The cottage is in an excellent location and was generally clean and comfortable. We would like to make some observations for the benefit of future guests. Unusually for a holiday cottage there were no cleaning materials other than washing-up liquid and dishwasher tablets in the welcome box. It's usual to find some surface cleaner, toilet cleaner etc to keep things clean during our stay. There was was also no handsoap which we found a bit odd. Some of the painted surfaces such as doors and handrails appeared very dirty although I think this was due to the quality of the paintwork. In common with previous guests we found the small sofa in the lounge to be very worn and uncomfortable. Our son also found one of the beds in the twin room to be very uncomfortable. None of these issues spoilt our stay and we did particularly appreciate the constant low level heat.

Everything was as described and very clean and we enjoyed our stay here. We had a couple of small maintenance issues which were resolved extremely efficiently and promptly which was very impressive. The cottage was very quiet however really close to all the amenities of Seahouses and only a few yards from the England Coast Path. We thought Seahouses was lovely with lots to do in it and around it.

The pictures are beautiful. We particularly loved the top bedroom - very light and with great views. The kitchen was well equipped. The sofa under the window in the sitting area is not comfortable and a bit smelly -we suspect there had been dogs sitting on it. The parking is not easy, fortunately we had a small car. Loved the location - so close to the harbour and to the sea walks.
