    Luckily the weather was mild so heating not a big issue.

  • "We had a fabulous holiday in Seahares Cottage."

    The cottage was beautiful, with everything you could need. The attention to detail was outstanding. We loved all the beautiful pictures and ornaments that you don't usually get in a holiday cottage. It was very homely and incredibly peaceful. We will return.

    The garden is perfect for dogs as fully enclosed and the bonus of spacious parking is the cherry on the cake. The welcome basket and household provisions were superb, thank you so much, we will be back. :)

    The location in Seahouses is great, with the harbour at the bottom of the road and easy access to beaches and the coastal path. The bottle of pink fizz, fresh eggs and welcome basket were also a lovely touch.

  • "Seahares exceeded our expectations."

    It was a real home from home for my wife and I and our dog. Very conveniently placed in a quiet street with a short walk to harbour, shops and pubs. The booking process with Sykes was efficient, and empathic as they changed dates for us without fuss when our dog took ill. We were very grateful for that, thank you. I would highly recommend Sykes and Seahares is fab, 10/10, we look forward to returning.

    It was lovely to return and everything was as excellent as the first time. The property is lovely, comfortable and clean. Plenty of equipment if you want to cook, great location for town amenities if you want to eat out. Weather was kind, and the short distance from the cottage to the harbour and beaches is made for lovely walks. Hopefully we will return soon.

  • "What an amazing week."

    Seahares Cottage is an absolute delight. The interior decoration is fabulous. The cottage is exceptionally well equipped with everything you could need for a very comfortable stay. We had the good fortune of having a full week of sunny weather so didn't need the woodburner but I would imagine it would be very cosy. The cottage is situated within minutes of the harbour, shops and pubs but was still really quiet. Fantastic walks along the beach to Bamburgh and Beadnell where The Landing made for a great lunch stop. Wonderful week, wouldn't hesitate to go back.

  • "Seahares is ideally situated to explore the stunning Northumbria coastline."

    Tucked away down a quiet street, the nearby small beach (ideal for dog-ball throwing) is within 2 minutes from the front gate. The cottage itself is gorgeous - the owner clearly has fantastic taste and a flair for interior design. We cooked at home each evening (the penalty of owning an elderly dog) and the cottage had all the utensils and equipment that we needed. The lounge area is really comfortable with as many cushions and rugs as you could wish for. The bed (we only slept in the one) was really comfortable and, after so much walking we slept really well. The bathroom is well equipped and has a very efficient shower. The enclosed area (for the dogs) is at the front of the house (where you can park your car) and there is no back garden and no 'views', but there is a bench table where you can eat outside if the weather is kind. Nevertheless, with the beach nearby and the long glorious beaches of the coastline from Bamburgh to Craster within a short (on the lead) walk or a drive, it is dog heaven. The area is of course steeped in history and you can get your fill of castles. We took a boat trip to the Farne Islands see the puffins and then the seals both of which were well worth the time...and drove to Lindisfarne - another 'must visit'. Many people had told us of the beauty of this area, and it exceeded expectations. We would love to come back and would definitely return to Seahares..

    The ultimate test is whether you would repeat the experience; I would have no hesitation in so doing.
