Seahouses holiday home

Pleasantly surprised by the accommodation. It really has the wow factor and provided everything we needed for a fantastic family break.The close proximity to the town and all its facilities was a bonus, we didn’t need to use our cars for the entire weekend enjoying the costal walks and cycling opportunities from the accommodation.

Excellent family holiday.

We had a lovely stay at Sailaway with all the family while we were celebrating my Dads 70th Birthday. The house was very clean, spacious and it was a lovely touch to have a cream cake in the fridge on arrival. Fantastic break, lots to do, we will definitely recommend it to others.

Excellent holiday

We’ve stayed in this property before and we enjoyed our stay again. There’s loads of room in the house, there are five big bedrooms and the kitchen is a great communal space. It’s well positioned in Seahouses, a very short walk to shops and the harbour.

Fantastic location and facilities

We visited in May for four days and could not have been more impressed with this fantastic accommodation. Everything we could possibly need had been provided and the décor and furnishings were lovely. The beds were incredibly comfortable, which after long days of exploring were very much appreciated. The area itself is beautiful with lots to do within easy reach. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

69th birthday celebration

Sail away was a beautiful spacious house within walking distance of all amenities in Seahouses. It was perfect for 5 couples. The kitchen was well equipped and we loved gathering around the large kitchen table. The log burner was great as we weren’t blessed with sunshine. Plenty off street parking too. Just perfect!

Fabulous break

Very impressed with Sail Away cottage, location very good, cleanliness exceptional, rooms large and airy, very well equipped. Would certainly recommend. Would return. Only issue is that VRBO had hot tub listed in amenities however the hot tub is actually at the local leisure centre, the owner has requested VRBO amend this.
