Our visit to our favourite city was complimented by staying in this beautiful two level modern home in Seatoun. Epic views of the harbour and coastline. Owner Andrew was professional, friendly and so well organised. Private and quiet. The home was immaculate. Spa pool was oh so relaxing. Linen fresh and clean and crisp. It gets a resounding ‘brilliant’ from us.
