I have the advantage of living in Cornwall, we’re never more than 30 minutes from water and that keeps the temperatures a moderate version of what everyone else gets, while you’re cooking in 30+ heat it’s barely above 25 down here and when you get snowed in, it’s a bit nippy.
The downsides are there’s no jobs, all business are small to medium with a very few exceptions and unless you work in care, retail or production lines, there’s not much going on in any large scale. Upsides are if you want views, you have to be very unlucky not to get a great one from somewhere in your house.
Services are stretched in Winter and just about holding on when our population doubles (nearly trebles) in summer.

I'll try to give my honest opinion but am always open to learning.
