Simonside Cottage

Description

Tucked away in a quiet setting, this delightful, refurbished stone built cottage provides comfortable and welcoming accommodation on one level in the popular coastal village of Seahouses. Less than 400 metres from the beach and bustling harbour, it provides an excellent base for a seaside holiday. The many attractions of the Heritage Coast and award winning countryside are within just a few minutes drive and the numerous amenities of the village which include a good range of shops, pubs, restaurants and an 18 hole links golf course are all within easy walking distance. During the summer the colourful harbour has boat trips sailing on a regular basis to the Farne Islands to view the many colonies of nesting sea birds and grey seals at close quarters. A couple of miles to the north is Bamburgh, dominated by the impressive castle which stands guard over the village and the magnificent sweep of sandy beach.
