About this property
Luxury Holiday Cottage Sleeps 8, near the beach between Bamburgh and Seahouses
Welcome to our exquisite holiday home in the heart of Northumberland s coastal area, nestled between the picturesque villages of Seahouses and Bamburgh and just a 5 min walk from St Aiden's Beach - one of the most beautiful in all of Northumberland. Whether you're here for a relaxing retreat or an adventurous getaway, you'll find plenty to explore in this beautiful coastal region.
The property has just undergone a no expenses spared renovation. The 'beach chic' design is inspired by visits to beach hotels and villas from the Hamptons, Greece and our other holiday properties in Crail, Scotland.
Shoreston is a tranquil and picturesque hamlet that attracts visitors looking for a peaceful retreat in the Northumberland countryside. Its proximity to the popular destinations of Seahouses and Bamburgh makes it an ideal location for those wishing to explore the stunning Northumberland coast while enjoying a more secluded setting.
Constructed during the 19th and 20th Centuries, these traditional stone built cottages are of the arts and crafts era. Shoreston may be a small hamlet, but its history is interwoven with the rich cultural and historical tapestry of Northumberland, making it a special place to visit and explore. Indeed, the hamlet's history is a testament to the enduring legacy of rural Northumberland, where centuries-old traditions and modern life coexist harmoniously.
The property has undergone a painstaking renovation in recent years with sustainability at the forefront, and in June 2024 we open up the property to the holiday rental market.
Boasting 4 bedrooms, plenty of space for socialising plus flexible accommodation, this extremely spacious and light house makes the perfect holiday home for a group or special family gathering of up to 8 guests.
Everything about this property has been very well thought through to create a relaxed and luxurious beachside feeling.
As a self-catering property, you'll find everything you need for a perfect stay and all kitted out with a seaside nordic style living style in mind. There are beautiful design features and touches throughout the house and gardens.
The bespoke hand crafted kitchen leads through to a modern living and dining area with an extendable oak dining table which comfortably seats 8 guests, a comfortable corner sofa and smart TV and log burning stove.
The sunroom off the kitchen offers a delightful place to sit in the sunshine and take in the beautiful views across rural Northumberland.
The downstairs WC and shower room is small but perfectly formed, modern, clean and fresh.
The snug affords an additional cosy space to read, watch TV and relax in front of the log burning stove. This is a favourite room of ours in the evenings to relax, read, tell stories and play boardgames.
Upstairs there are 2 kingsize bedrooms, one with ensuite, a twin bedroom with two single beds, and a further double bedroom with views to Bamburgh Castle. All are stylishly furnished with beautiful seaside brightness and natural wooden furnishings.
The tranquil beach vibe is enhanced by original art and crafts sourced both locally and from around the world.
The family bathroom is beautifully fitted with free standing bath, spacious shower and exquisite tiles. Fresh towels and linens are provided.
Enjoy the spacious walled back garden with stunning views across the fields and on to Bamburgh Castle. The patio provides comfortable rattan sofas from which to relax and enjoy a barbeque.
The double garage games room is a more rustic space but packed with fun - including table football, small size pool table, mini table tennis and darts.
The kitchen has a fridge, hob, double oven, kettle, coffee maker, freezer and microwave. West house is a perfect place to relax and offers a television and internet access.
This house has 4 bedrooms and can comfortably sleep 8.

This was a fantastic cottage with wonderful amenities and set in the most beautiful location. Peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed walks to the beach and to town every day. Comfortable and clean with plenty of room. The entertainment garage was a bonus.

Many thanks again for being such fabulous guests. We’d highly recommend Shelley and family and would be delighted to host again either in West House, Northumberland or Harbour House & Cottage in Crail, near St Andrews in Scotland. Hope your return travels all went smoothly. Best regards, Lynne
The host was super helpful right from the get-go and the house was just perfect for a reuniting family get together for a special birthday. Children (adults!) coming from all over the world. This is a beautiful house in a great position. Walking distance to the dunes and beach - and Bamburgh castle visible from most rooms. And it didn’t rain!! Perfect

We are delighted that you all had a good time and thank you so much for your stay- you are 5 star guests ⭐️ So glad you take fond memories of West House and Northumberland with you and are most welcome back anytime.
We booked this house for a few days with our family of three couples, two children and an infant. The space was perfect for us, with comfortable bedrooms and a great balance of spaces to relax and socialise. House is surrounded by stunning views and tastefully decorated to a beautiful standard. The kitchen was very well equipped, garden was spacious and well maintained, and the games room in the garage was a great bonus for the kids! We hope to return!

Thank you so much for the five stars - we’ve not long completed the renovation or the property in preparation for rental so it’s very pleasing to receive such a wonderful review.
We’d gladly welcome you and your friends back any time.
Best, Lynne
What can I say, this stay was just 10/10. The level of detail and attention the design and finish of this really made it feel like the most perfect home away from home. Every single person in our group all commented on how gorgeous the property is and the location really is perfect. Less than 10 minute walk and you’re at the beach, 20 minute walk into seahouses and just over 35 to Bamburgh. A fab short drive to both locations. There wasn’t a single thing more we could have asked for to be in the property and the communication was truly fantastic and so speedy. Highly recommend and have told friends about this fab place. Will definitely be back in the future x

Thanks very much Megan for such a wonderful review. And we’re delighted you all loved the place and its location so much. We’d be delighted to welcome you back any time. All the best to you all Lynne and Gavin
Fantastic week in a beautiful home. The house itself is stunning. Very light and spacious with plenty of room for our family of five. Fully equipped with all you will need , even down to an umbrella if the rain should come. The luxurious welcome pack was very well received too, thank you.. Very comfortable beds and powerful showers that set us up for the day. One feature that was welcomed by the teenagers was the plentiful electrical sockets and a personal favourite of mine was the record player and the 80s hits compilations. The garden is large, private and beautifully cared for. The addition of the games room is welcomed for children and adults to enjoy with darts, pool and table football. The clean and sandy beach is a short walk away as is the pretty village of Seahouses. The situation of the house means you can have the best of both worlds. We had a wonderful holiday and would definitely come back to West House. I can't recommend it highly enough.
