Vince “This was our third visit to Sunnie Cottage.”
It is located close to the harbour and town centre. It is very comfortable- a real home away from home !
- Vince, August 2024 -
Linds “A lovely well looked after cottage with everything that we needed supplied.”
Kitchen was well equipped and we appreciated the wine and biscuits and our dog liked his biscuits too. Cottage was well appointed in a quiet area but also so close to harbour and local amenities.We were very happy and had an excellent time
- Linds, July 2024 -
K “The property was clean, comfortable and ideally located.”
We never had a problem with parking. If I were returning to Northumberland I would choose to stay at Sunnie Cottage and would recommend it without hesitation. Couple of suggestions:- Replace the baking sheets A saucepan suitable for boiling an egg

Sunnie cottage is a great cottage to stay in everything in the cottage is top class rona the owner left us a welcome pack and its in a great location in seahouses we will come back in a couple of years and hopefully stay in this cottage
- Colin, May 2024 -
Jessica “The property is in a great location only a minute from your door to the harbour if that!”
The beds are very comfy and a spacious living room with plenty of seating. Would definitely recommend staying here! There is parking round the back which can be quite tight if you have a big car as on the street there’s an arch you have to go through to access parking. But you can always park up against the wall round the back which would be easier instead of outside the cottage
- Jessica, May 2024 -
Cath “One of the best cottages we've stayed in.”
Fantastic location, very comfortable and well equipped. We felt very relaxed and could have stayed for much longer. Harbour 2 mins away, great cliff walks 2 mins away. Lots of great beaches within walking distance/ short drive away. Great choice of food a few mins walk away in Seahouses. All this despite atrocious weather in April.
- Cath, April 2024 -
Lesley “Lovely cottage in great location for walks, pubs, shops and takeaways.”
Sunnie Cottage provided all we needed for our week in Seahouses.
- Lesley, November 2023 -
Lesley “We loved our stay at Sunnie Cottage recently.”
Everything was just perfect. Very clean and everything you could wish for. Especially nice was the treats there waiting for us when we arrived - thanks Rona. No complaints whatsoever, and I would highly recommend.
- Lesley, October 2023 -

Vince “We had a lovely week at Sunnie Cottage.”
It is very comfortable and very conveniently positioned for all the local amenities. The communications from the owner were excellent as were the welcome gifts !
- Vince, July 2023 -
Lisa “Absolutely lovely little cottage in a quiet part of Seahouses.”
Everything has been thought of in terms of equipment and comfort. Parking is quite tight especially if all the other cottages in the courtyard are in use but I would definitely recommend this cottage, it is absolutely lovely.
- Lisa, June 2023 -
Lauren “Couldn’t rate this trip and property highly enough.”
Sunnie cottage is perfectly located on the harbour with all amenities in walking distance. The property was very clean and comfortable with everything you would need, very much a home from home. The host is amazing, excellent communication and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was faultless. We will be booking to return soon hopefully!
- Lauren, May 2023 -
Helen “This was our second stay at Sunnie Cottage where we had another fabulous week.”
The cottage is very well appointed and has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. Only a few steps away from Seahouses harbour, the cottage is perfectly located for you to explore and enjoy the local area. Thanks to the owner for excellent communication and the welcome treats on arrival which were much appreciated. Looking forward to our next visit.
- Helen, May 2023 -
Jess “Great cottage.”
Location is ideal....close to harbour and main street. Having a parking space provided is a real bonus as these are few and fair between in that part of town. We stayed during the big freeze and it was more than warm enough. Kitchen had everything you could need. Nespresso machine and pods a bonus! Thanks very much for the lovely welcome gifts...we will be back!! Recommend it.
- Jess, December 2022 -
Helen “Sunnie Cottage is situated within metres of the sea front, which was, for us, perfect, as we spend a lot of time on the beach.”
The cottage has everything you would need for a pleasant stay. I would recommend adding a small folder containing basic instructions for use of such as washer/dryer, dishwasher, heating, TV and video. All other cottages I've stayed in include this. Without this it becomes a matter of trial and error of button pushing, which isn't good for the electrical item you're using. Beds are very comfortable. Heating settings were fine for us, but I wouldn't have known how to change them if needed. Overall a very pleasant stay with a helpful and friendly host. Thank you!
- Helen, November 2022 -
Valerie “Lovely cottage in a great location for exploring Northumberland, everything we needed was supplied and all the rooms were spotless.”
We travelled there by train, and used the local buses (great once we had cracked the timetable!!)
- Valerie, September 2022 -
Paulette “The location of Seahouses is perfect for exploring castles , beaches etc Bamburgh is a jewel and the beach stunning especially in the evening for boarding in the deserted setting Magic !”
!! The harbour cottage is perfect for older children to wander off to shops, for ice cream or slot machines ! The amenities of the house were all great with comfortable beds and tasteful decor We had a lovely post Covid family week
- Paulette, August 2022 -
Helen “We had a fabulous week at Sunnie Cottage.”
The cottage is very well appointed and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is in a perfect location just a short walk from the harbour and town centre. Thank you to the owner for great communication and the much appreciated welcome pack. We will definitely stay again.
- Helen, July 2022 -
Karen Elizabeth “We have had a lovely time at Sunnie Cottage - the location is so close to the harbour with amazing sunsets and very central to all that Seahouses has to offer.”
The beds are small but very comfortable and the cottage is well equipped with everything that you need. The area is fantastic for walking and we managed to go on four separate circular walks from Seahouses. The boat trip to the Farne Islands was fantastic as we were so blessed with the weather. There are quite a few places to eat in Seahouses and we would recommend the restaurant of the caravan park (accessed via the main car park). Good food at good value. Unfortunately we had an overpriced and very average meal in the Bamburgh Castle Inn so would not recommend. On Thursday night there is a quiz night in the Schooner Inn pub which is very close to the cottage and this was such good fun. Thank you to the owners of Sunnie Cottage - 5 friends had a fabulous week!
- Karen Elizabeth, July 2022Thank you so much for a lovely review and so pleased you had a great stay Just for clarification the beds in the cottage are both standard double beds and a standard single Property Owner

Alison “Comfortable, well equipped, immaculate, convenient .”
If we are in the area again, it will be our first choice. What more can I say? Just thought of something, the proximity to the smokery!!! So we eat crab sandwiches every day, fresh lobster, kippers, haddock…..yum yum yum.
- Alison, June 2022 -
Nicola “The cottage was really comfortable and well equipped with a great location very close to the harbour - great for watching sunsets over Bamburgh castle.”
We would thoroughly recommend staying here.
- Nicola, June 2022 -
Roger “The location was very good.”
Cleanliness could have been better i.e. Knives in the knife block were not clean, baking trays looked as if they had never been washed with food baked on. Having a toilet and shower downstairs was good. Parking was good and off road.
- Roger, June 2022 -
Brenda “Fantastic holiday.”
Ideal location. Cottage very well appointed and equipped. Almost perfect - two slight niggles. Details mention freezer. There wasn’t one, only a freezer compartment in fridge which was very iced up. We arrived with 3 frozen dinners and nowhere to put 2 of them! Fridge adequate for two but would not be for 4 or 5 people. Secondly, although showers were fine, hot water in upstairs basin tap only trickled out.
- Brenda, June 2022 -
Debbie “The cottage was just perfect for us.”
The location is really central too. The facilities were perfect too many thanks
- Debbie, May 2022 -
Bernadette “A lovely comfortable warm cottage, very clean and with the lovely surprise of a welcome package.”
I would definitely recommend as a place to stay.
- Bernadette, May 2022 -
Peter “A very comfortable cottage, well equipped and only a few minutes walk to the harbour.”
- Peter, May 2022 -
Alan “Nice cottage in a great location.”
Very handy for local pubs, food etc. Some of the cupboards were a bit dusty, and lack of wardrobe space if full occupancy. Had one car and got parked no problem, might be an issue if more than 1car. Downstairs shower difficult to get temp right. All relatively minor complaints and would happily stay again
- Alan, April 2022 -
Brenda “Marvellous location.”
Super cosy. Access to shops fabulous. A trip to inner Farns is a must. Going to the Holy Island is also recommended The cottage is a lovely place to unwind. Many thanks to the owner for presentation. We would go back for sure. There is a lot to do for everyone Please experience the Fish Monger
- Brenda, April 2022 -
Kathryn “The cottage was absolutely great, we all thought it was extremely clean and was much more spacious than we’d imagined.”
The cottage facilities are modern and well kept, and having the two bathrooms was a bonus. It was equipped with absolutely everything we needed, (we especially liked the bed linens and blinds!). The location was great being in easy walking distance to the town centre and the stunning views and beaches close by. Seahouses is a wonderful place, and also so close to the best beaches and historic places in the country!
- Kathryn, March 2022 -
Bethany “This is our fourth stay at Sunnie Cottage and as always, an incredibly enjoyable one.”
Clean, comfortable and truly a home from home. Lots of handy facilities available and excellent selection of cleaning products left to use during the stay (extra points for the cruelty free items left!) Lovely welcome package and goodies for the furry guests. We will be back again!
- Bethany, February 2022 -
Margaret “Sunnie cottage was everything we hoped for and more - we will definitely be returning!”
The cottage was really nicely furnished, very warm and clean and the lovely owner, Rona, contacted us beforehand with lots of information which we found most helpful! She was also most thoughtful in welcoming us with a bottle of wine and biscuits with some milk.already in the fridge. Despite staying in January, the weather was great and we were able to visit Bamburgh castle with its fabulous beach, and a few more coastal areas. There were some great fish and chip shops in the village and nice pubs. We took our Ruby Cavalier King Charles and she loved the beaches. She was happy to sleep in the kitchen which had heated flooring! There was wifi in the cottage with a large TV, perfect! Thank you Sykes and Rona, we had a great time and you deserve full marks! Margaret, Simon & Daisy the Ruby Cavalier xx
- Margaret, January 2022 -
Janet “The customer service was first class from the initial phone call to the email, the welcome pack and the excellent location and facilities available.”
This is in a perfect spot. Well equipped and with thoughtful additions such as a garlic press, dishwasher tablets, a variety of mugs etc. Cannot recommend it too highly. Thank you
- Janet, December 2021 -
Dawn “The cottage was beautifully presented and incredibly clean.”
Communication with the owner was great, and the welcome package was an unexpected treat! Would definitely return
- Dawn, October 2021 -
Gail “Great location, close to the main road in Seahouses and the harbour.”
Short walk to the beach and lots of places nearby that are worth a visit, ie Bamburgh Castle, Alnwick, Lindisfarne. The cottage was exceptionally clean and well appointed accommodation. Would definitely book again if we were staying in Seahouses.
- Gail, October 2021 -
Linda “Everything was clean and in working order The beds were amazing The only downside was the parking”
- Linda, October 2021 -
Jean “Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”
Would definitely recommend.
- Jean, September 2021 -
Kathryn “Fabulous location and delightful cottage.”
- Kathryn, August 2021 -
Clare “The cottage was in a great location.”
However, we felt that having paid a lot of money for the week they could have left more than one dishwasher tablet! We also found the bed in the single room uncomfortable, with the springs coming through. I did feedback on this and got no reply. The lampshade in the living room was a”so much too low for tall people, it was repeatedly knocked and the lightbulbs fell out onto one of our heads.
- Clare, July 2021 -
Colin “Lovely place to stay.”
Owner was very friendly, the cottage had everything in it we needed, and Seahouses is a great place.
- Colin, July 2021 -

The high standard of decoration and all the little things that make life easier were provided.Excellent communication by owner made everything smooth.
- Deborah, July 2021 -
Franc “Excellent cottage, very cosy.”
Had a wonderful week here.
- Franc, May 2021 -

We and Bodi our dog have been spoilt for the week. The house has everything you would want and more Just wish we could have had another week or more. The Armstrongs
- Harvey, May 2021 -
Claire “Beautiful cottage, a good size for a holiday home in this area, as we have stayed in a number of them.”
Parking is a bit tight, but wouldn’t put us off staying again. Lovely welcome pack, and good communication with the owner. Thank you.
- Claire, April 2021 -
Diane “This was our second time staying in Sunnie Cottage.”
The cottage is really comfortable, very clean and extremely well equipped. The location of the cottage is excellent. Very close to everything but also not on a main road so very quiet. Communication with the owner is great and they have put excellent measures in place to make the cottage as Covid secure as possible. We will definitely be back to Sunnie Cottage.
- Diane, October 2020 -
Mark “Sunnie Cottage is well furnished, warm and cozy.”
Centrally located in Seahouses, all the facilities were readily available. The cottage was spotlessly clean on our arrival, and it was a pleasure to stay there
- Mark, October 2020 -
Jayne “Cottage was very clean and spacious.”
The cottage was better than I expected and the location was excellent. The welcome pack provided by the owner was a nice touch and we particularly enjoyed the bottle of wine! Thank you for an enjoyable week in Seahouses.
- Jayne, September 2020 -
Alison “Was reassured before visit and on arrival that necessary extra steps were taken during these Covid 19 times.”
The courtyard was very crowded over bank holiday weekend making parking difficult. Indeed hadn't appreciated just how close to outdoor bench the cars and dustbins would be. That said the central location to Seahouses was useful. To avoid crowds went inland most days.
- Alison, August 2020 -
Keith “Fantastic little cottage is very close to the town and beach.”
Parking is very tight and can be difficult at busy times but the cottage is very good.
- Keith, August 2020 -

- Sarah, March 2020 -
Bethany “Beautiful cottage in an excellent location.”
Lovely owner and a personal touch with welcome pack.
- Bethany, February 2020 -
Diane “Had a lovely week in Sunnie Cottage.”
It's a lovely, well cared for cottage and all the furnishings/equipment is a really high standard. We stayed for my Mam's 80th birthday and Rona decorated the cottage with banners for us. A lovely surprise for my Mam. We will definitely return to Sunnie Cottage.
- Diane, November 2019 -
Angela “This was our third visit to Sunnie Cottage and we had a wonderful time.”
The cottage is welcoming, warm and very well placed for all the amenities Seahouses has to offer. Excellent walking along wonderful beaches right from the doorstep. We will be returning.
- Angela, August 2019 -
Judith “Lovely cottage with pretty decor and well laid out, great to have a separate shower room too.”
All the home comforts and great location for walks to the harbour and shops. Lots of places to explore in the area as well. Parking can be a bit tight but was fine. Welcome pack was much appreciated after the long drive up!
- Judith, August 2019 -
Jeanette “Great location, lovely comfortable cottage.”
More suited to adults because of lack of outdoor area belonging to property, just a small area with a bench looking into a courtyard full of cars.
- Jeanette, August 2019 -
Natasha “The cottage is really lovely.”
We were a party of 3 adults and 3 children and a small dog. I was worried there wouldn’t be much space but there was. The rooms were spacious and there was everything we could have needed. The kids loved the house. Showers were always lovely and warm. We enjoyed seahouses as a base to explore. It was handy coming back on an evening and having a few good pubs around the corner. Will definitely be back.
- Natasha, August 2019 -
Helen “Lovely bright cottage, very close to the sea.”
Cottage was clean, relaxing and conveniently situated for a seahorses holiday.

Excellent place to stay with everything you need in a property for a great holiday.

Carol “Sunnie Cottage was an absolute delight.”
Recently refurbished to a very high standard. I had my 80 year old parents with me, so the downstairs shower/toilet facilities accommodated their needs very well. A welcome pack and instructions on use of facilities in cottage, on arrival, a great personal touch. Its in a fantastic location for access to harbour, sea view walks, shops and pubs. Will definately be returning...

Close to all that Seahouses has to offer as well as lovely walk to the beach . Would highly recommend it as well as use it again myself
- Ailsa, December 2018 -
Christopher “Wifi little hit and miss.”
Is there a way to isolate the extraction fan in the bathroom at night? Very noisy and runs for quite a while so disturbs other sleepers. Otherwise excellent cottage tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Great location thoroughly enjoyable holiday
- Christopher, October 2018 -
Carolyn “This was a lovely cottage, nice welcome gift from owner, very spacious and very nice after being newly decorated.”
Great location, close to the sea. Would say here again
- Carolyn, September 2018 -
Margaret “The cottage had just undergone a refurbishment and was very comfortable.”
The car parking area was through a very tight entrance archway into the courtyard. Great care was needed getting in and out! Thankfully I managed the week without scraping the car! Other than that it was in an ideal location for touring the area.
- Margaret, July 2018 -
Patrick “I phoned the owner of the property a couple of days before our holiday for information regarding collecting the keys.”
She informed me that the property had just been refurbished both inside and out and that my wife and I were the first holiday makers to stay in the property since the refurbishment. We arrived at the property and the first thing to greet us was a welcome pack which included a very nice bottle of wine plus some food items. The inside of the property was unbelievable. It was decorated throughout to a very high standard and the fixtures and fittings were superb. We have booked properties through Sykes for a number of years and have not had one complaint of any kind about Sykes and this property was no exception. We are booking the property for the same week next year and would like to thank Sykes for another excellent holiday. We never have any reservations in recommending them to any of our friends and family. P Connealy

A well-appointed terraced cottage, superbly located in the heart of the busy fishing village of Seahouses, far enough from the centre to be peaceful, yet just a short walk away from the harbour and shops.
Providing cosy, comfortable accommodation, this cottage is great for friends and families wishing to visit this popular destination.
With two double bedrooms, a single room with a glimpse of the sea, a bathroom, ground floor shower room, a fully fitted kitchen and welcoming sitting room with dining area, this cottage provides everything you need for that perfect coastal break.
To the rear is a small patio area with table and chairs, and beyond, an open cobbled courtyard where in days gone by the fishermen of Seahouses would gather to mend their nets.
Only a two minute walk from the front door are public seats with wonderful views overlooking the harbour, Farne Islands, Bamburgh Castle and Lindisfarne.
This cottage is centrally located on the Heritage Coast where golden beaches and historical castles can be explored close by, plus further afield are Berwick-upon-Tweed, Edinburgh, Newcastle and Hadrian's Wall.
This cottage is an ideal base for touring this beautiful county.
