"CONTEMPORARY COOL

When designers Fiona McKeith and Roger Copestake had children, they embarked on a mission: to prove that family holiday homes could look just as stylish as their favourite boutique hotels. The Look Out is proof of the pudding, a startling penthouse-style pad on four storeys, decked in nautical chic and with a gull’s-eye view of Seahouses harbour. Altogether the couple have overhauled 25 fishermen’s roosts along the Northumberland coast, adding funky, family-friendly interiors to every one of them
