonus.and dog bowls and towels....perfect stay.
-
"Lovely cottage."
Perfect location, only metres from me pretty harbour. Nicely decorated and equipped and beds very comfortable. We appreciated the parking permit - and its reach, to include other towns and villages in the area. The pack of washing up liquid, tablets etc was appreciated. Only suggested improvement is to put up a net curtain on the kitchen window. Otherwise perfect!
-
"This cottage is ideally situated right by the sea."
Seahouses has everything you could want, but it is also the perfect base to visit the sandy beaches on either side; turn left you can walk to Banburgh and beyond, turn right you can walk to Beadnell. The highlight for my partner was taking the boat trip, 4 minutes from the cottage and seeing the seals and puffins. The views on this holiday were stunning. The cottage is spacious and cosy and we could feel ourselves unwinding more and more as the week went on
-
"Lovely cottage with everything we needed."
Warm, comfortable, great beds! The cottage is a very short walk to Seahouses' Small Beach, harbour and town. No parking but it is only a 5 minute walk to the Coop. It's possible to pull up to unload the car and pack it up again at the end which was helpful. There was a chocolate cake to greet us along with milk and tea which was much appreciated. Would certainly return to this cottage.
-
"Excellent location and very comfortable cottage."
The owner provided us with a parking permit which was useable in many locations which was a great cost saving. This made up for the inconvenience of there being no parking at the property.
-
"First of all thank you to the previous visitor, the cardboard in the letterbox certainly stopped it rattling."
This is a lovely warm, cosy cottage and certainly met our needs. Everything you need is provided, even a hairdryer! Seahouses is a lovely village and has plenty of places to eat (some better than others). There is no parking at the cottage but a housing estate nearby has plenty of on street parking or use the permit for the main car park. The cottage is overlooked but it’s not in a busy area so fine and the beaches nearby have all the outdoor space you need so we didn’t miss having a garden. Only thing I would add to the cottage is some cushions on the sofas.
-
"We had a wonderful stay and it's a tiny thing, but hopefully hopefully helpful - the outer letterbox was easily blown about by the wind, which was noisy, especially at night, so we put a bit of cardboard in it it stop it banging - maybe find a way to tighten it or replace with a sturdier one?"
Does a holiday cottage even need a letterbox? We had a great time, thanks!
-
"Very impressed."
Spacious, clean and a great location- close to beaches and local amenities. Would definitely recommend.
-
"Very nice cottage."
Comfy and warm. Central. Cosy. Well equipped kitchen (but the knives need sharpening!) Comfy beds. I managed the shower over the bath although I am temporarily disabled. (perhaps a rail on the wall would be useful?)
-
"The property is well situated for shops and the harbour."
It is very comfortable, but the absence of parking means that it is not relaxing, in that you have to get up early to refresh payment in the car park if you don't want to pay through the nose. The property is also overlooked front and rear which is another drawback. Other than that we had s very pleasant stay.
Thank you for your feedback. We do provide a parking permit in the property with instructions, for your use during your stay, which means that you do not need to top up the car park payment. We are sorry if you missed this information Property Owner
-
"Great cottage very comfortable."
Great location. Very clean and tidy. Few more cushions on settees and chairs would be beneficial.
-
"Perfect location, with a bit of a spruce and clean, would be 5 Stars"
-
"Extremely clean and welcoming."
Area is very quiet. Cottage is very close to the harbour and only a few minutes walk away Although there is no parking the carpark is only 5 mins away We had a really great holiday here.
-
"Just the most lovely cottage, in the most lovely of locations."
Probably the best equipped (in terms of kitchen cutlery at least!) we’ve stayed in and so very comfortable. Seahouses is very pleasant with all necessary amenities, but the surrounding area of Northumberland is just beautiful. We fell in love with the place and will most definitely be back.
-
"Cottage was really comfortable and situated very handy for shops and beach."
-
"A wonderful cottage with everything you would need, even on a bad weather day, only downside was the lack of parking outside , a pass for the local car park was provided which could be used in other car parks which saved quite a bit of money, overall I would definitely use the cottage again."
-
"Lovely property"
-
"Great property which is very close to the harbour and centre of the town."
No parking, but there is free parking on the road 200m away. The parking permit for car parks in the surrounding area is very welcome.
-
"This is our 2nd visit to Fisherman’s Cottage and it retained its appeal."
Ideally situated in the centre of Seahouses, with lovely easily accessible walks (which is good and necessary if you have a dog as there is no garden.) Although no parking at property is allowed, a free permit is given to use local car park which is a convenient walking distance.
-
"We are repeat customers to both Sykes and Fisherman's Cottage."
We love Northumberland and spend time walking and beach combing. We have an old dog. This cottage is perfect for our needs. It's close to the sea, and close to shops for food and a good variety of takeaways. The cottage has a faded chintz feel to it and its facilities are not particularly modern, but you have everything you need and what we like is the home from home feel. It's comfortable and homely. We are likely to return. The only downside is the lack of parking by the cottage, but having a free parking pass for the main car park is useful. I'm not sure how that works in high season as the main car park gets very busy even at low season on weekends. If you want high end ultra modern, perhaps not the choice for you, but if you want a spacious and comfortable family cottage, I'd recommend Fisherman's Cottage.

"Lovely well maintained cottage, clean and it had all the ameneties we needed."
Location was great and it was exactly what we were hoping for. Sure to use your facilities again. many thanks. John
-
"Absolutely amazing time at Seahouses and to stay in such a beautiful cottage was an absolute treat."
We loved every minute and the cottage had everything we needed and more. Will definitely be back.
-
"Clean, warm and well equipped property."
Fantastic location. Use of parking permit was a real bonus.
-
"Fab break away in a fab cottage."
Very clean and comfortable and the car park permit was an excellent bonus. Would definately book this cottage again
-
"Lovely cottage- so well equipped!"
We haven’t enjoyed a cottage as much as this one- we loved reading under blankets on the sofa after a long day out. Perfect location for us. Beds and towel provision surpassed expectations. Lovely little touches like some coffe/ tea/ milk and ice! Thank you! Will be back!
-
"We had a wonderful stay at fisherman’s cottage!"
The booking process provided by Sykes cottage was very easy and efficient and we were provided all the information we needed before our stay. The cottage was lovely, very cosy and had everything we needed.
-
"The only downside to this property is there's no parking but there is a pay and display ticket that enables you to park your vehicle in the nearest car park a short distance away free of charge."
This was our first time staying at Fisherman's Cottage but it definately won't be our last, it had everything you needed, a home from home, clean, cosy and comfy, can't wait to return.
-
"Lovely cottage with nice neighbour at the back."
Parking badge a welcome surprise.
-
"Yet again , Fisherman's Cottage was beautiful ."
Mum & me loved it to bits . Seahouses is a lovely place with such friendly people . The weather was beautiful which added extra for us . We have booked again next year Thanks so much Dorothy xxxxx
-
"The sofas were very uncomfortable and need replacing."
A good assortment of decent saucepans but the frying pan was too small, scratched and rusty as were the roasting dishes. The owner was informed about the state of the roasting pans. Overall it needs a deep clean. The security lights on houses at back were coming on and off all night making difficult to sleep.
Thank you for your feedback. I understand the owner offered to replace the pans during your stay but you preferred not to accept the offer. However, the pans and baking trays were replaced after your stay. The property normally receives full marks for cleanliness and if a guest has any issues during their stay the owner is keen to address this as soon as possible. Property Owner

"Lovely ,homely cottage in centre of village ."
Thoughtful welcome pack ,flowers and spotlessly clean ,what more could you want .Parking permits while not used by us very helpful
-
"The accommodation was clean, comfy, warm and well equipped."
Good location, close to shops, pubs, beach etc. No parking outside property, but available not far away and the permit meant we didn't need to pay for parking in other places. Several phone calls to Sykes cottages, they apparently needed my email address. I gave it to 3 different people on 3 separate occasions. I didn't actually get sent any information until the third phone call when the chap I spoke to was very helpful.
-
"Very comfortable cottage, close to the harbour."
Very clean and well kept, with all the facilities that you would require for your break.
-
"The cottage was cosy, comfortable and clean."
The coffee ,tea biscuits and fresh flowers a lovely welcome. We were able to leave our car at the back of the cottage as a kind neighbour told us the adjacent cottage was unoccupied that week.The beds were very comfortable,this is not always the case in holiday rentals.
-
"Great cottage ,well stocked ,very clean and comfortable ."
A welcome pack of tea ,coffee, milk , sugar and biscuits was appreciated as was a lovely jug of roses ,what a nice touch ! Brilliant location,near the harbour ,pubs and Hotels ,who all serve excellent food and drinks .A parking permit for one car in the main car park was very good as double yellow lines outside the cottage and in most of the streets .An excellent base for seeing the local area .Thoroughly enjoyed our week !
-

Seahouses was a lovely place and so were the villages and islands near it ,the cottage was a nice cottage but no garden at all and we kept the kitchen curtains closed because there were houses behind us so close,the parking was horrendous it was double yellow lines everywhere,we were told parking was nearby but it wasn’t it was a car park in the town because everyone else had all the spaces, cottage needs painting and new lounge carpet and sofas
-
"The biggest issue with this property is the parking."
Every other Cottage in this row have parking and we had to park in the town centre and pay an extra £49 for the privilege. On rainy days you were wet through before you set off for a day out, and got wet again on return. The Cottage itself was fine.
-
"Everything we had a great time"

"Very easy booking procedure,cottage and associated facilities exactly as described."
Would and have recommended to friends.

"Had a lovely time!"

"Fishermans Cottage was really lovely, well equipped and well located."
Parking, though not available near the property, was not a great issue as there was plenty of parking in the central car park in the town. We would love to stay there again.
