“We love Lobster Lodge and have stayed numerous times over the years, Seahouses holds a very special place in our hearts.”

Perfect location and the views over the harbour are incredible, perfect if you fancy a lazy day and watching the comings and goings in the harbour. Everything you could need and more, the cotton bedding and egyptian cotton towels are an added bonus. Will be back again next year.

“Lovely accommodation and fantastic views over the harbour.”

Only one criticism is the size of the headroom in the upstairs toilet but it would not stop us going again. Special shout out to the staff in the Seahouses office who were extremely helpful.

“The accommodation was lovely and clean and welcoming.”

There were some goodies as a welcome pack. Views were lovely and the beds comfortable. A perfect location for our family holiday.

James August 2025

“Super home in the perfect position.”

Views over the harbour are wonderful and literally a stone's throw from the everything. Seahouses is a great base for a holiday in Northumberland and Lobster Lodge an excellent choice with plenty of space and very comfortable.

- James, August 2025
Jane August 2025

“Lovely place, thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the only suggestion i can make, is the keys, i was looking for them near the door, you could say they are located on the wall near the gate.”

- Jane, August 2025
Yvonne August 2025

“Lobster cottage is a lovely place to stay lots of interesting things to do in that area.”

Beautiful setting with sea views. Very comfortable for large groups plenty of space . Well equipped in the kitchen everything you need to cater for larger groups plenty of crockery cutlery glasses utensils ect. Nice and clean all round ,very comfortable beds . Two things which are not a complaint as it didn't in any way spoil our holiday. The previous people hadn't put the black bin out hence it was full on arrival and the freezer was iced up it was unusable , just admin things really just need checking. But I would certainly recommend Lobster cottage and would go there again as we had a wonderful and comfortable holiday enjoyed the whole week there.

Sandra May 2025

“Perfect situation with fabulous views overlooking the harbour.”

Good garage parking, but a lot of stairs as the property is on four floors, so not suitable for anyone waiting for a hip/knee replacement. A well cared for property, very thoughtful welcome pack.

- Sandra, May 2025
Hannah April 2025

“A lovely place to stay, the views are exceptional from the balcony and top floor.”

It has a well equipped kitchen and appreciated extras being provided of milk, tea/coffee and biscuits on arrival. Perfect location for taking a boat to the Farne islands to see the puffins and beautiful walks along the coast.

- Hannah, April 2025
David December 2024

“3rd Xmas in a row we just love it here and probably our 7th or 8th stay in total Negative this time was we left behind a cap scarf and gloves !”

Would it be possible for you to post these back please ? Kind regards Dave

Diane October 2024

“Great place to stay beautiful views from the window and very well equipped More information on getting in would be useful as trying to find which is the right place when driving along Harbour rd was tricky.”

The entrance to get the keys is well away from the drive in entrance and the key safe is in the opposite wall from the front door and quite well concealed in the brickwork, glad we arrived in daylight

“There is the possibility of 2 cars being in the garage we fitted 2 in with ease”

“What a lovely welcoming home a beautiful view.”

The hosts have thought of everything providing everything you need and the welcome pack of bread butter jam milk and biscuits was a lovely touch. Also tea coffee sugar for a drink when you arrive.

Amount of Stairs were the only drawdown for those with limited mobility.

“The property was very clean and had everything we needed.”

The little extras in the kitchen were welcome. Great views and we enjoyed seeing the lifeboat going out on training.

Amanda April 2024

“We had a lovely holiday, the house was very nice , the view was amazing.”

It was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. It was very convenient and a short walk to shops and restaurants. My only criticism is that the property would benefit from updating.

- Amanda, April 2024
Kevin March 2024

“We had a fantastic family holiday at the apartment.”

It is in a perfect position. Views were amazing looking across the harbour with waves crashing against the sea walls. Stunning. Central in the town and with three pubs within yards.What’s not to like.. The apartment was well maintained and had plenty of kitchen equipment, crockery etc to satisfy our needs. The groceries that were left for us were appreciated. We used the basement garage which was handy for putting one car in and the cycles. Parking was handy at both entrances. Just two small matters. Under the double bed downstairs there was accumulated dust which we mentioned to the cleaners and on the last day a slight smell of oil coming from below. Other than that perfect.

“Whilst the property is in an excellent position and the views from the lounge dinning/kitchen area are wonderful the other parts of the property somewhat fall short.”

The house looks tired and in need of a redecoration, the twin bedroom on the first floor,the paint work on the walls are marked and looked grubby. The small single bedroom didn't actually work for us, the window wall and window was showing signs of mould.And It wasn't possible to leave the window open in the room as the fumes and smell of oil was coming in!our son that who was supposedly staying couldn't stay in the room and slept in the lounge! The spa shower in the bath didn't work. The toilet on the third floor wasn't really suitable unless you were under 4,6 feet in hight,or you were a contortionist and didn't mind burning your head on the ceiling light. The staircase up to the third floor in my opinion was a bit dodgy, it has a single hand rail on one side which wasn't the issue. However the stair riser on the left hand side purtrudes above the floor level and is a trip hazard. As I said previously, the position of the property and the views from the lounge are excellent, but the rest of the property let's it down.

Emma October 2023

“Amazing cottage for a family of three generations - and two four legged friends - views are spectacular - if it’s lucky enough to be vacant for when we plan our holiday next year - it will deffo be on our list!”

Thank you for the great stay (and bonus welcome pack for humans and dogs was very very welcomed and a lovely surprise touch)

- Emma, October 2023
Ann September 2023

“The lounge is beatiful and the view stunning.”

The kitchen is good and well-equipped particularly butter, milk, salt, pepper, dishwasher tablets, washer tablets etc etc, When we rented it we knew there was a lot of stairs. We didn't know that there was a lack of hand rails. Particularly the stairs going up to top floor with only a hand rail on the wall side and even going downstairs to the bedrooms the hand rails do not run the whole length. These should be in the pictures particularly the stairs going to the top floor. The bedrooms are not as well maintained and there is a damp issue in the double bedroom.

David June 2023

“Extremely clean and well kept.”

We had a very relaxing holiday ,lovey view. Comfortable lounge and bed.

- David, June 2023
Helen June 2023

“Overall it was a really convenient place to stay.”

Was nice to see there were tea towels and soap / washing up liquid provided (even though the instructions say not) - and the milk and biscuits were unexpected and much appreciated

Norman April 2023

“Could'nt work the tv remotes”

- Norman, April 2023
Alison April 2023

“Loved the place and the whole lay out just a few things as we entered the property we had to wash.”

All the bowls again due to nit been clean and dirty clothes in the wardrobe left hanging so we had to bag it and leave it but the place itself was comfy and great location and outlook

- Alison, April 2023
Chris March 2023

“First and foremost, the location of this property was perfection for us; Fantastic views, proximity to shops & restaurants (1minute+) and great walks from the door.”

For that reason we would definitely return. Would-be renters should however, be aware that this property is on three floors and if mobility is in any way an issue, the stairs to the top floor (King-size bed) could be challenging. Also, you are two floors up from all the other bedrooms! We have teenage kids so they were happy for the space!! The property is generally well equipped although there were no books/games/puzzles (that we could find?) for rainy days. Property was really cold when we arrived but quickly warmed up with easy-to-use thermostat. Be really careful with the garage door buttons; our son accidentally pressed the large square button to the left of the light switches in the garage and hit our car parked outside! Not the greatest start to the holiday but no real harm done! Overall we really liked this property as the small negatives were vastly outweighed by positives. We hope to return again soon :))
