Two of the double bedrooms and a shower room are on the ground floor, where there is also a utility room leading to a lovely sun room, which overlooks the large enclosed garden. Enjoy dining al fresco whilst watching the children and pets play. The spacious living/dining room runs the full length of the house, and is located on the first floor to maximise the amazing sea views over golden sands and towards Bamburgh Castle from the full height windows.

Seaview House is located at St Aidan on the fringe of the traditional fishing village of Seahouses, where there are tea rooms, restaurants, pubs and shops, all within a short walk. Take a trip to the Farne Islands and see the nesting seabirds and grey seal colonies. The picture postcard village of Bamburgh, protected by its dramatic fortress, is 2 miles north, with its wide golden sandy beach where the tidal island of Lindisfarne can be viewed. Steeped in history, Waren Mill is a further 2 miles up the coast. Once an important port, its harbour has long since disappeared, silted up beneath the sands of the estuary. The bird sanctuary at Budle Bay has a vast expanse of mud flats at low tide, which is home to thousands of sea and land birds, perfect for keen birdwatchers. The market town of Alnwick, with its castle and many facilities, is a few miles inland. Alnwick Garden, with its Grand Cascade waterfall and restaurant within the largest treehouse in Europe, is within easy reach and a popular attraction. Horse riding is available nearby and there is an impressive golf course on the links close by. Seaview House offers an idyllic coastal retreat for families and friends looking to explore the Heritage Coast, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Beach 50 yards. Shop, pub and restaurant 700 yards.

We absolutely loved staying here, there is so much room, and the view from the lounge is just awesome. Garden is very safe for dogs. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, a full size freezer and fridge. We left a couple of takeaway leaflets. Seahouses is a great place, lovely ice creams, great gift shops, and so many places to visit, cragside being a favourite. We loved chilling on the sofa in an evening, watching the tides and views change. A wonderful place !

We had a absolutely wonderful time. This house was lovely, the view from the living room was so amazing and picturesque, watching the sunset and sunrise from over the sea was stunning. The proximity to the beach was ideal. A bit of a walk from the shop, but no complaints as the walk was pleasant. I do recommend people bring binoculars or you can buy some from the National trust shop in Seahouses. Definitely recommend the boat trips to the Farne Island. Slight down-side (which can't be helped) was the Swallows which had nested just outside the top floor bedroom window and were a tad noisy at 4am. They were fantastic to watch dart in front of the window, but not appreciated that early in the morning. Will definitely consider coming back again.
