THE PROPERTY DETAILS
Nestled in the historic fishing quarter of Seahouses, Cliff House Cottages offer four characterful holiday homes arranged around a charming courtyard. While each cottage boasts its own unique layout, they share a consistent coastal charm throughout.
Just a matter of yards from your doorstep, you'll find yourself atop the harbour wall, where thoughtfully placed seating invites you to pause and observe the bustling maritime life below. The location is perfect for both relaxation and exploration, with beautiful beaches stretching both north and south along the coastline.
The cottages' prime location puts you at the heart of village life, with everything you need within easy reach. Local amenities include independent shops, a butcher, a baker, various pubs and restaurants, a newsagent, petrol station, library, and convenient takeaways. The working harbour isn't just a picturesque backdrop – it's also your gateway to the Farne Islands, where you can spot puffins (best viewed in June and July), grey seals, and numerous seabird species. This rich wildlife and stunning scenery make the area particularly appealing to birdwatchers and photographers.
