About this property
Settled into the coastal town of Seahouses, Northumberland, Ahoy is ideal for a family looking for a seaside getaway. Park off-road and unpack with ease, before allowing yourself a moment to relax with a coffee in the sitting/dining room, housing a glass dining table. When mealtimes call, ample amenities are tucked away neatly into a contemporary kitchen, so why not cook a heart-warming meal made from local produce? Freshen up in the family bathroom before settling down in one of the two homely bedrooms, a king-size with a TV and handy en-suite, and a twin with storage. Outside, indulge in alfresco dining at the red table and chairs. The delightful town of Seahouses is one with many things on offer for guests, beginning with a fantastic range of eateries for you to enjoy, including Neptune Fish and the Schooner Inn. Beach days are a must, with the beautiful sandy beach only a short distance away, and you can enjoy sea views from the harbour or explore the coastline further with a boat tour of the local area. For lovers of golf, there is a local course, and if you travel a little further, then you will be able to spend the day at the magnificent Bamburgh Castle or Beadnell Lime Kilns, and beyond that, the well-known Holy Island. There is something for everyone with a stay at Ahoy.
A bustling, pretty fishing village with an attractive harbour, situated on the beautiful Northumbrian coast in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Easy walk into Seahouses . Well equipped . High kitchen cupboards made it difficult for me but Iâm only 5 ft! . A little more attention to dusting would be good for example the light over the dining table and skirting boards but overall we really enjoyed our stay .
