Seabank House Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"Such a beautiful quaint old home turned into a charming BnB. The husband and wife team have poured their heart and soul into this place and it shows. We stayed in the Royal Room which felt exactly that. Rich dark colours and thoughtful touches of decor made it feel very comfortable. And speaking of which, the bed comfort was amazing! The place is very quiet and has a sitting room to sip tea or coffee after a day of road tripping. The breakfast included was fantastic (French toast with fruit and yogurt and coffee) and they even went out of their way to provide a gluten free option for me. Super happy with everything and would definitely stay here again!"
