Seahouses is fundamentally a base for exploring the coast and the waters around it. The Farne Islands, rated 4.9 from over 1,100 reviews, draw visitors for boat trips—Golden Gate Boat Trips is rated 4.6 from 198 reviews and operates from the harbour. Bamburgh Beach nearby is rated 4.8, and The Bunker, rated 4.0, offers something different on land. There is also a treasure hunt trail to work through. The town has enough accommodation to handle people staying for a few days rather than passing through: a dozen or so hotels and guest houses, ranging from The Olde Ship Inn and The Links Hotel (both solidly rated above 4.4) to Dunelm House, which scores 4.9 from 117 reviews.
If you are planning a trip built around coastal exploration and boat-based days out, Seahouses works well as a place to sleep and eat locally. The town itself is compact and centred on the working activity of the harbour rather than the usual trappings of a holiday destination.

The character of the place is clearly maritime. Most visitors come for the water—the islands, the boat trips, the beach—and the accommodation reflects that this is a working harbour town with visitors rather than a resort built for them. Several of the hotels have sea views or are positioned to take advantage of the waterfront. The Links Hotel and Beach House Hotel both carry ratings in the 4.5 range, suggesting reliable, straightforward stays. Wyndgrove House and The Bamburgh Castle Inn round out the options, each rated above 4.0.
