The Old Cart Shed is a traditional stone-built cottage in Seahouses, Northumberland, updated with modern comforts. It sleeps four across two bedrooms, both with en-suite or Jack-and-Jill access to a bathroom. The open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner has high vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, giving the space a bright, airy feel that guests often mention first.

Seahouses sits on the Northumberland coast, close to Bamburgh and within reach of Beadnell Bay. Boat trips to the Farne Islands leave from Seahouses harbour, a good spot to watch seals and seabirds. Guests can walk into the village and along the beach towards Bamburgh Castle, with a good choice of dog-friendly pubs and restaurants nearby.

The main bedroom has a super-king-size bed and its own en-suite shower room. The second bedroom has a king-size zip-and-link bed, which can be made up as twin beds on request and shares a family bathroom via Jack-and-Jill access. Both bedrooms have small TVs and plenty of storage. The living space includes a wood burner, a wall-mounted Smart TV and a dining area seating four, plus a large gable window with French doors opening onto the garden.

Farne Islands boat trips depart from Seahouses harbour, a short walk from the cottage. Bamburgh Castle is 3 miles away (around 10 minutes by car), with its sandy beach and the Grace Darling Museum in the village. Beadnell Bay lies 4 miles off (roughly 12 minutes), a base for water sports with views towards Dunstanburgh Castle. Seahouses Beach itself is 1.5 miles away, walkable or a short drive.

This is a solid base for families or couples with dogs who want the Northumberland coast on their doorstep. The south-facing enclosed patio garden is safe for pets and good for outdoor dining, while underfloor heating keeps things cosy after a day at the beach. The Old Cart Shed puts castles, coastline and wildlife all within easy reach. Check your dates today for a coastal break in Northumberland.
