About Us

The Waterford Arms is situated in the sleepy village of Seaton Sluice, overlooking the picturesque fishing boat-filled estuary, and one of the famous Northumberland sandy white beaches. We offer you a warm, Northumbrian welcome & hospitality for a drink in the bar or beer garden overlooking the sea, a meal in our restaurant or an overnight stay in one of our en-suite guest rooms.

Built in 1899, The Waterford Arms has the charm of a late Victorian era building with the comfort and relaxed style of today. Its beach front location, quality food and friendly service all combine to make a visit to the Waterford Arms one to remember.

Home of the famous ‘Waterford Whale’, we have been renowned for over 25 years for our quality local seafood meaning you will be spoilt for choice if you choose to dine with us for a cosy evening meal or hearty lunch.

We are located on the Northumberland coastal route which makes The Waterford Arms a perfect base to start out or visit for keen walkers and cyclists with lock-up facilities available for bicycles. To set you up perfectly for a day exploring the beautiful Northumbrian coastline why not fuel up with a hearty breakfast? We cover for all dietary needs and as such we offer vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free friendly options.
