A colourful Northumberland fishing village, Seahouses is a beautiful base for a coastal escape. Popular with couples, friends and families throughout the spring and summer months, the village is the ideal springboard for activities ranging from walking to windsurfing and everything in between. Our Gurus’ pick of the best places to stay in Seahouses highlights two family-friendly favourites, perfect for summer holidays together.
Discover Northumberland’s striking coastline on foot, roaming along big sandy beaches and following footpaths through the grassy dunes for fabulous views. Take buckets and spades to go rock pooling with the kids, or try body boarding, sailing and windsurfing. Boat trips to the Farne Islands, where puffins gather in the warmer months, are brilliant fun, too.
Curious culture enthusiasts can visit Bamburgh Castle and Alnwick Castle, admire Longstone Lighthouse, or tour Cragside House and Gardens. Play a round at Seahouses Golf Club, take the little ones to crazy golf, or feast on fish and chips by the seashore. The best places to stay in Seahouses are within walking distance of two beautiful beaches: Beadnell Bay and Bamburgh, perfect for one more race along the sand before the sun sets.
