Home description
Hastings House is a 5* Gold award winning self catering property. Ideal for families and groups getting together, interest groups like golfers, walkers, birdwatchers who seek luxury at the end of their day, or as we have had many, friends getting together for re-unions from across the country and even the world.
If you've brought the kids - they'll have fun making ice cream and baking with mum or gran or they might just want to while away the hours in the games room that's when the weather might not be great. When it is you probably won't be able to get them off the beach. Re-live your youth, rockpooling, take a boat to see the seals and birdlife of the Farne Islands or explore the history of this part of England.

The Northern England / Yorkshire / Northumberland region
The North Northumberland coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with miles of sandy beaches, Castles standing guard over the coast, wildlife breeding grounds for grey seals and puffins to name just a couple. Gateway to the Farne Islands Seahouses is a bustling harbour catering for both the small local fishing fleet and visitor boats taking day trippers, orthothologists and photographers 2 miles offshore to the outcrop of Farne Islands.
15 miles south is the dominent Alnwick Castle with its world famous Garden, Inland are more castles, historical battle fields like Flodden, fantastic walking in the Cheviots, and sections of long walks pass through the area like the end of the Pennine Way, St. Oswald's Way, St. Cuthberts Way. Cycle routes around quiet local lanes or chunks of longer rides like the Coast and Castle route 1 between Newcastle and Edinburgh. All of which make this a county of many facets, there is literally something for everyone, young or old, activity orientated or sightseeing mad there is just loads to see and do here and we're confident your break won't be long enough to do it all, or so our past visitors tell us.... - you'll just have to come back again and again....
Seahouses area
Seahouses, once a busy fishing village, is still a bustling tourist destination. The harbour area is the embarkation point for those wishing to visit the Farne Islands, be it for birdwatching, photography or diving, and the pretty Old Quarter of the village set above the harbour, is laid out in stone built "squares". Once full of fisher lasses feaverishly splitting, salting & barreling herring for the home and European market, the squares have now been converted into a variety of cottages and although some are occupied by families who have lived in the village for many generations, in the main the properties are used as holiday homes.
Visit us in June for the Seahouses Festival and check out the website for other festivals and attractions. Visit us during May, June, and July to see the Puffins on the Farne Islands. Seals can be seen during the year.
