Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is frequently described as clean, with one review specifically noting it as 'spotlessly clean'. This suggests a high standard of cleanliness throughout.
The location is repeatedly highlighted as fabulous, with easy access to the beach and proximity to the town centre, making it an ideal spot for holidaymakers.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, mentioning the warmth and the open plan living space that accommodates large groups, indicating a high level of comfort for visitors.
The property is well-furnished and equipped for guests, including children. However, a suggestion for an outside tap indicates that there is minor room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
The presence of a welcome basket and milk in the fridge upon arrival is frequently appreciated, showing thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gestures, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Mayflower Cottage is favourably positioned on the edge of the large village of Seahouses and is a couple of minutes walk to a wonderful sandy beach.
This property is stunning! 5* accommodation in a sought after location… just the ticket for larger groups looking for a celebration house with 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms - perfect for 12 people.
Accommodation is over three floors. The soft blue and white tones of the living room reflect the coastal location of the property. A spacious yet cosy room with woodburning stove and dark wood floors, TV, DVD, Bluetooth speaker, DAB radio. French doors lead onto the smart patio which comes complete with a table and chairs, a lovely spot to escape with a coffee and a magazine. The 26 ft kitchen diner is fully fitted with an electric oven and gas hob, dishwasher, microwave, fridge/freezer, coffee machine (Tassimo) and washing machine. Upstairs Mayflower’s bedrooms include a couple of pretty children’s rooms with bunks and twin beds. All bedrooms are beautifully styled and well coordinated, the standard of finish continues in the two ensuites and a family bathroom which are all kitted out with first class fittings and soft fluffy towels.
Mayflower Cottage is a good base for exploring this beautiful area - visit the Farne Islands to observe the seabirds and the colony of Grey Seals. 3 miles north is the impressive Bamburgh Castle and 5 miles to Holy Island and Lindisfarne. (Can be reached at low tide along the causeway) The castle dramatically clings to a rocky outcrop. Just south of Seahouses is Beadnell Bay with its unique west facing harbour for sailing, windsurfing and scuba diving. Good golfing (0,.5 miles), fishing and horse riding available locally.

Spacious, comfortable house, close to the beach, and not far from the town of Seahouses. Pretty well equipped, with 2 tvs, games and books. Kitchen also fine. Parking for 3 cars (2 off road).

Mayflower cottage was perfect for our large family gathering. The downstairs space was excellent and the welcome gifts were a lovely touch. Being so close to the beach was perfect as we could all enjoy the coast without needing the car every time. The house was warm and comfortable and we had everything we needed.
