Good to Know

The Olde Ship is a long-established, family-run inn above Seahouses Harbour, with rooms and cottages. Its bars are packed with nautical memorabilia gathered over many years, from ships' lamps and figureheads to old photographs of the fishing fleet.

Why it's on our list: it's one of the most characterful pubs on the Northumberland coast, with good real ale, proper pub food and the feel of a place that hasn't changed for the sake of it.

Worth knowing: it gets busy in summer, so arrive early for a table.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.

A little about us...

Heather & Sand is our little corner of Northumberland — a collection of places, stories, walks and discoveries from a county we love.

Through our Journal, Guide and Listed pages, we hope to help you discover somewhere new, revisit an old favourite or simply enjoy a little Northumberland from wherever you happen to be.
