St Cuthbert's House at the
North-East England Tourism Awards 2009
We're so pleased to have received a Bronze Award in the 'B&B/ Guest Accommodation of the Year 2009' category of the
North East England Tourism Awards 2009. The award means that we're considered to be one of the best three B&B's in the North-East, which is a great accolade!
Fancy a drink?
St Cuthbert's House is fully licensed, so you can enjoy a drink any time you want. We've put together a great wine list (well, we were helped by a merchant who really knows what he's doing!) including house wine which tastes very much more expensive than it is. And - our speciality - we're stocking loads of real ales brewed in Northumberland - amazing! We stretched the boundary slightly to include The Durham Brewery - because they brew a beer called St Cuthbert, which we just had to have as our 'house beer'!
Seen our Guests' Gallery?
We invite our guests to send us a few photos after their holiday in this beautiful area, and we've created a Guest Gallery on Flickr. There's some really interesting stuff on there now, and you can take a look by clicking here.
Green is the new Gold...
We've been awarded a Gold Standard by the
Green Tourism Business Scheme, and we're really pleased to be doing our bit to save the world.
St Cuthbert's House enters the blogosphere
We have a blog which you can find here. We're using it to ramble on about life in a guest house in Northumberland. We also have a new Facebook page too - why not sign up to become a 'fan' if you're a Facebooker...
North Northumberland Local Food Awards
Our commitment to using local food supplies has brought us recognition in this excellent local initiative.
Keep in touch through those social media things...
We're trying to move with the times here at St Cuthbert's House, and so we have all kinds of trendy ways you can keep in touch with us. They are the future - tools for the brave new cyberworld, apparently - or so we're told, by the same industry insiders who said music downloading would really catch on. Oh, wait...
So, we have a blog here, a Facebook page, a Flickr photostream, and a Tripadvisor listing - and now you can also follow us on Twitter. We've included the Tripavisor and Twitter panels down at the bottom of the page - just because we can.
But these swishy new technology tools are a poor substitute for real human contact and community - so pick the phone up, and come to stay!

St Cuthbert's House is a former Presbyterian church building, built in 1810. It's in the quiet hamlet of North Sunderland, adjacent to the popular village of Seahouses, on the Northumberland coast. The house is about half a mile from the bustling Seahouses harbour, and the village centre shops. You can walk there in about 10 minutes, or drive there in 1. But here - it's quiet.
We’ve renovated this historic former church, to create a luxurious and beautifully designed house for up to twelve people. It’s a Grade II 'listed building', with its charm and history preserved - but the renovation has enabled us to incorporate every modern convenience and some luxurious touches into the six ensuite bedrooms, and the beautiful, functional living spaces.

The house is so much more than simply a place to stay…it’s a place to inspire and stir you, and to provide a memorable experience of hospitality.
