Seaton Cottage is a wonderful holiday base only metres away from a delightful beach nestled in a small harbour. With walks from the door and easy access to larger communities should you wish to explore the area. The cottage was very well stocked and comfortable and the seat out front was very well used as the view was great.I would recommend it highly!

Wonderful cottage. V comfortable. Everything we needed and in a great location especially for kids and swimming. Stairs coulf be s problem for older or younger toddlers. Limited choice if wanting to eat out. We usually make our own so ideal. My daughter us 8 so the steep stairs were a novelty not a danger.
