    Attention to detail throughout was exceptional, one of the nicest places we have stayed in Seahouses. Only slight downside is the sofas in the living room are old and not very comfortable but overall, we would stay here again.

    Everything you could possibly need for long or short stay. Location is fantastic a few minutes from the harbour. Excellent selection of family games to entertain children in the evening. I would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to return.
