“Very nice, comfortable, well equiaxed property.”

Greta for access to a the facilities in Seahouses with 2 beaches in walking distance and also lots of others a short drive away. Great encased garden for the dog which is important. We are staying again in March next year and looking forward to it. The only thing I would change would be the benches at the kitchen table were very awkward to move and sit at with 2 people and would have been even more difficult with 6. I think chairs would be more practical and comfortable.

Glad that you had a nice stay and that you have booked again for next year. We would agree with you about the benches. They came with the house. However we are hoping to change one of them at some point for chairs. We find pulling it away from the wall helps when we have 6 round it. Property Owner
Sarah October 2024

“A beautiful place with ample parking, and a safe garden for the dog.”

A little welcome pack and treat jar for our dog, was lovely. Thank you. We had a very special stay!

- Sarah, October 2024

Glad you had a good stay. Thank you. Property Owner

“Great position near Seahouses centre.”

Very clean. spacious and well equipped. Very useful for us to have an EV charger.

- Robert, September 2024

Glad to hear you found the EV charger useful. Property Owner
Jeremy September 2024

“We really liked the property and found it very clean and well looked after.”

The facilities were excellent and the rear garden was certainly dog safe with good solid fencing all round so no fears of our bog “wandering off”. 5 minutes from the coastal path made dog walking a true joy. Will definitely revisit.

- Jeremy, September 2024

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you return again soon. Property Owner
Helen August 2024

Close to town.Been in many holiday houses and caravans and it's the best we have been in.

Thanks you for the nice feedback. Hope you come back again soon. Property Owner
Susan August 2024

“Loved our stay at Sans Souci again this year.”

Lovely house, situated back off the main road with ample parking right outside and well situated to access all the local amenities. The house was equipped with excellent facilities throughout, everything we needed for our weeks stay. Owners were attentive during the week and left a welcome basket on arrival which was much appreciated.

- Susan, August 2024

We are glad you had a great second stay. Thank you for leaving such a great review. Property Owner
Thomas July 2024

“Sans Souci was a home from home, everything you need.”

Beautifully decorated to a high standard. Lovely welcome pack on arrival, which was a nice gesture. There was even a ball and treats left for Willow and Mabel which they loved

- Thomas, July 2024

Glad Willow and Mabel enjoyed their treats and glad you all enjoyed your stay. Hope you come back soon. Property Owner
Jeff June 2024

“We enjoyed a fabulous stay at Sans Souci.”

The property is lovely, and very well equipped. The location is very central to all the amenities in Seahouses, short walk to shops, pubs, beaches etc. Thoroughly recommended.

- Jeff, June 2024
Lisa May 2024

“My family and I recently returned from a 5-day stay at San Souci Seahouses, and it was absolutely perfect.”

We stayed as a family of 5, including our dog Luna, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The house itself is beautifully decorated, with every detail carefully thought out by the owners. The upstairs bedrooms have walk-in wardrobes, and the downstairs bathroom even has a magnifier on the mirror. The kitchen is well-equipped with added extras, and the lounge features the comfiest couch we've ever had the pleasure of sitting on. The little welcome basket was a lovely gesture, Luna loved her ball for the beach -thank you. In terms of location, the house is just a short walk away from several charming little pubs where we enjoyed delicious lunches and dinners. The Coop, where we could get our essential groceries, was also just a few minutes away. Additionally, the harbour, where we discovered the most amazing donuts, was only a 5-minute walk from the house. And within a 10 minute walk, we found ourselves on the most picturesque beaches we've ever seen. Overall, this little hideaway was perfect for our family, and we can't wait to return in the future.

- Lisa, May 2024
Richard May 2024

“A lovely dog friendly property in a great location right in the centre of Seahouses but tucked away to be nice and peaceful.”

The property itself is well furnished and was spotless. Four of us stayed with two Jack Russell’s and we had a fantastic time. 2mins walk to the shops and some lovely pubs and only 5mins to the beech. The coastline is stunning! If you enjoy walking the coastal walks in this area and second to none!

- Richard, May 2024
Stephen May 2024

“Had a fabulous 60th birthday weekend celebration at San Souci.”

To say our friends were impressed on our choice was an understatement the accommodation was beautifully decorated and very modern and clean with everything we needed. The basket of goodies was really appreciated and a very special touch. The accommodation was central and it was great that we had parking spaces to use as Seahouses does get very congested . Would definitely return . There was only one minor thing in that the grass had not been cut and I had to clean down the garden furniture but that did not detract from our wonderful stay . Thank you again for making our weekend so special

- Stephen, May 2024

Glad to hear you had a great weekend celebrating. Sorry that the gardener wasn’t able to cut the grass prior to your stay. They have been battling the weather unfortunately. We will look to get a cover for the garden furniture to protect it from the elements. Property Owner
Julie April 2024

“Absolutely superb property in a brilliantly convenient location.”

So many added comforts such as a super-large sofa area, beds to sink into and a well-stocked kitchen. It worked perfectly for a multi-generational family with a bedroom and bathroom downstairs. Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful property and for the generous treats (including from our four-legged friends who are missing watching the seagulls on the garden fence a lot!)

- Julie, April 2024
Sally March 2024

“Lovely home which was spotlessly clean and situated in a quiet location in the centre of Seahouses.”

Really comfortable and beautifully furnished with a thoughtful welcome gift. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again.

- Sally, March 2024
Patricia March 2024

“We had a really good stay.”

The accommodation was perfect everything you needed was supplied- it was clean and very comfortable. The house was very near the local shops and places to eat - we tried the Black Swan which was excellent. Nice that the owners checked with us that all was ok. All in all a perfect place to stay .Would highly recommend.

- Patricia, March 2024
Catherine March 2024

“Excellent, if I was able to give more than five stars I certainly would.”

Could not fault this property at all. Unbelievably well equipped compared to anything else we have been to. There is everything you need for a day at the beach (even bucket and spade). There is nothing you will need for the kitchen, plenty of books and games for the wet days. The property is minutes from Seahouses and positioned in the middle of Beadnell and Bamburgh. We will definately be back.

- Catherine, March 2024
Dianne March 2024

“We stayed here for the weekend with our sons, their partners, and dog .”

We were all impressed with Sans Souci, it truly is a 5 star property. It was absolutely pristine, the beds were extremely comfortable with quality linens and the kitchen is equipped with everything you need . The living space is perfect for families or groups of friends and being able to access the utility room from the rear garden made it easy to keep everything clean after long walks on the beach . The jar of gravy bones for the dog was a nice touch. The house is ideally placed to walk to the beach, the golf course and several of the coastal paths. The Black Swan, a very nice dog friendly gastro pub is only 5 mins walk as are the shops. Scots, the local butcher, sell high quality meats and their sausages are fantastic. Rebecca and Richard, the owners of Sans Souci contacted us by phone on our arrival to check everything was ok and were contactable should we have needed anything. We will definitely be back .

- Dianne, March 2024

Lovely to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We hope you come back soon. Property Owner
Pearl Mar 2024

“It has been an absolute pleasure to stay in your extremely modern, yet cosy and comfortable property.”

The standard of cleanliness and facilities were excellent and well above our expectations. There was nothing extra we needed that wasn’t readily available in the property. It is in a great location off the main road in a secluded and quiet cul-de-sac, yet close to everything that Seahouses has to offer and within easy distance to some great places of significant interest. We have had a wonderful holiday and can’t recommend Sans Souci highly enough.

- Pearl, Mar 2024
Jennifer February 2024

“Great house.”

Has everything you could need. All the interior finished to a very high standard. Beds very comfortable. Everything very clean. Nespresso machine, washer / dryer available to use. Electric charger for car also available via an app. Literally 5 minutes walk to shops and pubs, 10 minutes walk to beach. Great walk along the coast to Bamburgh. Owners made contact to check everything and were very attentive. Great place to stay, would definitely recommend.

- Jennifer, February 2024

Glad you enjoyed your stay and all that Sans Souci has to offer. Thank you for the recommendation Property Owner
Michael Feb 2024

“An ideal situation in Seahouses close to the harbour and all the amenities.”

Beautiful appointed accommodation decorated and maintained to a high standard. Close to many of the excellent attractions that Northumbria has to offer.

- Michael, Feb 2024
Denise January 2024

“Lovely property with everything you need - a real home away from home.”

Very close and within walking distance to the pubs and restaurants of Seahouses which is very dog friendly. Owners were great and checked in on us via phone the day after we arrived to ensure everything was ok. Totally recommend.

- Denise, January 2024
Amanda December 2023

“This is a beautiful holiday let tucked away in the heart of Seahouses.”

There is private parking directly outside the property for 2 cars . The garden is fully enclosed which if you have 2 little dogs like we do is a big plus & can be hard to find . The property was lovely & warm on arrival & most importantly spotlessly clean. It can be tricky to find dog friendly properties that don’t have any signs that there have been dogs there , but Sans Souci definitely comes through on this . We visited in the week before Christmas & the tree / decorations were a nice surprise. The kitchen is spacious & well equipped, leading on to the enclosed garden. The lounge is very comfortable with a large corner sofa . All 3 bedrooms have excellent storage, especially the 2 upstairs which have walk in wardrobes. Lovely thick fluffy towels , and crisp white sheets . The welcome pack was incredible, and contained local produce including jam , chutneys & free range eggs . Excellent coffee machine with plenty of pods . Another plus which can be overlooked, is we didn’t arrive to overflowing bins , with a request to ‘put them out ‘ etc. They were discreetly taken care of whilst we were there . Sans Souci is definitely one of the best holiday lets we have stayed in , & we would 100% recommend.

- Amanda, December 2023
Joy Dec 2023

“Beautiful well equipped holiday home.”

Ground floor bedroom and bathroom is ideal for anyone travelling with elderly or disabled relatives. Ideal location in a lovely part of Northumberland. Something for everyone in the family. Amazing beaches and attractions on your doorstep. Plenty of local gastro pubs and takeaways in the village. Can’t wait to come back.

- Joy, Dec 2023
Martyn November 2023

“Finished and equipped to a very high level throughout in a quiet cul de sac a stones throw from the centre of Seahouses - it doesn't get any better!”

Comfy beds, good heating if needed, everything you need in the kitchen, multiple TVs, good wi-fi, and loads of thoughtful touches from dog biscuits to starter supplies and loads of games. Communications were friendly, helpful and quick. The enclosed back garden is ideal for dogs. Loved it.

- Martyn, November 2023

Thank you for the lovely feedback. Hope you visit again soon Property Owner
Gordon Nov 2023

“When we had our visit, we found it an amazing place to stay, so clean, so well equipped and finished to an extremely high standard.”

The beds were super comfy, the lounge was great for relaxing, and the kitchen was well equipped for every eventuality. It was a cold weekend but the heating system kept us very toasty with the underfloor heating. The village of Seahouses is a lovely place to visit with great walks around the harbour and excellent places nearby to visit. Would highly recommend anyone to say there.

- Gordon, Nov 2023
Julie October 2023

“The perfect place for a family getaway with everything you need provided.”

The house is really well appointed, warm and comfortable and we felt very relaxed. It's also in a great location with easy parking and a two minute walk to the shops, cafés and other attractions. We walked to the beach most days, which is only a ten minute walk at most. Seahouses has a range of places to eat out, including fish and chips, Italian and Indian restaurants and a choice of pubs. We loved driving a few miles to Bamburgh or Embleton and walking along the beach.

- Julie, October 2023

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Sounds like you visited plenty of the local places Property Owner
Lance October 2023

“Sans Souci is a spacious, comfortable, modern house in a quiet cul-de-sac close to all the amenities that Seahouses has to offer.”

The owners are extremely helpful and were kind enough to leave us a ‘welcome pack’ containing lots of tasty local foods. We enjoyed our short break in spite of some terrible weather and we would recommend Sans Souci to anyone interested in exploring the Northumberland coast.

- Lance, October 2023
Stephen October 2023

“As return guests we were equally impressed with Sans Souci as we were on our first stay.”

The accommodation is right up there with the best self catering we have stayed in ( and we've stayed in a lot ). Quiet central location, lovely welcome pack, the standard of everything is 5*. Have already recommended to friends and family.

- Stephen, October 2023
Rosaline September 2023

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the house was gorgeous.”

It has everything we could have possibly needed, even our dog. The best equipped kitchen we’ve ever experienced at a holiday cottage. The house is perfectly located, just a short walk from the centre of Seahouses, yet in a peaceful location. Short distance from pubs, restaurants and a Co-op. The welcome hamper was much appreciated. We didn’t want to leave and look forward to coming back.

- Rosaline, September 2023

Thank you for the glowing review. Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you return soon. Property Owner
Heather August 2023

“Sans Souci is a beautiful property, very well appointed for easy access into Seahouses.”

We took my disabled Mother and she had the downstairs bedroom and bathroom and it was very well equipped. The property is only a few minutes walk into town to a variety of shops, pubs, chippies and a lovely harbour. Again, easy to wheel my Mum into town. I’d recommend the Black Swan pub, both for dining and 2 for 1 cocktails. Sans Souci is also very conveniently located for outings to Bamburgh, Newton by the Sea and Lindisfarne and only a few minutes from wonderful stretches of idyllic beaches. Sans Souci is extremely well equipped, with very comfortable beds, spotlessly clean - and beautiful chandeliers!

- Heather, August 2023

Thank you for leaving such a lovely review. The Black Swan is a favourite of ours too. Property Owner
Ayse August 2023

“The property is in a quiet setting off the main road and is very handy for shops, walks and eateries.”

The owners were very attentive, despite not physically being there. They made contacting them really simple and when we requested an extra fan it was ordered and delivered 24 hours later! The property had a very well equipped kitchen, so the nights we ate in weren’t a problem as everything we needed was provided. If it wasn’t the owners made it clear to contact them. Games were provided, a lovely welcome pack was provided and items to take to the beach, should you wish to, were readily available. We would definitely stay there again.

- Ayse, August 2023

Thank you for the lovely feedback. Glad to hear that you want to come back. Property Owner

Gary June 2023

“We had a fantastic stay at Sans Souci.”

The property was immaculately clean and was tastefully furnished. The owners had obviously a flair for modern design. It has a nice enclosed garden in which we enjoyed sunny evenings with our dog. We can’t recommend this highly enough, (although perhaps we shouldn’t as we want some vacancies for us to go again next year!). Thank you Richard and Becca, see you again soon.

- Gary, June 2023

Glad to hear you had a great time. Hope Lucy had some good doggie days on the beach and it wasn’t too hot for her. Property Owner
