The Tumblers
The Tumblers is a superbly located beach home just a stone’s throw from a glorious curve of sweeping sands with views towards the Farne Islands, set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
As well as the enviable location on this stunning stretch of heritage coast, this warm and welcoming home will prove a huge draw for families and friends looking to take advantage of beach life, sightseeing and outdoor pursuits.
Inside, the property has timeless appeal with a fresh Scandinavian style perfect for laid-back coastal living. In the sitting room, the beamed ceiling, stripped wood floor and original art deco style doors and windows add character and charm, while whitewashed walls are the perfect backdrop for furnishings and artworks evocative of its seaside location.
A large corner sofa provides ample space for relaxation while a cosy woodburner adds extra warmth during those out-of-season days. The sitting room opens into a front facing sun room/dining room for lazy afternoons or evening dining, and there is a well equipped kitchen including an original 60's vintage Formica table - ideal for children breakfasting or a quick lunch.
The three bedrooms (one en-suite) are comfortably appointed with high quality linens and throws featuring two double rooms and one twin.
Outside, there is a fully enclosed lawned garden where children and up to two dogs can play safely. There's also a variety of outside seating to catch the sun, and a table which is perfectly positioned for gazing out to sea. It makes for a lovely spot for an afternoon cup of tea, or an evening glass of wine while watching the world go by.
Beach days are a must for all guests, whether walking, swimming, playing games or having a picnic. There's a good selection of beach kit at the property which you're welcome to use. Or why not nip across the road to The Beach House Hotel for a drink (opposite The Tumblers) before you head home to fire up the barbecue and watch the sunset.
The Tumblers is perfected situated close to the shoreline, with a wealth of coastal activities to enjoy nearby including water sports and seashore safaris as well as exciting boat trips to the Farne Islands to spot the famous puffins and colonies of grey seals.

Location
The Tumblers is within easy walking distance of the shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants of this pretty coastal village, with plenty of good eating options right on the harbour area. Experience the rich maritime connections of The Old Ship Inn for tasty food and a good selection of real ales; or the Bamburgh Castle Inn situated above the old lime kilns by the harbour is another popular choice serving a menu full of fresh local flavours with lovely panoramic sea views from its terrace and beer garden (dogs welcome too!)
Élan is a lovely artisan pizzeria and is a top pick with both children and adults, followed perhaps by a delicious ice-cream from Coxons. For evening dining, try the bistro at the St Aidan Hotel or the Potted Lobster at Bamburgh who are both developing a fantastic reputation for producing exceptional seasonal dishes using the very best produce the area has to offer.
There is always a fresh supply of fish and seafood on the restaurant menus in this area, and fans of the traditional British takeaway can savour some of the best lightly battered fish and chips whilst watching the comings and goings of life on the quayside here - Pinnacles and Lewis’s come particularly recommended! Alternatively Swallow Fish based in The Fisherman’s Kitchen has a rich heritage, using traditional smoking techniques within the original 1943 smokehouses to produce some of the finest naturally smoked kippers and salmon - earning the accolade of being one of Rick Stein's original Food Heroes.
Most of the shopping in Seahouses is on the Main Street with a fantastic fruit and veg shop selling locally sourced produce and gourmet ingredients, as well as a bakery, fishmongers, pharmacy, post office, and a National Trust shop filled with lovely things for a leisurely browse. There is a small Co-op supermarket for those day-to-day essentials, or more extensive shopping, local producers, and a number of large supermarkets can be found in the historic market town of Alnwick which sits just 15 miles south of Seahouses.
