Curlew Cottage

We have just returned home after a great stay in Curlew Cottage.

The position of the cottage is perfect - just a short walk to the nearest beach and all the local amenities. Parking on site is a welcome bonus. The accommodation had everything we needed plus the fact it has an en-suite as well as a separate bathroom worked well for us and our family. We only ate in during our stay for 2 evenings but the kitchen amenities are great. Our dog really appreciated the adjacent field and the visiting rabbits! We have stayed in Seahouses/North Sunderland numerous times but we will be rebooking for this accommodation as it’s just perfect for us.

We stayed here in early April 2026.

We have stayed here before, so this was a welcome return visit. As always we found the property presented to a high standard and it was a real pleasure to stay at Curlew Cottage. Thank you.

Very clean and comfortable.

Ideally situated close to the town for shops and the harbour.

The cottage was very comfortable and warm at a very cold time of year.

Super large comfy bed, great storage space in bedrooms, lovely walk in shower and great to have sky TV. Also excellent parking right in front, so unloading and loading made easy. Also good to be so close to village centre and amenities as well. We know Seahouses well and we’re not really holiday makers but needed a good base for a week. A few things could have helped make our stay even better and these include trays, so we didn’t have to always sit at the table, an oven tray for warming food, an ironing board ( there was an iron and clothes drying frame but no board and we did do some washing), plus another lamp in the lounge to save using bright overhead ceiling light. We would have also found a second key helpful as we were both in and out of the cottage at different times. Overall though great base for us.

We were very pleased with the accommodation.

It had all the facilities and comfort we needed for our stay. There were however one or two minor problems that didn't affect our stay but we we were able to bring to the attention of the owner in a very useful 'Fix it please' book. Not mentioned in the book though was the cleanliness of the oven that we feel needs to be addressed. Also I have mobility problems that does affect my balance so a handle in the shower would have been very useful. All in all though as I've said it didn't affect our holiday and in spite of the weather we went out every day and really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful area. We would definitely recommend and stay in the cottage again should the occasion arise. As a general comment about 'Welcome Packs' in properties so many people today have 'allergies' and personally we were unable to use the milk and tea left for us and would have appreciated de-caffeinated coffee instead. The biscuits went down a treat!

Had a lovely week at Curlew Cottage, Seahouses.

The cottage was spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable with everything we needed for a great holiday. We found the location of the cottage perfect with the coastal path on the doorstep, great if you have a dog as it accesses a lovely beach. Seahouses town centre only a short walk also. Would definitely return and happy to recommend to others.

We have stayed at Curlew Cottage on several occasions and the cottage is an ideal location for a great holiday in Seahouses and the surrounding area.

The cottage is well equipped and very well maintained.

Perfect for our situation.

we had a lovely week.The house was clean and warm and the field nextdoor was ideal for dog walks in the dark.Thankyou.

Lovely cosy cottage convenient for Seahouses centre and with adequate parking outside the property.

The cottage is located at the quiet end of a small estate and has a beautiful view of the sea from the front of the property. Plenty of opportunities for beach walks and dog walking areas too. Very clean and well maintained. We have stayed in the property twice now and looking forward to our next visit. It’s almost like coming home.

We've been to Curlew cottage a number of times now, and it never fails to disappoint.

It has everything we need for a comfortable stay and is a great central point for exploring this beautiful part of the world. We love it!

Lovely little place with everything you need.

We found it very clean and a very welcoming place. It was cosy and peaceful. We'll definitely be back.

Lovely, comfortable cottage.

Good location. Nice outside seating area. Dog friendly

A wonderful equipped and comfortable property which had everything I needed for a perfect stay.

The location is brilliant with immediate access onto the coastal path and within 5 minutes easy easy walk of the town centre

What a lovely cottage,perfect location,clean, dog friendly.

Everything you need for a relaxing holiday. First time to Northumberland. Not our last. Already booked Curlew Cottage for next year.

Comfortable, well situated cottage!

If you like being a stone's throw from the coast this will suit you perfectly.

Every evening we walked along the coast to Seahouses harbour. We were able to pick up any groceries from a choice of two small supermarkets. We used the local buses rather than our car to explore Alnwick, Berwick, Beadnell and Bamburgh. In the last two cases it gave us a lovely one way beach walk. There's a choice of several boat trips just a short walk away too. All from a comfortable base with everything we needed.

Overall its a lovely little cottage within Seahouses.

This is our 2nd visit to Curlew and we have to say the new boiler is perfect. Would have been lovely to sit in the early morning sun, with a cuppa at the front. Looking forward to booking again. Many thanks.

Very quiet neighbourhood, ideal for dogs fields and lovely walks within 10 metres and easy access to shops and pubs.

We have stayed at Curlew Cottage before, the fact that we've returned demonstrates how much we like it.

It's comfortable, warm and well equipped. The location near to the coastal path is ideal for accessing the harbour, and the facilities of Seahouses. It is a few minutes to the shops and other facilities, near to the coast road, but not so traffic noise can be heard. There are extra throws and blankets (we didn't need them). We enjoyed Sky tv for those evenings when we didn't go out. We hope to return!!

Really loved this holiday one really bad day we were stuck in doors.

It’s a lovely cottage. We have stayed there before and would not hesitate to book again. Could do with a television upstairs when the weather is bad.

Lovely cottage in an ideal location but let down by the following issue: oil-fired boiler situated in kitchen gives off strong unpleasant fumes which permeate throughout the cottage.

Contacted the owner about these, she arranged for a plumber to check this (we were not in the cottage at the time). Apparently if there are fumes they are not dangerous to health and comply with safety regulations. Unfortunately this did not stop the fumes from happening and we note from previous reviews for this property others have mentioned the issue but obviously nothing has been done to solve the issue. Please can others be made aware of this issue prior to booking as the smell left us feeling nauseous and headachy and was a blight to an otherwise lovely holiday.

Really enjoyed our stay at curlew cottage We've been to seahouses several times and found your cottage perfect for us.

We would definitely book again thank you for our lovely stay.

There is a problem with the boiler,the fumes were really bad.

My dog's refused to eat inside because they smelt the fumes and felt sick The cottage was clean,well equipped and in a lovely area

The property itself has a superb location & so clean & tidy inside with all utensils you need in the kitchen.

The information sheets & little notes around were a handy touch....Just a couple of suggestions for cosiness, curtains for bedroom's, particularly small, as lights from neighbouring site peep through sides of blind. Also couple of cushions for chairs upstairs and 2 need replacing in lounge area....The back garden was smaller than we thought & not a pinch of grass for doggy. The saving grace for the dog situation, was the superb fields that were so close. The boiler definitely needs some attention as the fumes ,when ever entering this beautiful little haven was quite pungent, and the noise from the boiler when firing up. We have the same system, so I particularly noticed the difference. Otherwise my top list of places to stay.

The cottage is very cosy, comfortable and convenient and in walking distance to Seahouses.

Perfect as a base to explore.further afield. Wish we’d found this property earlier in our Northumberland holidays. Have booked again for 2025 which is something we never do normally but this cottage is too good not to return to.

We loved our stay at curlew cottage.

Love Seahouses had a caravan there for sixteen years and the fourth time in a cottage. We will be back.

A wonderful property.

Perfect location. All amenities and comfort provided.

This cosy cottage is situated on the outskirts of Seahouses but close enough to walk to the local shops, pubs & beaches if you so wish.

The area has lots of places ideal for walking your dog which was fantastic for us. We found the cottage was very tidy, clean & comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. The bed was super comfy with a lovely en-suite shower room which was perfect. A big plus for us was the private parking right outside the property. A perfect holiday home from home, would highly recommend.

Great little place, with everything you need and with the sea and town just a short stroll away.

We had a lovely stay at curlew cottage, a well equipped, comfortable cosy cottage with fantastic sea views,the location of the cottage was excellent, we didn’t even have to use the car, walks from the doorstep,and used local buses to get further afield, we would highly recommend this cottage to stay in .

Lovely cottage very clean and comfortable Lovely location had a great week booked again for next year

Good clean comfortable cottage in a great position for beach , town , and walks.

Not problem however just to make owner aware the kitchen tap is constantly dripping.

Very good location for town and coast path.

Parking outside the property really convenient. On arrival very welcoming appearance with neat garden front and back, inside really clean and comfortable and every facility needed for your self catering holiday.

The location of this property is stunning & great if you have a dog with a huge field a few steps away leading to the cliff walk.

Less than a 10 minute walk into Seahouses so no need to use the car much. The property itself was compact but had everything we needed & the ensuite shower was fantastic. Very clean, many thanks.

We have been coming to Seahouses for over 12 years and this is our 7th accommodation to have stayed in .

I can say that this is far the best for comfort and location.The slow cooker was a bonus to leave on whilst out walking all day. We hope to return next year

Every thing was fine would stay again, very comfortable, warm and clean.

We had everything that we need to make our stay a good one.

Comfortable, well equipped cottage in great location.

Very easy to find, excellent parking.

We love this cottage and have been many times.

We hope to return in the future.

This is a lovely property, well situated for visiting a lot of Northumberland attractions.

It had plenty of kitchen equipment and crockery, and the rooms were beautifully decorated. Do remember to take hand towels (as well as main towels), hand soap and washing up liquid to avoid an early trip to the local supermarket! We would definitely recommend this property and had a lovely holiday in Seahouses.

Took my sister for her birthday - what a great experience!

Will use this cottage again and bring my husband and dog. Very well situated and convenient for town/exploring. A wonderful experience.

Good location especially for a winter break.

Coastal walks from the door. Heating is good, plentiful hot water and good shower. Nice to have more than one bathroom even for two people!

Dog friendly and within walking distance of the beach.

Convenient for the shops. Peaceful location.

A clean, very well equipped property .

..

Excellent location, very clean, modern property with all amenities you would need for a stay.

Well appointed; warm and comfortable.

Well equipped, seating in lounge and dining area for 4. Convenient for coastal walks and amenities of Seahouses. It is a modern, end terrace so expect to be aware of neighbours at times. We would definitely stay again, summer or winter.

This was a lovely clean, well equipped and comfortable house.

We liked its proximity to the coast path and easy walk into Seahouses. Would definitely come again.

Perfect location, good size, very clean, lovely holiday let.
