Just to add to previous commentswe had a couple nice days where it would have been nice to sit outside, but the outdoor furniture was locked up. There was also no Hoover when the notes indicated there was. Againgreat location, but some simple, likely inexpensive, updating to the interior would go a long way.

We were a party of eight and found the property to be small for our needs especially regarding food preparation and cooking.

Seafields has become a family favourite holiday place, this time with the newest addition, my 8 month old granddaughter.
