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.

It is in an excellent location, equipped with everything we needed, the beds are comfy and the house is warm and cosy. Private parking is a real bonus. We are happy to recommend Annstead House, we wouldn't hesitate to book again.
