Herring Masters Cottage
About the home
This superb three bedroom cottage is located in the heart of the historic harbour area in Seahouses. As the name suggests, the cottage was once owned by the Herring Master and is adjacent to one of the few remaining herring yards in the village (no longer in use).
The cottage itself, which retains all of its original character, has been tastefully decorated throughout, with quality furniture, carpets and wooden floors. The multi fuel stove set within an inglenook fireplace in the lounge is a fabulous feature. The cottage is also fitted with electric panel heaters throughout which keeps the cottage cosy all year round.
