Anchor Cottage (Seahouses)

A comfortable deceptively roomy cottage, which is well appointed.

Lovely and clean, we had a great stay here

Lovely & very well equipped house in great location.

The generous welcome hamper was a lovely surprise too. We will definitely book it again.

A lovely stay at Anchour Cottage

Our fourth stay at anchor cottage and another enjoyable one.

Everything you need to enjoy your stay is provided in the cottage which is in a central location and with space for two cars to park. Amazing weather which made our stay even better!!

One of the best cottages we’ve stayed in!

! Truly a home from home experience from fully equipped kitchen to luxurious bedding and super soft towels. Sofas and beds were so comfortable. Beautifully decorated with lovely artwork throughout. The welcome basket was a nice addition too. Excellent location, just a few minutes to walk to the harbour and centre and about 10 minutes to the beach by the golf course. Would highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking. It was an unseasonally cold week when we stayed and the bathroom never really seemed to get warm but that’s just a minor thing.

Lovely cottage, has everything you need for a chilled holiday.

Comfy beds, very clean, best welcome pack with local produce. Would recommend and book again.

A nice and spacious house to spend Christmas with our kids and their grandparents.

It had everything we needed, was nice and cosy especially with the fire on, and was very well located close to everything in Seahouses. The Christmas tree was very pretty

Another wonderful stay at Anchor Cottage.

The cottage was cosy and comfortable with everything needed for our holiday. Many thanks for the welcome basket, very much appreciated. We would definitely recommend this Cottage and plan to return in the future.

Loved our stay at Anchor cottage very clean, comfortable and cosy.

Well equipped and maintained we especially appreciated the welcome basket. Our first stay but hopefully not our last.

We would book Anchor Cottage again as it was such excellent accommodation.

Very welcoming, very comfortable and high standards throughout the property in all rooms and areas. Everything had been considered and provided to ensure guests were able to enjoy a relaxing holiday. The beds were extremely comfortable. The location is perfect with the Harbour and coastal paths a short walk away . We made good use of all the local businesses for meals, gifts and food shopping. Thankyou also for the very thoughtful and generous welcome basket.

Location of the property was excellent.

It’s a bit small for 6 adults. The third bedroom should have had a single bed - too small for a double.

We had a very comfortable stay at the cottage, everything we needed in the cottage.

Ideal place to travel around the area and Seahouses is beautiful.

We enjoyed our stay at Anchor Cottage especially several visits to the Ocean club and it's swimming pool which the children loved.

The cottage was well equipped and very clean. It is very well placed, only a few minutes walk to the centre of Seahouses with its shops, arcades and pubs and of course several fish and chip shops. The cottage is very comfortable. The smallest bedroom is just about big enough for a double bed, but it was OK for us. We had a minor problem with the plumbing, but someone came very speedily to fix it. The only reason I haven't given five stars is because we had a lot of trouble contacting Sykes before the holiday. The instructions said to contact them if we wanted the ziplink bed made into a twin, which led to a frustrating circle of being told by a computer on the phone to make any changes on the website but online it insisted the bed configuration could not be changed. There was no option to talk to a person, although we did eventually manage to do so on another day and the change was made.

Great location, central to Seahouses.

Clean well equipped cottage. Very comfortable beds. Nice little courtyard to sit out. One sofa in the lounge needs replacing as not in great condition. Only other comment is we didn't really need winter duvets and the heating on in the middle of a heatwave!

We had a lovely week in Seahouses.

The property was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Its location was perfect, with shops, pubs, and the beach all just a short walk away. This was our first visit to Seahouses, and we’d definitely return to the area. A big thank you to the owner for the thoughtful hamper, which was much appreciated after our eight-hour journey!

Absolutely spotlessly clean - comfy beds - lovely decor - great location with parking an added bonus.

Only one small negative is the furniture in front room is a bit passed it’s best. Comfier sofas would be better.

This was our third year at Anchor Cottage and was another enjoyable stay.

Everything you need for a comfortable holiday. Excellent location and two parking spaces. Every year I can see that the owner has done some changes to the property which shows they care about visitors enjoying their stay. Hopefully we will be back next year!

Anchor cottage is simply the most beautiful cottage I have ever stayed in.

The location is perfect, convenient for everything in seahouses and as a base for sightseeing. It has a real home from home feel with everything you could possibly need for your holiday, including a lovely welcome basket. Thank you. All mod cons for everyday living but period style features such as stripped floorboards and open fires which we loved. Great space for 2 car parking, very much needed in seahouses and a beautiful little out door space. Really well equipped as well. The owners have thought of every thing. We have already looked at booking again next year. Just absolutely perfect. Thank you for a fabulous holiday. Would not hesitate to recommend.

We felt that the property represented a really good combination of traditional cottage charm (stripped pine doors and floorboards, plus open fires) and all the quality appliances that modern living has come to expect.

The comprehensive range of books, CDs, DVDs, games and toys would appeal to visitors of all ages and interests. A warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout: clean and tastefully decorated. Ample off-road,, parking space for 2 cars, and --very important to us seniors!-- within easy walking distance to some very fine pubs.

Lovely comfortable cottage in a perfect location.

Well presented and well equipped. Welcome pack was great. Would definitely stay again.

Premium price, less than premium experience.

It was a good location, and on the surface, looked good. There were maintenance issues including - flashing kitchen lights; flashing /not working rt hand light over bathroom sink; hot tap on bath had to be held to turn on and off - not good when it was hot; button on bathroom sink hot tap detached; grey settee in front lounge - spring gone? - down at one side; general rubbish bin outside - totally full on arrival. Cleanliness - downstairs loo very offputting, even after several flushes with what looked like faecal stains; plenty of cobwebs and dust etc along skirting by bed/back of bedside cabinets, suggesting inadequate cleaning; on arrival - black bits in bath - may be blown in if window had been opened, but as you would have to stand in bath to operate the window, obviously the muck was just left - also on shelf between cistern and toilet bowl. Bad staining on mattress protector on queen bed. Minor points - the kettle is very heavy for anyone who is not super fit in upper body. Kitchen blind over the sink hopeless for anyone under 5'5 to reach and pull up/down. Shower lethal - bath mat would be helpful to be obvious. Those issues are about the cottage. In what was not even a full week with a clear message early booking in was out of the question, it felt like being short changed to receive a message when it was too late to react to say the cottage was available earlier. Never had any of theses issues with Sykes before. Very disappointed.

We had a lovely stay at Anchor Cottage.

Perfect location for us! Thank you for the welcome hamper it was much appreciated.

We had a wonderful time the cottage is lovely and we really felt like we were home .

We would definitely recommend staying there and we will definitely look to staying again in the near future

Wonderful, well equipped, beautifully furnished, very homely property.

The easy parking, games, books, buckets and spades, clothes dryer were all very appreciated extras. Fabulous welcome hamper was a very pleasant and delicious surprise, and the phone call to say we could access the property slightly earlier on arrival day was also a bonus. Loved the cottage, Seahouses itself and the property management. Definitely hoping to be back here again!

Very clean cottage.

Well equipped kitchen. Welcome hamper greatly appreciated. Great location. Really enjoyed our first visit to Northumberland.

Our second visit to the cottage and I had read that the bathroom had been refurbished but we were all disappointed that the shower had not been replaced for a more powerful one which would have been nice in the new bathroom.

The new stairs carpet was nice and the new appliances in the kitchen. Overall another lovely stay and we will be back!

The cottage was in s great location & very nice.

The reason for only 1 star is the heating or hot water didn't come on during our stay, this meant we left a day early as no hot water or heating. In the house instructions book it advised heating comes on twice per day long enough to give you hot water through the day and night but this didn't happen. The property maintenence came out and put the heating on but this was only for a short time & not long enough to heat the water. The boiler needs upgrading for a property charging £200 per night. Basically £300 per night as we had to come home early or face another night sitting with blankets wrapped round us & not hot water to wash dishes. Heating & hot water are the minimum you expect

Cosy, comfortable house, feels like home.

The cottage was well presented and very clean.

It felt very much like home and we wished we’d booked a longer stay. The boiler problem was fixed within 30 minutes of notifying the agents, thanks to the engineer who arrived like “superman” from Beadnell Bay. I would highly recommend this cottage.

Stayed over Xmas, beautiful spacious, cosy house.

Maybe a bit more crockery would be necessary if a larger family were staying there. Really loved it.

We had a lovely week in this comfortable cottage - our first stay in Seahouses, but not our last as we’re already talking about coming back!

This quiet cottage is perfectly placed for beach walks and for getting into the town centre. Having off road parking is such a bonus too!

The cottage was beautiful it had everything we wanted we will definitely stay there again

We loved the cottage, it was comfortable and spacious.

Beds were comfy, plenty of towels. It was in a perfect location and good to have its own parking. The welcome basket was lovely. The outside space was good with variety of seating to catch the sun. We really could have done with spare toilet rolls and dishwasher tablets; there weren't enough of either for a family of four for a week. We would also have liked some basic cleaning products. Overall a brilliant holiday and we would return.

Had a lovely stay

Lovely cottage with everything you need .

Lots of attention to detail . Comfy beds and lovely large towels . Great location . Thoughtful welcome hamper .

Hot tap in down stairs toilet needs repair was same last year.

TV in dining room broken Central heating kept coming on could not find thermostat to stop . Minor issues love this house will stay again

We have been visiting Northumberland for decades and this is our favourite find!

Just wish it was available over the holidays… Highly recommend!

We enjoyed a lovely relaxing stay at Anchor Cottage.

Very comfortable beds! well equipped and had everything you needed. Great location just a stones throw from the village, harbour and beach. Off street parking a bonus.

Love your cottage, thank you so much for the basket full of welcome goodies

Great cottage, will be back!

We loved the nice homely feeling of the property and the open fires were a bonus.

Thank you for a lovely stay in this home away from home for a girly weekend.

The location is great and we are all individually looking forward to returning with our families! A great start to 2020 for us all!

Booked as a last minute mini getaway at half term.

We arrived as Storm Dennis did, but we were in a cosy house and beautiful surroundings to take advantage of blue skies and sunshine when it came. Perfect locations, great facilites nearby, good base to explore the Northumberland coastline. Thank you for providing a homely getaway!

Beautifully kept, clean and well stocked.

Very comfortable beds. An excellent place to stay.

A comfortable property in the centre of Seahouses.

It had everything we needed.

Anchor Cottage was ideally located near to all that Seahouses has to offer but was also quiet.

The property is cosy, clean with lovely decor. Everything needed for an enjoyable and relaxing break was provided.

We loved this house - so comfortable and plenty of room for everyone.

Lovely beds! Beautiful location for exploring this lovely coastline. Highlight was seeing a Minke whale on the Farne Island Boat Trip. What a great holiday!

The loveliest little cottage, warm, cosy and welcoming and a perfect base for discovering wonderful Northumbrian coastal magic.

Our first visit and we have completely fallen in love so it won't be our last - we can't wait to come back!

We are so glad we found this lovely cottage in a place we love.

Can't wait to come back again soon. Thank you.

Lovely property, very well maintained and equipped.

Great location for beach and amenities. Beds and sofas very comfortable, a real home from home. Would definitely book again.

Thoroughly enjoyed Anchor Cottage - comfortable, cosy and spacious.

A great holiday and a wonderful time in Northumberland. Thank you

A lovely comfortable, well appointed cottage with everything we needed.

We will return.

We loved this cottage, which was spacious yet cozy.

It had everything we could need and we were very comfortable. The location was good, with the sea at the end of the road. We would definitely stay there again.

Everything we needed in this lovely, homely cottage.

The most amazing scenery in Northumberland. Lots of walking and really lovely weather. A must is the walk from Beadnell to Low Newton, had a pint in the Ship Inn. Thank you.

Would definitely recommend this cottage to family and friends.

A proper home away from home, with everything you needed. A lovely touch having the welcome hamper and enjoyed a cosy open fire. Thank you.

Cosy and Comfortable cottage in Seahouses, in a very nice place.

Visited Alnwick, Amble, Warkworth and Beadnell. Weather not too bad also. Thank you.

A very relaxing stay in Anchor Cottage - Extremely comfortable and spacious - complete with fabulous Northumbrian Sunshine!

Thank you

Lovely place.

Great location, very comfortable and well equipped! Will return!

Lovely cottage in a great location.

Loved Bamburgh & the Beaches especially.

We really enjoyed our stay in Northumberland.

We went on a boat trip and played mini golf. Everything is so close by so we got to places really quickly. IT WAS GREAT! Granddaughter Anya aged 7 years has said it all. We strongly recommend, lovely time.

Absolutely loved our mini break at Anchor Cottage.

Delightful property, quiet, cosy yet spacious and amazingly comfortable beds. Was lovely that the house was warm on arrival. We enjoyed the log fire and playing some of the many games. So nice that hairdryers were available for each room - a must for the teens/young adults to get ready. Beautiful Sunday lunch at the Craster Arms and great food at the Bamburgh Castle Inn (both dog friendly.) Will definitely return.

Brilliant Holiday!

Cottage lovely. Great location, very quiet, comfy beds. Had everything we needed. Board games were a bonus!

Had a great week, excellent cottage.

Will definitely come again thank you for a great holiday.

Thank you for your lovely cottage, it's got everything you need for a relaxing stay.

The welcome pack was a lovely thought. Seahouses & Bamburgh are just beautiful. I have never walked so much with so lovely scenery.

Thank you for providing everything one would need.

Comfy beds - lovely towels. Thank you for the generous hamper! Stayed in Beadnell last year but this was excellent will recommend. Handy for everything in Seahouses and easy to visit surrounding areas. Fergus felt at home as he can be anxious away from home. (Would recommend Morris & Plumley in Alnwick if you require a Vet - we had to take Fergus and they were so nice!)

A really lovely week!

Really lovely cottage, with everything you need. In a fabulous position for all that this amazing coastline has to offer. Great walks, scenery and history! Thanks for the gift basket, it was a lovely welcome surprise.

An excellent week at Anchor Cottage.

The cottage is very homely and comfortable. The beds very comfortable and the bedrooms were spacious with plenty of storage. The owners have catered for all visitors and provide games, books etc for all ages. The welcome basket was a lovely touch, with quality products. Rufus the puppy was on his first holiday to the seaside and definitely needed to relax each evening at Anchor Cottage after a hectic day!

Lovely cottage, very much enjoyed our stay here.

Very comfy beds and appreciated the warmth when we arrived. Thank you for the welcome basket! Our Grandson really enjoyed the wealth of games provided. Our best cottage is Seahouses by far!

We've had a lovely short break.

The cottage is lovely and clean. It's felt like home.

2nd time here, feels like home.

Arrived to a warm cosy house and a lovely welcome pack, thank you. Experienced some stunning walks on the beaches, plus an early morning run on the beach with woody. Ate at The Black Swan three times, lovely food, gorgeous Sunday lunch - the best we've ever had! The chef here really knows how to cook. See the staff here are really lovely. We'll be returning to the area and hopefully the cottage. Hoping to visit the Farne Islands and join in the local wild swimming groups next time. Sadly returning home tomorrow . Thank you.

We think is one of the most relaxing weeks we've spent in a while.

This cosy comfortable cottage is extremely well equipped and spacious. Well situated to explore the beautiful surroundings. A warm welcome. yummy welcome pack, luxury beds. Peace and fresh air. What more could you want! Hopefully we will be back. Thank you.

It is a comfy and all round amazing house.

Very peaceful and calm. Would recommend.

Third visit of the year and still loving Anchor Cottage and it's fab location!

Rest assured - we'll be back!

Lovely cottage, very comfortable & fully equipped.

Great location, ideal for visiting Lindisfarne. Would recommend to friends and family. Can't wait to come back again soon!!!

Our second visit to Anchor Cottage and we enjoyed out visit again!

The cottage is well equipped, excellent location and parking which is a bonus in Seahouses. I am sure we will be back again!!

This was our 3rd visit to Anchor Cottage - loved the refurbed bathroom and the new cooker.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - perfect location for exploring the area. Weather was quite chilly but no rain (as originally forecast) so we were out and about every day. Fabulous beach walks. We will be back again.

A very comfortable and well equipped cottage - excellent location for visiting all the local beaches and historic sites.

Would recommend the snug bar at the Ship Inn. Thank you for a lovely stay - loved the cottage.

Loved the cottage - everything we needed was supplied.

Recommend a visit to Alnwick loved our boat ride to Farne Islands and Bamburgh castle. Thank you very much!

Thank you for a wonderful stay, we have loved our time in Seahouses.

Lovely cottage, great for families and well kitted out would definitely recommend and stay here again!

A brilliant house.

So good to be close to the town. Lighthouse boat trip was great & Grace Darling museum on the wet morning.

Great cottage, perfect location and lovely welcome basket!

thanks.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this beautiful little house.

The location is amazing! Thanks!

Have stayed in Seahouses many times.

Anchor Cottage best we have stayed. Lovely cottage well equipped and great location.

Thank you for a fantastic time in your beautiful cottage.

Everything we needed - plus a welcome basket! Have always enjoyed visits to this part of the country - younger ones enjoy the beaches + rock pools. Older ones the food, bars etc. Hope to come back again - will definitely recommend Anchor Cottage!

Fabulous cottage.

So well equipped, so beautifully presented but also so homely! In a great central location. Smokehouse was a favourite as were the local beaches. Will be back!

Lovely, Beautiful Cottage!

For others staying we recommend the following: The fish n chips on the high street - is the best! (the one opposite Methodist church). The Indian take away next to this is very good too. Would highly recommend cocktail hour at The Black Swan Inn (3pm - 6pm). The Bamburgh Castle Inn is great with brilliant roast on Sundays. The coffee shop in Bamburgh is lovely and also reasonable! "Wyndenwell cafe". Barter Books, both Gardens and Castle at Alnwick are all definitely worth your visit. We saw baby seals on boat trip around island and Holy Island is beautiful (with more great coffee and food places ) You can see what we have done on our holiday!!

Lovely week in Seahouses.

Comfy cottage, plenty of room. maintenance comments entered into the book.

We will be back!

What a lovely cottage. Our first time in Seahouses - very pleased. Wonderful walks!! Can recommend the Black Swan - delicious evening meals & excellent service. Thank you for our lovely holiday.

What a joy to be back in Seahouses!

I was born in Beadnell, spent the first five years there before family moved to Gateshead. So many happy memories, parents brought my sisters and I here every year for Summer holidays (which seemed to go on forever!!) Cottage is lovely, you have thought of everything! Hope to be back next year. A brilliant combination of traditional cottage features (stripped pine doors, floorboards, open fires) and all the quality appliances for modern living. Plus, a fantastic range of books, CD's, DVD's and toys to suit visitors of all ages and interests. Thank you so much.

Another fab stay at Anchor Cottage, said it before, saying it again- it is like a home from home.

Hope to see/ stay again soon!

Comfortable cottage- warm & everything needed.

Alnwick & Warkworth worth a visit as well as the usual suspects. A bit worried about the lone gannet on the inner farne.

Our 4th time in Anchor Cottage and we've already booked again for 2026.

It's a home from home & ideally located for Bamburgh, Beadnell, Alnwick & Holy Island- all musts on our places to visit. Good weather this week which always helps. Recommend Lewis' for fish and chips - the Beach House for a nice meal out.

Another lovely stay at Anchor Cottage.

Welcome pack was a lovely gesture. It is just like a home from home but with the sea & wonderful scenery. The dolphins didn't let us down, we saw them 3 times throughout the week. We will be back.

Thank you for a really lovely stay here in Anchor Cottage.

Great location, cosy, warm and homely. A great place for our first holiday since welcoming our daughter. I'm sure we will be back! Lovely touch with the welcome hamper too. Rachel, Tom and Winnie

Our first visit to Anchor Cottage what a treat!

Warm, very comfortable, clean and well equipped. We count ourselves very lucky the cottage we have stayed in for the last 3 years was cancelled 3 weeks before our holiday- fortunately my daughter found Anchor Cottage it suited us so well. Hopefully we will be back next year. We appreciated the welcome basket- thank you

What a lovely welcome, thank you.

We have a had a fantastic stay at Anchor Cottage, such a lovely well equipped cottage in a great location. We will definitely return.

What a lovely cottage, fully equipped.

The little welcome basket which included dishwasher & washing tablets a nice touch, thank you! :-) This is a lovely quiet location, central for all shopping, eating, amenities & the harbour/beach. Beautiful stay, would stay here again. We lit the fire too there was enough fuel to have beautiful cosy fire. Thank you (I cleaned it out too)

This was our 5th stay in Anchor cottage and we've already booked for June 2027.

We love it here- the house is 'home from home' and is perfectly located for us. We love our walks to Bamburgh and Beadnell & enjoy local pubs & restaurants particularly The Beach House for food. Looking forward to our next visit.

Another amazing stay at Anchor Cottage.

We just can't keep away when we come to Seahouses. It's like home from home with beautiful scenery. Thanks again for the lovely hamper. We will definitely return.
