“A well positioned apartment in the main high street with good off road parking.”

Ideal for the coop which is just over the road . Good positioning for walks to Bamburgh Castle approximately 3.5 miles and Beadnell Bay approximately 1.5 miles. Bus service is available but only a few buses per day. Fish and chips from Neptune’s restaurant were delicious and very good portions. The Bamburgh Castle Hotel food was excellent although service at busy times was a little slow . The only downside of Coastal Heaven apartment was that in the main bedroom the curtains need to be lined with blackout lining , with there being a street light directing outside of the bedroom window shining in all night it was very difficult to get a goodnight sleep . Apart from this a very well spacious and comfortable apartment.

“The property is in an ideal location and very nice in itself and we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday, however there are a few issues we encountered on our stay which didnt ruin the holiday for us but did cause inconveniences.”

Firstly the good things about this apartment is its very spacious, has literally everything you need when it comes to having an enjoyable and convenient holiday. Its VERY spacious, the beds are huge and very comfortable. Right in the heart of seahouses and all amenities are accessible within a 5 minute walk. All kitchen amenities you could need: Integrated fridge freezer, washer/dryer, microwave, oven, spacious counter tops. There were a few cons: Firstly the doors throughout the apartment dont shut properly, either they dont shut at all or they get stuck on the frame of the latch just doesnt work, which we had a 1 year old who had access to the tap in the bathroom which was abit of a risk for us. However we were out for the majority of the time so not a huge issue but is a safety risk and should be adressed. Secondly the shower was blocked and kept leaking within 5 minutes of the shower being on which was a bit of an inconvenience with us having several beach days, i did take apart the plug and clean it out and it had lots of built up hair and gunk which should be cleaned ready for arrival. There wasnt a mop for us to clean the toilet, bathroom and kitchen, understandably the cleaners will have this equipment but we like to clean up after ourselves and struggled without a mop, and also the hoover wasnt very strong and with the wire being only a few meters lo no we had to plug it in to several plugs to be able to cover the full apartment. Outside noise, my wife struggled to sleep due to the amount of noise the windows allow through, triple glazed windows would reduce the noise that does get through. The tv remote for the main tv kept stopping working and starting again which wasnt a dealbreaker as we only wanted the tv on for the baby to keep her occupied during meals etc so not a huge issue but something that shouldnt be an issue. The childrens bedroom window had quite alot of dead flies on there so didnt seem as if it was cleaned adequately. The microwave when we used it to heat babies bottles started to smoke which seemed like abit of a safety risk so we used pans instead. The carpets in majority of rooms was full of dog hairs and when kids were on floor playing ended up covered in dog hairs, i understand the apartment is pet friendly but there should be some attempt to clear as much as possible because it took 3 wash cycles to get the dog hairs out. Just a disclaimer that these issues would not stop us returning and this is a lovely apartment for all manners of guests to stay and i would recommend people to look into staying, but for these issues to be appropriately addressed i needed to bring them to attention. We would be more than happy to return hopefully to these issues being addressed and sorted. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will most likely come back, as said the above issues werent dealbreakers for us it is a very lovely apartment.

- Tom, August 2025

Very sorry to hear you had some issues with the apartment. The Agency manage the property and being located in the office below this could have been reported easily in order for these issues to be dealt with quickly. Property Owner

“Six of us stayed for a week in Seahouses in a large maisonette in the centre of town.”

The rooms were big and there was plenty of space. There was a full kitchen, which we were able to make good use of. It was in an excellent location in the centre of town. Unfortunately though there were crumbs on dining table and chairs when we arrived. There was no soap for bathroom even though dishwasher tablets were provided. The plug in torch in main bedroom didn't work and you can't tilt one of blinds in the bedroom. The toilet and bathroom door locks aren't child safe as they can't be unlocked from outside. There was a patch of damp on wall in twin bedroom. It was hard/impossible to close some of the doors. It was surprisingly quiet at night even though it was on a main street which is very busy in the day. The extractor fan noise in living room from the nearby Indian restaurant can be quite loud. It was very good having two parking spaces in the centre of town. We had a good time, but feel that the state of the property did spoil our experience.

“This was just what we wanted and needed right on the main street all the shops, restaurants and pubs were in a 5 minute walk from the cottage the cottage was clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped.”

- John Stephen, July 2025

“Lovely property in a good location at a sensible price.”

Overall it could only be faulted on one issue - the curtains/blinds weren't substantial enough to keep out the bright sunny days we have had. Difficult to sleep beyond 6am.

- Stephen, July 2025
Sheila May 2025

“Really enjoyed staying at the property.”

The space was great and facilities good. Sofas and beds really comfortable, good to have a proper dining table. Kitchen well equipped and we weren't disturbed by outside noise. Location was great and having 2 parking spaces was good.

- Sheila, May 2025

“Great flat.”

So spacious and in a super position.

- Emma, May 2025
Marilyn April 2025

“Lovely apartment.”

Clean and all facilities. In a handy spot with parking too. The downside is that it's very noisy from 5.30 in the morning . Coop opersite open from 7 until 10 and lots of cars left with engines running directly under bedroom windows. Could do with triple glazing to cut out noise as closing windows had little effect. Downside of this was that it made bedrooms too hot.Street lamp directly outside bedrooms too and curtains too thin to block out light. Rooms lit up all night so difficult to sleep.

- Marilyn, April 2025
Jayne November 2024

“Apartment was clean, warm & comfortable.”

I don’t think the list mentioned hairdryer but there was one in bedroom. Could have done with a clothes airer as nowhere to dry anything. Location was great and as we expected. Some thought should be given as to somewhere to put make up on, dry hair etc but that’s being picky. Overall everything was good.

We mentioned twice in the office the noisy humming of an extractor fan, heard all evening in lounge, but fortunately not in bedrooms We were told no one else had mentioned this, but even with the radio on we could still hear it We had to go out in the evening to get away from the continuous drumming noise

“Our stay in the coastal haven was perfect, a lovely spacious clean property.”

Michael May 2024

“Excellent property.”

Great space, beds were very comfortable, and all round great facilities. Only thing that could have improved our stay was if there was a stair gate at the top of the stairs. Plus having two keys! Overall, we loved the property and the location. Would highly recommend!

- Michael, May 2024
Patricia May 2024

“Very spacious property in the centre of town close to shops, restaurants and beach.”

Windows above the street but didn’t hear any noise through the night. Clean and modern kitchen and bathroom. Would have liked information leaflets on the area i.e. bus timetables, places to visit, what’s on as there is no tourist information in Seahouses.

- Patricia, May 2024
Douglas March 2024

“Nice for short break nice clean tidy flat handy parking at rear of the property, handy for anything being in the main street meals or filled breakfast rolls would definitely book again.”

Thank you Douglas

Samantha February 2024

“Second stay here because the location and space is fantastic.”

Beds comfortable and spotlessly clean. Just a few things need sorting... The switch on the kettle is broken, still working but needs replacing. TV in sitting room had funny blotches over the screen. Admittedly we don't travel to Seahouses to watch TV but not really 4 star standard. Also pillows seen better days. Love the flat and will stay again. It just feels a little unloved.

- Samantha, February 2024

Otherwise it was perfect .

John August 2023

“This was our second stay at Coastal Haven.”

Fantastic location with off-road parking, we only used the car a couple of times. The apartment itself is very comfortable, but could benefit from a lick of paint. Co-op is directly opposite so nice and handy but be warned deliveries during the week early morning can be an unwelcome wake up. This wouldn’t put us off visiting again as the location is spot on, centre of Seahouses, great for walks either way towards Beadnell or Bamburgh and handy for the bus stop. Also no issues at all with WIFI as other reviews had mentioned, would come again!

- John, August 2023
Janet August 2023

“Nicely furnished but lacked 'welcome'.”

The food/drink pack was adequate but no soap pawder for the washing machine, no liquid soap and separate towel in the bathroom and winter weight duvets on the single and king beds and the separated king bed had king duvets doubled and put into single covers!! Visitors do not want to spend their first evening remaking beds. The owner appears more interested in his/her profit than their visitors comfort & enjoyment. The office staff and cleaning team were a delight to meet and do an exellent job.

- Janet, August 2023
Nicola May 2023

“We enjoyed our stay at Coastal Haven, and found the property to be of a very satisfactory standard, the reason we have gave 3 for cleanliness is that some of the dishes in cupboard hadn't been washed properly and were still covered in food,maybe this needs checked in the future.”

Pam February 2023

“The property has recently changed hands and there were some teething problems.”

Some of my requests hadn't been received and it took 3 days to get the wifi working properly. Also some small maintenance issues. But otherwise a cosy, spacious and pleasant place to stay in and I would recommend it. Beautiful area with stunning coastline.

- Pam, February 2023
Carol December 2022

“This is our fourth visit to this property and we didn’t find it to the standard it usually is.”

The beds were really uncomfortable, mattresses are needing replaced. There were a few kitchen items missing or broken, which we reported. The wifi did not work for any part of our stay. There were a lot of stains on the carpets. We enjoyed our stay in Seahouses as we always do but we were disappointed in our accommodation this year.

“Lovely flat.”

Perfect for our week’s stay with children, brother and sister-in-law and their dog. Clean with all the facilities you need for a holiday. Great location opposite the co-op and near the fantastic bakers. Really tasty fish and chips from down the road and great to be in walking distance of the sea and the coastal footpaths.

“The apartment was ideal for us.”

It had everything we needed and more. Good quality tasteful furniture and fittings. The beds were all really comfortable and the linen was of a high quality. It was the perfect base for us to explore Seahouses and the surrounding areas and we'd definitely recommend it to anyone wishing to visit the area. We really appreciated the 'extra' touches of milk in the fridge, yummy biscuits and tea/coffee all there on our arrival. Thank you!
