We had a wonderful stay at Seaforth. The house is immaculate with a clever layout and beautifully presented.

Seaforth is a bright and interesting house, offering comfortable and spotlessly clean accommodation and a full range of facilities for eight of us staying for a long weekend. The pool table was a great hit, as was the Square and Compass in the village. We were lucky with the winter sunshine, and enjoyed local walks. I hope we return sometime.
