Reviews

Bluegrass is a very convenient place to stay, with lift to first floor and plenty of takeaway/restaurants and the Potted Lobster at Bamburgh. Lovely beaches

Mrs K,

My daughter and I very much enjoyed our stay in Bluegrass, and the garage was appreciated as she had a new car. The seaside touches in the apartment were lovely. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony with a drink, enjoying the view. Bluegrass is very well positioned for seeing the sights in that part of the country.

Mrs D,

Love this apartment. We have stayed here at least 9 times in the 11 years we have been visiting Seahouses. It’s close to all you need. Parking is great as you have a bay in a garage to use. The view we love and the apartment itself always feels are coming home.

Mrs S,

A very good property in a prime location- perfect for shops and beach. The property is well appointed with a sea view and private parking. We would definitely book again.

Mr N,

On arrival at the property, we were amazed to find the beds had not been made up or stripped from the previous guests. We were also unsure if the property had been cleaned. 3 housekeepers arrived at 4.40pm to change the linen and were surprised to see us there as according to their records, there was no let for our week. One of them was of the opinion that the property had not been cleaned as no Welcome Pack had been left and an empty bag had been left from the previous guests.

Mrs Elizabeth P,

This was a lovely apartment, in a great location and was brilliantly equipped. Made for the perfect getaway.

Mrs Sue B,

Delighted with the holiday. Apartment is beautiful and the location is perfect. Will definitely be back.

Ms Caroline B,

The property was perfect. The company was stellar!

Mr David P,

I was very disappointed that you had discontinued the welcome pack which we had appreciated on previous visits, especially as you didn’t inform us of this!! We had to go out on arrival to buy the basics which had always been provided before.

Mrs T S,

Property was as described and the images matched perfectly so we felt we knew the place already after passing it for a number of years. It was really comfortable and welcoming, very quiet and peaceful and we thoroughly enjoyed our break. We will definitely book again.

Miss Lisa W,

Location

Located in the centre of Seahouses, above the harbour, Bluegrass is in a prime position for accessing the beach, shops and restaurants without the need for your car. At just five minutes south of Bamburgh and the same distance north of Beadnell, it is ideally positioned for exploring the Northumberland coast and its plentiful beaches. Boat trips to The Farne Islands can be accessed from the harbour, operating all year round. Highlights include grey seals in the autumn, puffins from Easter until summer and occasionally dolphins.
For further information about the area, see our Seahouses section.
