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
Seahouses is a charming coastal village sitting within the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A bustling working harbour, it’s the gateway for sea voyages to the Farne Islands – this is the place to hop on a boat to discover the colonies of puffins and seals and trace the route taken by local heroine Grace Darling during her daring rescue in 1838.
The area is home to beautiful beaches, an array of friendly shops, cosy pubs, cafes, and restaurants. There’s a constant supply of fresh fish and seafood on the menu in Seahouses, and it’s always a joy to eat fish and chips while watching the comings and goings of life on the quayside.
The village is also a fantastic base to explore the wider Northumberland area. There are beaches to the north and the south of the village, with the most popular being to the north, featuring great sweeping curves of white sand running almost seamlessly to Bamburgh and Budle Bay. The Northumberland Coastal Path and National Cycle Route 1 run right through this stretch taking in incredible cliff-top scenery and sandy beaches, while venturing a little further inland will take you to a huge network of trails through the Northumberland National Park and the Scottish Borders.
