Herringbone Cottage is a picturesque, upside down, fisherman”s cottage in the quiet “old town” of Seahouses, a once thriving fishing port on the Northumberland coastline. Seahouses is situated between the historic castle of Bamburgh in the north with its sacred, ancient past and Beadnell in the south with its small west-facing harbour and magnificent sandy beach.
The coastline is looked upon by many as Northumberlands most attractive feature, especially the long, un-crowded sandy beaches, which also have some of the cleanest dunes in England. The forty mile stretch from Amble to Berwick upon Tweed has been officially recognised by the National Trust as both a heritage coast and an area of outstanding beauty.
This once thriving fishing port offers everything from fine food & drink to the Seafield Ocean Leisure Club and is within easy travelling distance for Holy Island and The Farne Islands. Seahouses Harbour, also known as “North Sunderland Harbour”, is busy with fishing and diving boats and pleasure craft taking visitors to the Farne Islands. 2 Bdrms (5/6). Linen. Pets Welcome.
