Seahouses on the North Northumbrian Coast

Seahouses Hostel is perfectly equipped to host groups of all sizes, offering a variety of dormitory and en-suite room options. While the hostel primarily caters to groups of children, young people, and their leaders, it also warmly welcomes exclusive group bookings, families, and independent travellers.

It provides a spacious, bright, comfortable, and relaxing environment with extensive facilities including two comfortable living rooms, a charming dining room and a fully equipped kitchen with ample shower and toilet facilities and central heating throughout. Free Wi-Fi and a range of activities including games, toys and books are available for younger guests, as well as outdoor games equipment and a play area to enjoy in our lovely, spacious, and enclosed garden. Exclusive hire provides access to the hostel hall, featuring a fully equipped kitchen, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, and an impressive 86-inch TV. This versatile space is ideal for entertainment, film screenings, training sessions, and conferences, offering a comfortable and modern environment for your group. Access is around a few established clubs.

North Northumberland has a coastal region that is second to none for natural beauty and places of historical interest. Many day trips are easily accessible from the hostel, such as the pretty coastal fishing village of Seahouses and the beautiful Farne Islands, which is only a boat ride away from Seahouses harbour, where you can see the large grey seal colony and bird sanctuary. Alternatively, you can walk a little further along the glorious sandy beaches and visit the historic Bamburgh Castle or the Grace Darling Museum not forgetting to visit the rock pools on your way.

There is always time for ice cream but leave room for fish and chips by the harbour. After such a busy day you will be eager to return to the comfort of the hostel. Tomorrow, maybe a trip to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne - make sure you check the tide times!
