Fully enclosed back garden perfect for dogs. It will certainly be one we look to book again.

It was so clean we felt we were using everything brand new.There were sufficient pans but there might have been a few more casserole type dishes to cook things like pasta bakes or apple crumble and perhaps a collapsible clothes basket to carry wet washing in. We liked the USB points in the plugs.The five of us had a good break despite some very wet weather.

Beds comfy and good sized towels. The house is so bright and airy. Luckily the weather was good when we stayed. Seahouses is such a great base, did lots of walking, visiting Beadnell and Bamburgh. Boat trip to the Farne Islands was amazing watching the birds and the seals. Seahouses has good places to eat, but also great local shops if you want to cook in the well equipped kitchen. Love it Thankyou
