About this property
Nestled on the Northumberland coastline, less than half a mile from a sandy beach, this charming holiday home offers a tranquil retreat, perfect for families and small groups of friends. With one dog also welcome, make the most of your seaside surroundings, starting with a stroll to Seaton Sluice Beach (0.5 miles) to enjoy panoramic sea views, stopping for some bird and ship spotting at The Cut along the way. There are several pubs and popular seafood restaurants on the doorstep, and a range of shops close by. Visit the impressive Seaton Delaval Hall and fascinating Gardens, only 1 mile away. Explore the 19th-century St. Mary’s Lighthouse at low tide (2.5 miles), or walk the coastal path and promenade to Whitley Bay (3 miles). Spanish City (3 miles) offers cafes and restaurants with sea views for afternoon tea and dinner, and you can book a show at the local Playhouse.
On entry to this welcoming holiday home, step into the hallway where you can hang your coats and kick off your walking boots after a day on the coast path. Head through to the airy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner – the social heart of the home. The comfortable seating in the lounge and a pebble-effect gas fire make it easy to unwind and watch a film on the Smart TV. The kitchen is well-equipped with plenty of useful appliances, including a small breakfast bar and two stools where you can sit and chat to the family cook, while coffee aficionados will love the premium coffee machine that awaits. Enjoy your meals sitting at the dining table, and after food, head through the French doors into the south-facing conservatory where you can relax on the sofa with a view of the garden and the visiting bird life. The three bedrooms are on the first floor; a king-size bedroom with fantastic sea views and a TV, a double bedroom with plenty of storage space, and a charming single bedroom with a sea view. Completing the property is the well-appointed bathroom with a walk-in shower and WC.
Outside, at the rear, there is a south-facing, enclosed garden with decking and artificial grass, and a bistro table and seating where you can enjoy al fresco food and drinks in the warmer months.

Beautifully furnished, decorated and presented property. Ideal location for exploring the lovely beaches, coastal walks to Blyth and Whitley Bay. Shops and pubs virtually on the doorstep so no negatives whatsoever, also dog friendly so if you take your furry friend with you there are plenty of great walks for them to enjoy too.
