This is a great house, well equipped and comfortable, in a wonderful location, with beautiful views. We loved Seaview and the house is just minutes from the lovely beach and local amenities.

What a wonderful location and a lovely house, I don't think we could have done better, the upside down took a bit of getting used to, but the photos on the website of the veiw from the balcony don't do it justice, a gentle 30 min stroll along the front to the boathouse even less to the old fort, both do great food
