Floor Plans

Children at The Plaice

Children are welcome but there are no special facilities and no private outdoor space more suited to younger children. A travel cot and high chair are available on request

Location and Locality

Prime seafront location just steps away from our other property The Look Out. Very central within Seahouses for all amenities including the Ocean Leisure Club. This photo shows the view of the harbour from The Plaice in the wintry weather 2010.

Recommendations

Families with older children or babies, couples and small groups. Ideal for sea lovers, walkers, bird watchers and those wanting a luxury seaside holiday base where many of the main attractions are within walking distance (The boats for the Farne Islands set sail from the harbour just below the balcony of the Plaice!)

Coastal Retreats Candid Comments (Giving you the only down sides we can think of about a property before you book!)

 A compact but cleverly designed property. At full capacity, the living space is a little cramped so we market it for 5 rather than 6. No log fire, just the harbour view.

Mobile reception is almost impossible at The Plaice and in Seahouses in general. The T mobile network works best

'Just returned from a superb week in the best self-catering holiday cottage we have ever stayed at.  Beautiful coast and a wonderful setting, but you have appointed the cottage perfectly. If only more holiday residences could be of this high standard then holidaying in our own beautiful country would become much more attractive than the mission to go abroad. You have set the Gold standard' Many thanks'

'We had such a fantastic two weeks at The Plaice, what a
place to stay.  The views are just lovely and being able to watch the
activities of the harbour was fascinating.  The Plaice was excellent
and so well equipped with everything we needed, we have been truly
spoilt now!'
 

' Just a short note to say how much we enjoyed our stay at The Plaice last week .
The weather was really kind to us so we were able to sit out on the balcony and enjoy the views every day.   It was great to watch the Farne Island boats and fishing boats and there were lovely eider duck chicks in the harbour to enjoy. The accommodation lived up to our expectations.   We very much liked the open aspect to the upstairs living accommodation and the roof windows made it so light - it was really lovely. Obviously the furnishings are to a very high standard and the settees and bed have to be the most comfortable we have ever had in a holiday cottage. We did the walk to Footballers Cove and were the only ones there at the time (highly recommended).   Also looked up the two new additions to your collection at Craster .' 

'Our stay in the cottage at Seahouses was perfect our American friends thought that it outshone any cottage or house on the coast of California. They also said that if the Americans back home ever found out about the coast of Northumbria it would be invaded by them. They were indeed very impressed with all the facilities, we wanted for nothing.
I too was very impressed with the quality of the cottage, we do often go into rentals in this country and will certainly visit you again
Many thanks.
I forgot to complete the survey you left, but we all agreed it was indeed an excellent cottage with first class facilities.
Our friends will return home to the USA with memorable moments of the time they spent in seahouses at coastal retreats.'
