“After a very enjoyable week we have nothing but praise for the cottage and surrounding area.”

- Paul, August 2024
Ralph July 2024

“On the positive side harness lodge was very clean and tidy with comfy beds and sofas.”

On the negative side, the toilet flush got stuck occasionally and the main shower head didn't work. Also the volume on the TV didn't work properly (could not turn the volume down). It was a very nice touch to have the use of a tennis court during our stay.

“Lovely.place, very comfortable and not far from beautiful beaches.”

Nice gardens and a tennis court too. The owner presented us with a bottle of wine. Only downside was lack of Internet as WiFi had been turned off and owner couldn't be contacted. Definitely recommend. Tranquil surroundings and not for from Seahouses.

“Apart from a little hiccup with the central heating not working and arriving to an exceptionally cold house, we were pretty soon equipped with oil radiators which absolutely did the trick.”

Everyone was exceptionally helpful cannot fault the service given. The cottage is set in a beautiful location very quiet and 2 mins from Seahouses, 3 minutes from Bamburgh, lovely welcome pack from the owners cottage very cosy, with everything you could possibly need to live very comfortable. Home from home. Would recommend this cottage as said at the beginning only hiccup no central heating so was a bit dissapointed to arrive late in the day to a freezing cold house but Mike the maintenance man and the two ladies who came the day after to see if we were coping was so helpful and a big thank you to them for going that extra mile to make it a good holiday. I have to say we was offered other accommodation but the cottage was so lovely and the heaters Mike brought worked a treat so no we didn't take up the offer of other accommodation as the place was just so lovely

“Thank you for making arrangements for changing the bed sheet and pillows in the top bunk bed.”

We enjoyed our stay and the welcome pack and wine was great. The pictures do not do the cottage justice in terms of surroundings. It was much more than what we expected. Feedback based on our stay: 1) The toilet bin lid was broken when we arrived and the toothbrush holder was not working properly. 2) The were mice running in the attic all night which made it difficult to sleep, I totally understand it’s a converted barn and mice will always make their way into an old building, but it’s not great when you are a light sleeper 3) The lack of an actual clothes line or rotary line was frustrating when we wanted to reuse our bath towels and costumes. The drier was unable to take more than one towel at a time to dry and it wasn’t economical to use. 4) The doors in the sitting room were too stiff to open onto the small seating area 5) The toilet button stuck several times but bounced back again after a while 6) We were thrilled to have been able to use the tennis court 7) The directions to the cottage were difficult to follow after we took the road off Broad Street. The directions should have read take the first right as the directions which we followed led us to Elford Farm. We did not follow the postcode as you advised. And coming from Seahouses we always ended up arriving back at the cottage and owners house on the right not left.

“The cottage exceeded our expectations we enjoyed every minute.”

The area was extremely scenic and we will definitely return. The Locals were very friendly and there were lots of good places to eat in both Seahouses and Bamburgh.

“We had a lovely relaxing stay at Harness Lodge.”

The property was spacious, clean and very well equipped. The only downside was the noisy extractor in the bathroom.

“Full length mirror.”

Scissors. Matches. Salt and pepper would help.

The property

Settled in the pretty coastal village of Seahouses in Northumberland, is this lovely two-bedroom stable conversion, Harness Lodge.

Enjoying a superb location within the Northumberland Coast AONB, with easy access to the National Trust – Farne Island and Alnwick, Harness Lodge is a fantastic dog-friendly choice for couples or a family of four.

The property benefits from two off-road parking spaces, a private front patio with furniture, ideal for alfresco dining, and access to the open gardens.

Step into the well-equipped kitchen/diner, where you can look forward to cooking up your best dishes, ready to savour at the dining table for four over a celebratory bottle of fizz.

After dinner, to the welcoming sitting room, where you can curl up on the plush seating and select a much-loved film on the TV, as your pooch curls up by the crackling woodburning stove.

Continue through to find a well-appointed bathroom, where you can relax with a soak in the bath or freshen up under the overhead shower.

When sleep calls, two tastefully decorated bedrooms await, a double and a bunk room, ideal for catching some well-deserved rest.

Wander through the town, where you can treat your loved ones to a meal out at Insieme, Indian Brasserie, and Black Swan Inn, stock up on essentials at the convenience store, spend a day at the beach, or catch a boat out to the National Trust- Farne Island. Once at Farne Islands, you can spot the local wildlife of birds and grey seals depending on the time of year or take to the waters via sea kayak or diving.

Next stop is Bamburgh, where you can tour the RNLI Grace Darling Museum, visit the fascinating Bamburgh Castle and Bamburgh Lighthouse, text out your swing at the excellent Bamburgh Golf Club, or sample fresh seafood at The Potted Lobster.

Further afield, you can enjoy the delights of Alnwick, home to a magnificent castle renowned for its appearance throughout the Harry Potter film series, the picturesque Hulne Park and Alnwick Gardens, and the Bailiffgate Museum.

All this and more awaits at Harness Lodge.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
