Guests say
Annstead House is generally praised for its cleanliness, comfortable beds, and secure garden, making it ideal for families and pet owners. Its location is appreciated for being quiet yet within walking distance to Seahouses' amenities and beautiful beaches. While some guests mention maintenance issues and suggest updates, the property offers a well-equipped kitchen and spacious accommodation.
Most guests found Annstead House to be very clean, with only a few isolated incidents of cleanliness concerns, such as a stained mattress protector. The overall impression is that the property is well-maintained in terms of hygiene.
The property is consistently commended for its excellent location, being in a peaceful setting yet close to shops, beaches, and the harbour. Its proximity to local attractions and the town centre is a highlight for many guests.
Guests generally find the beds comfortable and the property spacious, with a secure garden and a conservatory adding to the comfort. However, some guests mention that the sofas and beds could be updated for enhanced comfort.
The property is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, but there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as a problematic washing machine and shower drainage. Some guests also suggest that the property could benefit from a refresh and attention to details like double glazing and conservatory blinds.
There is a lack of consistent mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness. While there is a reference to a missing welcome pack, it is not clear if this is a standard offering, and therefore, it is not possible to accurately assess thoughtfulness.
About this property
An immaculate detached holiday home resting in the quaint seaside village of Seahouses, Annstead House is ideal for a group of adults or a family looking to explore the wonders of the Northumberland coast. Park off road and unpack with ease into this fantastic holiday home, settling down in one of the leather sofas of the sitting/dining room and enjoying a hot beverage as you plan the day ahead of you, and for relaxed afternoons spent with a good book, there is an excellent second sitting room in the conservatory, overlooking the garden where quaint dining furniture makes alfresco dining a must. The kitchen is amply fitted, all amenities stashed neatly away into contemporary cupboards, so why not cook up a storm made from local produce and enjoy your masterpiece in the dining area? Freshen up in the shower room before cosying up for the night in one of the three bedrooms, a ground-floor king-size with a TV and handy en-suite, a king-size zip-link bed that can be set up as a twin on request and a double bedroom. Seahouses is a wonderful coastal village with local shops, pubs, cafes and a convenience store within easy reach of the property, so why not enjoy a family meal out with a glass of your favourite beverage? Seahouses has a stunning sandy beach, and two more beaches, North Sunderland Beach and Bell’s Point, are close by, however if you wish to explore the coast further then boat tours are available from Serenity Farne Island Boat Tours. Travel a little further from the town and you will find the historic town of Bamburgh where there will be more tasty eateries as well as the spectacular Bamburgh Castle for you to visit, and beyond that the incredible Holy Island. Make a seaside holiday to remember with a stay at Annstead House.
A bustling, pretty fishing village with an attractive harbour, situated on the beautiful Northumbrian coast in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Secure garden was ideal for our dogs. Only minor complaint was the lack of cutlery, donât know why there was only 1 fork and no dessert spoons.

Everything you need for a very comfortable holiday. Plenty of space with the lounge and conservatory, a well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, lots of storage for clothes etc, hot water in abundance, and an enclosed garden for the dog. The upstairs shower is a bit on the snug side for adults, but usable. A quiet cul de sac at the end of the town, but a quick 5 minute stroll into the town either by the road, or the coastal path. The beaches are to die for, as is the scenery. Locals extremely friendly, and Stottys butchers do the best sausages ever. We were blessed with excellent weather too. We loved our stay, and had already booked our return for 2025 before this year's holiday. Thank you Annstead House, and Seahouses, for a fantastic break.
