Our family had the most wonderful one week stay from 15/08/2026 at Seascape, Berry House. From the moment we were welcomed by Bob and Lorraine and introduced to the beautiful "Seascape" our home for the week, we knew this was going to be a wonderful stay. Bob and Lorraine and not forgetting Millie their dog, immediately treated us as friends and throughout our stay they proved to be extremely helpful and genuinely lovely people. A stay at Seascape holiday cottage is just simply superb in everyway. Brian and Family
