Well appointed and equipped, Seascape was absolutely spotless. There were some lovely touches for Christmas, with a tree and decorations, but subtle. Even Christmas napkins. The thoughtfulness in providing baking trays for a turkey etc was another indication of the welcome, along with milk in the fridge and a bottle of bubbly plus nibbles. Very glad this was recommended by friends, and suspect we will become repeat visitors. Thank you
