We absolutely loved our time away at Seal View. Rugged, costal and everything we expected plus more for our trip to the Scottish boarders. Sitting by the open fire each night whilst listening to the sea outside was just blissful.

Good well kept cottage in a quiet peaceful location. Everything you might need is provided with tea, coffee, sugar and a stocked mini fridge with beers and soft drinks as a welcome gift. Thankyou. Open fire was nice to have (logs and coals available locally) but the central heating was good enough without the fire. The owner explained the bathroom was soon to be refurbished but it was just fine for our needs. Had a great week and would happily return another time.
