The position of the property is excellent, being close to everything in the centre of Seahouses. My only disappointment was the parking, and I note this has been mentioned before. The parking space is at the back of the property and with the shop workers parking in the alleyway it made it extremely tight trying to get into the parking space, for a nervous parker (myself, unfortunately), it did cause some concern and we used to delay getting back to the cottage to ensure the parked car would be gone. This concern aside, we had a lovely week away.

There was everything we could possibly need. It was in a very convenient situation for the facilities in the town,and also places further afield. The folder of places to visit was useful and very comprehensive. The only problem was that there were no instructions about how to use the grill and oven, we managed to work out the oven but not the grill. Overall a really pleasant stay.
