Our Time at The Ocean Club
A familiar stop in Seahouses
It’s hard to imagine Seahouses without The Ocean Club now. Part of Seafield Caravan Park, it’s a welcome addition to the village and somewhere we regularly pop into for coffee, a light lunch or a slice of cake. We’ve yet to leave disappointed.
The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff are friendly and, crucially for us, dogs are welcome in the café. Meg is very much part of our lunch plans.
The cosy side or the light side?
We’ve given the seating areas our own names: the “cosy side”, with its carpeted floor, and the “light side”, beside the windows. We usually head for the latter, settling down with Meg and enjoying the view outside over a coffee.
There’s something lovely about having a familiar place where you can drop in without making an occasion of it. Sometimes coffee and cake are quite enough of an occasion themselves.
Beyond the café
We don’t “gym”, so we’ll leave a proper verdict on the fitness facilities to people who own more purposeful trainers. We’ve heard very good things about the gym, though, and the pool, jacuzzi and sauna add to what’s on offer in a small coastal village.
Heather & Sand verdict: A reliable favourite for coffee, light lunches and cake in Seahouses. Friendly staff, a relaxed atmosphere and room for Meg make it somewhere we’re always happy to return to. We’ll take the window seat.
