We hired the house for 6 adults. 3 couples. It was fully equipped for everything we needed. Very clean and tidy. Great layout and close to amenities. We had 3 cars but only 2 fit on the drive. Wasn’t an issue we just parked one on the road. Will definitely rebook this cottage.

We have stayed at the Captain's Rest twice over the last couple of years and find it extremely comfortable, great value and perfectly placed on the edge of Seahouses.
