Quite disappointed with this holiday cottage was lovely had all equipment you needed however it really did need a deep clean, neighbour at number 3 was very rude accusing us of being disrespectful when family & children were laughing at 8-30’ish at night causing us to leave earlier than planned.

Our stay at Seal View was very enjoyable nice clean and comfy cottage, nice and quiet place, and lovely to watch the tide coming in and out especially on a stormy day. It is well placed for travelling around the borders and well within just few a miles for shopping and eating out. It was so nice we booked again for later in the year.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Seal View. The cottage was clean and very cosy, perfect for a stormy week in January. The location is ideally situated for local amenities, walks and fantastic coastline. The cottage had everything we needed for a home away from home. Will definitely be coming back.
