  • "We had a thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable stay at Mid Cote."

    We were met by Ann at the property and she made us feel very welcome. She'd also prepared a very generous welcome pack. The property lived up to our expectations and its quiet location between Seahouses and Bamburgh was ideal for walking and as a base to explore Northumberland.

    I am delighted that you had a relaxing holiday at Mid Cote and enjoyed its tranquil location which also provides an excellent base from which to explore the beautiful Northumbrian coast! Also may I take this opportunity to thank you for being such lovely guests: leaving the cottage so clean and tidy on your departure! Anne Property Owner

  • "A beautiful maintained home."

    We felt we were in the art deco period but with all the 21st mod cons. The home is so well equipped, warm and inviting. Even the summer house was a luxury, to sit and unwind, gazing out to the stars without a care in the world. A peaceful haven in a busy 21st century.

    Mid Cote not only has a unique character but being located on the wonderful Northumbrian coast makes it very special indeed (at least in my estimation!) So I am always delighted to learn that guests have thoroughly enjoyed their holiday there and thank you so much for this complimentary review Christina. Also thank you for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy on your departure which makes changeover day so much less stressful for myself! Anne Property Owner

  • "A comfortable, clean cottage which was well equipped."

    Anne had provided a generous welcome basket and was very helpful and accessible following a power outage.

    I am glad that you enjoyed the amenities of Mid Cote despite having some inclement weather and the drama of power outages! Thank you for being such lovely and helpful guests; also for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy on your departure. Anne Property Owner

  • "The Cottage is lovely with a beautifully kept garden."

    It is remote enough for peace and quiet but then only 5 mins drive and you can be in the busy town of Seahouses. The Cottage has charm and is well maintained. The beds are comfortable and shower works very well. It is very clean and tidy. I also like the quality of such things like the crockery. It is also a perfect location for the beach which is in walking distance or a short drive away.

    Mid Cote is an Arts and Crafts cottage built at the beginning of the 20th century and I have tried to furnish it in keeping with that style wherever possible, whilst ensuring there are modern amenities too! So it gives me great pleasure when lovely families like yours, Lyndsey, enjoy its special charm! In return for your kind comments I would like to thank you for leaving everything so clean and tidy on your departure and it goes without saying that I hope to be able to welcome you all back at some time in the future!

    After a busy day exploring Northumberland, it was lovely to sit and relax in Mid Cote. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again. We were very lucky with the weather, glorious sunshine all week. We cannot guarantee good weather but we can guarantee you’ll love Mid Cote!

  • "Mid Cote is such a lovely property to stay in."

    A beautiful Arts and Crafts House, carefully restored with a beautiful garden. It was spotlessly clean, with a thoughtful welcome pack left for visitors. It is very close to busy Seahouses, but in a quiet and peaceful hamlet of other Arts and Crafts houses. Staying there for three nights was just not long enough.

    I am so pleased that you enjoyed the character and tranquillity of the cottage Dorothy and, of course, I would be delighted to welcome you back for a longer stay in the future! Anne Property Owner

  • "A very cosy and spotlessly clean cottage with all that was needed for a very comfortable stay."

    Nicely positioned for visiting Bamburgh, Lindisfarne and Seahouses. A very quiet location with a pleasant garden and summer house. A very nice 'welcome pack' provided by the owner consisting of coffee, biscuits, bread, milk and tea bags. We very much enjoyed our stay despite "unsettled" weather and would highly recommend.

  • "What can I say about this lovely place."

    I would dearly love to keep it a secret but it deserves to be shared and enjoyed. Mid Cote is a high end property with its own secret garden, which is very beautiful and calming. The cottage itself is decorated and equipped to the highest of standards and taste.. We were truly fortunate to find this property when the one we originally found fell through. I am so glad that it did and we found Mid Cote. You can walk to the beach in minutes, sea houses centre in 15 minutes and lovely Bamburgh the other way. The summer house was a delight with views of Bamburgh Castle and the lovely unspoilt countryside. It was lovely after a day out to retreat to for some calm and serenity. We had a lovely warm welcome from the owner, Anne. A very nice welcome box and just felt at home straight away. This property is a rare find. If you are looking for somewhere really lovely and comfortable to recharge and find yourself this is for you. If you love wildlife then the hares, nesting swifts, bats and owls will provide a lovely show for you. We sat in the summerhouse alongside the hares and bats watching the most amazing northern lights dance across the skies. A real magical experience. One of the nicest, most calming, restoring holiday we have had. Truly unspoilt and unique. Go, see for yourself and sleep in the most comfortable of beds while you enjoy it.

    I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Mid Cote so much Kristina and thank you for this lovely compliment for the cottage. In return may I say that you were wonderful guests, leaving everything so perfectly clean and tidy on your departure that changeover day was very easy for me indeed! Property Owner

Boasting Grade II listed accommodation, Mid Cote is a picture-postcard, pretty cottage situated in Shoreston, close to Bamburgh in Northumberland and is just a short walk from the beach.

Ideal for a family with an older child or a couple, the cottage offers rustic and well-presented interiors together with delightful gardens.

On stepping into the property, guests are welcomed into a gorgeous living area with solid wood flooring, neutral décor, tasteful soft furnishings and a beautiful inset woodburning stove, making a wonderful space for chilling out whether just getting warm in front of the fire, chatting with each other or zoning out and watching TV.

If you’re hungry then the fully fitted, country-style kitchen is ready for the designated chef to come and cook up a storm.

When it’s time to serve up, there is a delightful dining area in the main living space where guests can pull up a chair and look forward to tucking into relaxing meals together.

The gardens are a real feature, so if the sun is shining you will definitely be spending a lot of time here with gardens, a charming summerhouse and a patio area with a barbecue just waiting for you to fire it up and indulge in quality time drinking and dining alfresco.

All the fresh Northumberland air will no doubt have tired you out, so at bedtime choose from a pleasant king-size or an attractive single.

Both are beautifully presented and come with a TV, so no need to worry about missing out on your favourite programme!

In the morning, you’ll be refreshed and raring to go, so after a quick shower you’re good to go and ready to explore the delights of Bamburgh and beyond.

About the location

SEAHOUSES

Beadnell 1.8 miles; Bamburgh 3.5 miles; Alnwick 14.8 miles.

The village’s sweeping sandy beaches and dramatic fortress - Bamburgh Castle - make Bamburgh one of Northumberland’s major visitor attractions. The castle can be seen for miles and dominates this part of the county’s coastline. Today it remains home to the family of the great Victorian industrialist Lord Armstrong, and is open to the public on a daily basis. Although overshadowed by the great castle, Bamburgh village is picturesque with neat grey stone cottages facing a manicured village green. There are excellent pubs, hotels with restaurants and a small selection of village shops. There are golf courses in Bamburgh and nearby Seahouses, and within easy reach are more wide sandy beaches, lovely fishing villages, stunning castles and coastal islands to explore along the dramatic Heritage Coast. There are numerous other attractions also a short drive away, including the famous Alnwick Castle and Gardens and the historic walled border town, Berwick-upon-Tweed. A superb base for exploring Northumberland.
