Seascape is a lovely cottage in a great location. It’s a very well equipped cottage with everything you could possibly want. Beds were comfortable & the extras such as milk & bottle of Prosecco very much appreciated.However, the doors were very squeaky which was a bit annoying at night. Otherwise we had a perfect week.
