Its very convenient for Seahouses harbour & village centre. It is handy that you can park in front of the garage next to the house. The games area looked good, but as we had great weather we didn't use it. We found the remote for the fire tv a bit confusing but this was ok when we got the hang of it. Maybe some instructions would be useful. There were instructions for everything else. The house was very warm, so we turned off the storage heaters in a couple of rooms, but was cosy on the cold days. Bed was comfortable.
