Guests say
The Butcher's Flat in Seahouses is praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and convenient location. Guests appreciate the dog-friendly touches and the well-designed open-plan living space. While some mention early morning noise from the butcher's shop below and a desire for lighter quilts in summer, the overall experience is positive, with many willing to return.
Guests consistently describe the flat as clean and comfortable, indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The flat's proximity to the town centre, harbour, and seafront is frequently highlighted, suggesting a very good location.
The flat is generally found to be comfortable, though there are comments about the quilts being too thick for summer, which suggests room for improvement.
The flat is well-equipped, but feedback about the lack of a dishwasher and a small fridge, as well as noise from the shop below, affects the facilities score.
Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches such as treats and dog bowls, although it should be noted that such amenities are a courtesy and not guaranteed.

Love the area. Kitchen well equipped athough would have liked a dishwasher for the amount we paid. Fridge very small. The Butchers shop underneath flat very noisy from 5.30a.m ( not their fault they are running a business) but you get woken up on business days early.

Just remember that the flat IS above a shop, and the staff do greet each other enthusiastically very early in the morning! (The owners of the flat don't try to hide this fact, the photos make this very clear.) The flat itself was comfortable and had plenty of space. In the town we ate at the Olde Ship Inn and the Italian restaurant. Both very good. Fish and chips from the smallest fish and chip shop also good. Warm welcome from the Methodist Church at the Sunday service.
