Comfortable and clean with a friendly host nearby (who kindly took in a bouquet delivery for us while we were our!) The view is across the lawns with the sea to the left - literally a a few metres along a private road and across the quiet main road to a beautiful beach walk. A great place to get away from it all!

The property is ideally situated in Seahouses and has everything you need to make your stay relaxing. It is just far enough out of the main centre of the village and just far enough from the main road, but the whole coastline is easily accessible and we walked for miles during our stay.
