Spotlessly clean, well equipped, comfortable and great location for walking into Seahouses and the beach and surrounding areas. Garden not enclosed but a nice private sitting out area at the side of the house. Wasn't an issue for my dog as she doesn't wander but may be a problem for other dog owners. Would definitely stay again.

Very well located an easy walk from shops and harbour. Only criticism is that the bathroom in the ground floor bedroom was a bit tight for a person with limited mobility. An excellent kitchen diner. A great base for both coast and heritage.
