We were mesmerised by the views on our way to Seacroft, and it's one of those rare experiences where the destination is just as great as the journey. The land overlooks some truly magnificent scenery, with the ocean before you and verdant hills behind as it's situated in a lush valley. There's a cow farm next door so you get all the rich, natural smells associated with agrarian environments. That pungency might not be to everyone's preferences, but I personally enjoyed the earthiness of the country, combined with the salt of the waves crashing upon the shore several hundred feet away. Here, you are truly in awe of nature.
The accommodations and amenities themselves are excellent and provide you with superb quality comfort; from the impressively well stocked communal kitchen (with at least a dozen knives-lots of variety; cleaving, cutting, paring etc and twice as many pans and pots, plus over 6 stove tops) to the living room with its charmingly traditional wood fed fireplace and the adjacent rec-room with its miniature pool table and 40 year old full sized ping pong one, saved out of sentiment by Sam's husband who's had it since he was young! You can bond with the hosts over a match, relax in front of the fireplace or attempt some culinary finesse all under one roof with the private spaces (cosy dorms and clean lavatories) conveniently close by, just 5-10 steps away. Sam herself is an extremely kind, efficient host who introduced us to everything including her personally tended herb garden (another fantastic feature that proves her dedication and passion for the place). Her family are delightful and livened the stay, however short it was, while also generating a wonderful warmth deeply appreciated as the night gets chilly, so close to the sea. The only thing I regret is the brevity of the visit, make sure to extend the duration, this is definitely an airbnb with both the place and people you'll want to slow down and enjoy, marvel at and remember for a long while.
