The generosity of the owners makes you feel very welcome. Even in the winter Seahouses is well worth a visit for beautiful coastal walks, atmospheric pubs and independent local shops.

This cute little house is in a great location only two minutes from the harbour and the famous Olde Ship Inn. The house itself has everything we needed for our stay with a very well equipped kitchen. We were very comfortable and appreciated the added extras provided for us by the owners.

A wonderful gift of prosecco and biscuits on arrival. Niggles first. The main bedroom bed. uncomfortable, Not everybody likes a bed of bricks. Secondly, the shower, The bathroom was fab, loads of hot water, but a very difficult and disappointing shower. There was also a hole in the bathroom door. There was plenty of books to read, with the offer of taking it home if you don't finish it, which we thought was very nice. Games galore for the kids on rainy days, for the older kids (including husbands !) The garage. The entrance to the garage is outside of the property, which can be a bit daunting on darker nights. A kitchen with everything you could wish for. Apart from the washer being in the garage. A set of drawers in the main bedroom would be useful. There was blankets in the footstool for the nippy nights and dvd collection that could rival any shop. All in all we really enjoyed our stay. Definately a home from home and hopefully will be back soon ! Thank you for a fabulous few days !
