“Absolutely superb property in a brilliantly convenient location.”

So many added comforts such as a super-large sofa area, beds to sink into and a well-stocked kitchen. It worked perfectly for a multi-generational family with a bedroom and bathroom downstairs. Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful property and for the generous treats (including from our four-legged friends who are missing watching the seagulls on the garden fence a lot!)

“Lovely home which was spotlessly clean and situated in a quiet location in the centre of Seahouses.”

Really comfortable and beautifully furnished with a thoughtful welcome gift. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again.

Patricia March 2024

“We had a really good stay.”

The accommodation was perfect everything you needed was supplied- it was clean and very comfortable. The house was very near the local shops and places to eat - we tried the Black Swan which was excellent. Nice that the owners checked with us that all was ok. All in all a perfect place to stay .Would highly recommend.

“Excellent, if I was able to give more than five stars I certainly would.”

Could not fault this property at all. Unbelievably well equipped compared to anything else we have been to. There is everything you need for a day at the beach (even bucket and spade). There is nothing you will need for the kitchen, plenty of books and games for the wet days. The property is minutes from Seahouses and positioned in the middle of Beadnell and Bamburgh. We will definately be back.

“We stayed here for the weekend with our sons, their partners, and dog .”

We were all impressed with Sans Souci, it truly is a 5 star property. It was absolutely pristine, the beds were extremely comfortable with quality linens and the kitchen is equipped with everything you need . The living space is perfect for families or groups of friends and being able to access the utility room from the rear garden made it easy to keep everything clean after long walks on the beach . The jar of gravy bones for the dog was a nice touch. The house is ideally placed to walk to the beach, the golf course and several of the coastal paths. The Black Swan, a very nice dog friendly gastro pub is only 5 mins walk as are the shops. Scots, the local butcher, sell high quality meats and their sausages are fantastic. Rebecca and Richard, the owners of Sans Souci contacted us by phone on our arrival to check everything was ok and were contactable should we have needed anything. We will definitely be back .

Lovely to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We hope you come back soon. Property Owner
Pearl Mar 2024

“It has been an absolute pleasure to stay in your extremely modern, yet cosy and comfortable property.”

The standard of cleanliness and facilities were excellent and well above our expectations. There was nothing extra we needed that wasn’t readily available in the property. It is in a great location off the main road in a secluded and quiet cul-de-sac, yet close to everything that Seahouses has to offer and within easy distance to some great places of significant interest. We have had a wonderful holiday and can’t recommend Sans Souci highly enough.

“Great house.”

Has everything you could need. All the interior finished to a very high standard. Beds very comfortable. Everything very clean. Nespresso machine, washer / dryer available to use. Electric charger for car also available via an app. Literally 5 minutes walk to shops and pubs, 10 minutes walk to beach. Great walk along the coast to Bamburgh. Owners made contact to check everything and were very attentive. Great place to stay, would definitely recommend.

- Jennifer, February 2024

Glad you enjoyed your stay and all that Sans Souci has to offer. Thank you for the recommendation Property Owner
Michael Feb 2024

“An ideal situation in Seahouses close to the harbour and all the amenities.”

Beautiful appointed accommodation decorated and maintained to a high standard. Close to many of the excellent attractions that Northumbria has to offer.

- Michael, Feb 2024
Denise January 2024

“Lovely property with everything you need - a real home away from home.”

Very close and within walking distance to the pubs and restaurants of Seahouses which is very dog friendly. Owners were great and checked in on us via phone the day after we arrived to ensure everything was ok. Totally recommend.

- Denise, January 2024
Amanda December 2023

“This is a beautiful holiday let tucked away in the heart of Seahouses.”

There is private parking directly outside the property for 2 cars . The garden is fully enclosed which if you have 2 little dogs like we do is a big plus & can be hard to find . The property was lovely & warm on arrival & most importantly spotlessly clean. It can be tricky to find dog friendly properties that don’t have any signs that there have been dogs there , but Sans Souci definitely comes through on this . We visited in the week before Christmas & the tree / decorations were a nice surprise. The kitchen is spacious & well equipped, leading on to the enclosed garden. The lounge is very comfortable with a large corner sofa . All 3 bedrooms have excellent storage, especially the 2 upstairs which have walk in wardrobes. Lovely thick fluffy towels , and crisp white sheets . The welcome pack was incredible, and contained local produce including jam , chutneys & free range eggs . Excellent coffee machine with plenty of pods . Another plus which can be overlooked, is we didn’t arrive to overflowing bins , with a request to ‘put them out ‘ etc. They were discreetly taken care of whilst we were there . Sans Souci is definitely one of the best holiday lets we have stayed in , & we would 100% recommend.

Joy Dec 2023

“Beautiful well equipped holiday home.”

Ground floor bedroom and bathroom is ideal for anyone travelling with elderly or disabled relatives. Ideal location in a lovely part of Northumberland. Something for everyone in the family. Amazing beaches and attractions on your doorstep. Plenty of local gastro pubs and takeaways in the village. Can’t wait to come back.

- Joy, Dec 2023
Martyn November 2023

“Finished and equipped to a very high level throughout in a quiet cul de sac a stones throw from the centre of Seahouses - it doesn't get any better!”

Comfy beds, good heating if needed, everything you need in the kitchen, multiple TVs, good wi-fi, and loads of thoughtful touches from dog biscuits to starter supplies and loads of games. Communications were friendly, helpful and quick. The enclosed back garden is ideal for dogs. Loved it.

- Martyn, November 2023

Thank you for the lovely feedback. Hope you visit again soon Property Owner
Gordon Nov 2023

“When we had our visit, we found it an amazing place to stay, so clean, so well equipped and finished to an extremely high standard.”

The beds were super comfy, the lounge was great for relaxing, and the kitchen was well equipped for every eventuality. It was a cold weekend but the heating system kept us very toasty with the underfloor heating. The village of Seahouses is a lovely place to visit with great walks around the harbour and excellent places nearby to visit. Would highly recommend anyone to say there.

- Gordon, Nov 2023
Julie October 2023

“The perfect place for a family getaway with everything you need provided.”

The house is really well appointed, warm and comfortable and we felt very relaxed. It's also in a great location with easy parking and a two minute walk to the shops, cafés and other attractions. We walked to the beach most days, which is only a ten minute walk at most. Seahouses has a range of places to eat out, including fish and chips, Italian and Indian restaurants and a choice of pubs. We loved driving a few miles to Bamburgh or Embleton and walking along the beach.

- Julie, October 2023

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Sounds like you visited plenty of the local places Property Owner
Lance October 2023

“Sans Souci is a spacious, comfortable, modern house in a quiet cul-de-sac close to all the amenities that Seahouses has to offer.”

The owners are extremely helpful and were kind enough to leave us a ‘welcome pack’ containing lots of tasty local foods. We enjoyed our short break in spite of some terrible weather and we would recommend Sans Souci to anyone interested in exploring the Northumberland coast.

- Lance, October 2023
Stephen October 2023

“As return guests we were equally impressed with Sans Souci as we were on our first stay.”

The accommodation is right up there with the best self catering we have stayed in ( and we've stayed in a lot ). Quiet central location, lovely welcome pack, the standard of everything is 5*. Have already recommended to friends and family.

- Stephen, October 2023
Rosaline September 2023

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the house was gorgeous.”

It has everything we could have possibly needed, even our dog. The best equipped kitchen we’ve ever experienced at a holiday cottage. The house is perfectly located, just a short walk from the centre of Seahouses, yet in a peaceful location. Short distance from pubs, restaurants and a Co-op. The welcome hamper was much appreciated. We didn’t want to leave and look forward to coming back.

- Rosaline, September 2023

Thank you for the glowing review. Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you return soon. Property Owner
Heather August 2023

“Sans Souci is a beautiful property, very well appointed for easy access into Seahouses.”

We took my disabled Mother and she had the downstairs bedroom and bathroom and it was very well equipped. The property is only a few minutes walk into town to a variety of shops, pubs, chippies and a lovely harbour. Again, easy to wheel my Mum into town. I’d recommend the Black Swan pub, both for dining and 2 for 1 cocktails. Sans Souci is also very conveniently located for outings to Bamburgh, Newton by the Sea and Lindisfarne and only a few minutes from wonderful stretches of idyllic beaches. Sans Souci is extremely well equipped, with very comfortable beds, spotlessly clean - and beautiful chandeliers!

- Heather, August 2023

Thank you for leaving such a lovely review. The Black Swan is a favourite of ours too. Property Owner
Ayse August 2023

“The property is in a quiet setting off the main road and is very handy for shops, walks and eateries.”

The owners were very attentive, despite not physically being there. They made contacting them really simple and when we requested an extra fan it was ordered and delivered 24 hours later! The property had a very well equipped kitchen, so the nights we ate in weren’t a problem as everything we needed was provided. If it wasn’t the owners made it clear to contact them. Games were provided, a lovely welcome pack was provided and items to take to the beach, should you wish to, were readily available. We would definitely stay there again.

- Ayse, August 2023

Thank you for the lovely feedback. Glad to hear that you want to come back. Property Owner

Gary June 2023

“We had a fantastic stay at Sans Souci.”

The property was immaculately clean and was tastefully furnished. The owners had obviously a flair for modern design. It has a nice enclosed garden in which we enjoyed sunny evenings with our dog. We can’t recommend this highly enough, (although perhaps we shouldn’t as we want some vacancies for us to go again next year!). Thank you Richard and Becca, see you again soon.

- Gary, June 2023

Glad to hear you had a great time. Hope Lucy had some good doggie days on the beach and it wasn’t too hot for her. Property Owner
