Guests say
Seaton Cottage is consistently praised for its excellent location, comfort, and well-equipped facilities. Nestled in a peaceful coastal village, it offers stunning sea views and is ideal for those seeking tranquillity. The traditional fisherman's house has been tastefully renovated, providing a clean and homely environment, though one review suggests a need for more thorough housekeeping.
The cottage generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests noting it has been very clean. However, one review mentioned that housekeeping could be improved, as they found crumbs and dirt upon closer inspection.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful coastal setting and proximity to the sea, offering great views and a peaceful atmosphere. It's noted as ideal for hikes and getting away from it all, though a car is necessary due to the hamlet's seclusion.
Guests find the cottage very comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen and a wonderful living space. The traditional and homely feel, along with friendly neighbours, contributes to the overall comfort.
The facilities are frequently mentioned as being among the best experienced by guests, with a particularly well-equipped kitchen and everything needed for a hassle-free stay. The presence of a fantastic fire adds to the appeal.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Seaton Cottage is a traditional fisherman's house. It has been completely and tastefully been renovated. The house and especially the kitchen is equipped well. The house has been very clean.Collieston is a very small hamlet - you absolutely need to have a car if you stay there. There are some restaurants nearby, but you need to drive. There are several nice hikes you can do from Seaton Cottage.We enjoyed our time at Seaton Cottage and would definitely book again.

A quaint cottage, with great views of the old harbour! One of the best equipped cottages we have experienced. It's a little gem, a stone throw away from the ocean!
