The apartment is comfortable and well equipped. It is ideally located on the edge of Seahouses with access to many beautiful beaches and tourist attractions, including a lovely beach over the road, which can be viewed from the living room in the apartment. The location is quiet and it was a very peaceful stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return at some point.
Ideal location and comfortable apartment. Well equipped and matched the description. Felt like staying in a home and lots of personal touches.
Owners very helpful and accommodating and appreciated them keeping in touch, again felt very personal.
Had a wonderful holiday. We were very lucky with the weather. Very pleased to find instructions for cooker etc. Excellent location. wonderful to sit and watch the the people on the beach and the wonderful sunsets. Perhaps more detailed information on discarding the rubbish and re-cycling. We were not too sure whether we were supposed to take it down to the bins or not.
We enjoyed our week staying at Buckets and Spades. It was lovely to see the sea from the living room windows. We really liked the bathroom with the shower in it. We slept very well on the comfortable large bed. We love Northumberland and returning to the comforts of Buckets and Spades each day was perfect. Thank you for providing everything we needed to make our stay so comfortable.
We have been coming to Northumberland since 2010, usually staying in Beadnall. This apartment didn't disappoint. Great location and lovely comfortable apartment. Had a little trouble understanding the night storage heaters, but Bob and Linda were easy to contact and a great help, we soon had the apartment warm and cosy.
Thank you

Great location rubbish sleep!!
We had a brilliant weekend at Buckets & Spades apartment in Seahouses. The location is right in front of the beach coastal path, it takes about an hours stroll to Bamburgh Castle along the beach. The apartment is a great size. It's well equipped with everything needed for a little holiday.. Had a issue about the super kingsized bed being very uncomfortable to sleep on, it's a zip and lock system, but where the mattresses meet is very uncomfortable all that is needed is a decent mattresses topper and the bed would be so much more comfortable. The apartment above had noisy guests and with it being a old building we could hear every step and conversion they had, this kept us awake every night and with a uncomfortable bed and lumpy pillows made for a restless weekend. But regardless of this annoyance we really enjoyed Seahouses it's a beautiful part of Northumberland and will be visiting again, but not to this apartment.
We had a 4 night stay, was a vert clean 1st floor flat, 2 bathrooms, 2 good sized bedrooms & kitchen with every kitchen utensil fully stocked. Ample side parking for 2 vehicles per flat. The flat was very secure, key code communal access & individual flat key. Heating is storage heaters which we didn’t know how to work at first but the owners gave instructions promptly over the phone to resolve. We also had our dog, there were no problems, lawn at the back of the house for her “bedtime walk”
The flat has a beach view from the side window which is located 2 minute walk away. Seahouses is a fantastic beach to rival any in the uk.
We have stopped in other flats in Seahouses but this was the best.
We will undoubtedly return to this flat & would fully recommend.

Not as pictures
Stay was ok but not quite as shown in pictures. Decor was dated and there was flooring missing around toilet and seal round bath was coming loose! My wife caught her new jeans on a sharp edge on the bedroom radiator and pulled the material. It was sharp enough to have caused a nasty cut had she not been wearing jeans and I would worry if a child caught themselves. The property is in a superb location.
Lovely apartment and excellent parking .
Everything you need is there and only a short walk in Seahouses. Lovely views of Farne Islands and Bamburgh Castle just outside the building .
Excellent communication with Bob and Linda.
Only minor thing would be the noise from upstairs apartment .

Hot water and water use problems. Poor reaction from owners who did not believe us.
Sunday morning no hot water anywhere except in shower on separate system. Tried to sort in various ways. Reported to owners 9am Monday morning who showed no sense of urgency. They live 60 miles away from property! Plumber arrived Tuesday morning and discovered electrical fault. Very disappointing. They should have a local agent.Water system not suitable for 2 bathrooms as 2nd one and kitchen were without water when bath used in en-suite one. We run 60 properties ourselves and know how landlords should behave!
Great location with easy access to amenities. Comfortable flat with
all that we required. Sometimes water pressure affected shower pulsing. Overall excellent.
This property is perfectly located for a week at the stunning beach of Seahouses. Lots of nesting birds in residence this week too, along with stunning sunsets. Clean and well equipped with great parking.
First visit and can’t wait to go back .
Great location and well equipped apartment with sea view.

About the host
Hosted by Linda Cole
We both grew up in the North East and live here still. We have been regular visitors to Seahouses and the Northumberland area certainly for most of our adult lives. We have holidayed with our children as well as regular day trips in the summer so know these beautiful area's very well. We hope others will enjoy the benefits we love too.
Why they chose this property
We feel the property is beautifully positioned opposite the Farne Islands and looking North to Bamburgh Castle. and only a 'stones throw' from the beach. We are always rested and refreshed after a visit.
