Wamses Retreat is a ground-floor apartment for two, set right on Seahouses Harbourfront in Northumberland. This is a coastal spot built for couples rather than families, with one double bedroom and a shower room. Panoramic sea views reach every window and the open-plan living space has wall-to-wall patio-style glass looking straight out to sea.

Seahouses sits on the Northumberland coast, a working harbour village with boats heading out daily. Two comfy chairs face the window with binoculars in mind, so watching the water becomes part of the stay. Guests have spotted dolphins from the apartment and on clear nights the aurora borealis has shown up too. Village shops and restaurants are just over 150 metres away, so you're never far from a meal out.

The downstairs double bedroom has a window seat with sea views, open-hanging space and a wall-mounted TV. The shower room includes a walk-in shower and WC. Upstairs the kitchen is contemporary, with an air fryer, Nespresso machine and dishwasher, plus a breakfast bar with stools. A wide balcony with a bistro set gives you somewhere to eat outside while looking at the water and there's bench seating out front too.

The sandy beach is just over 300 metres away, perfect for coastal walks. Bamburgh Castle is 3.5 miles along the coastal path (around 10 minutes by car). Beadnell Bay is 3 miles off, good for water sports and dining. Farne Islands boat trips run from the harbour, taking visitors out to see grey seals and, in spring, puffins. A parking permit for Seahouses Harbour Car Park is included.

Couples wanting sea views without leaving the sofa will love this one. Wamses Retreat puts you right on the harbour, close to the beach, with wildlife on your doorstep and the Farne Islands just a boat ride away. Check your dates for a memorable coastal break in Seahouses.
