We had a lovely time at Seal Rocks. Val was so helpful especially when we got lost initially and checked to see if we had arrived safe and sound!The accommodation was as described, but a lot bigger than we thought it would be - was shocked at the size of the first floor bedroom.There was everything you needed to prepare meals, and plenty of crockery/cutlery etc. The log burner just helped make everything so cosy.The welcome pack was a lovely surprise and the brownies were lush - thank you.Well what can we say about the views - our first night there was an amazing sunset - we just sat in the lounge watching it. My husband was disappointed no seals were seen - but a good excuse (not that we need one) to return.Thank you Val, we loved it. Be back soon.

We had a wonderful week at Seal Rocks with our toddler and dog. Despite it being January, we enjoyed manly fine weather and loved watching the sunrises and spotting the seals and seabirds right outside. When it was windy and rainy we felt very smug to be so warm and cosy in the house. It was lovely and warm, there was a very generous supply of fire wood and the beds and sofas were super comfortable. We cooked meals each evening and had everything we needed in the kitchen. We also greatly appreciated the kind offer of a high chair and cot for our little boy. Everything in the house was high quality and all the decor and fittings were very modern and clean. The beds were fantastic and we all slept wonderfully. We’d love to return.
