Help identifying two Brit films

For the longest time I've been trying to find these 2 Brit films I saw years ago. I will try to describe the best I can remember.
1) A kid, about 10-12, lived alone with his mother near the sea. The kid was obsessed with freighters and ships the like, wanted to be a sea captain when he grew up. His mother meets a sea captain and begins a romance with him. I don't remember why but the kid gets mad and tries to sabotage the relationship, maybe even kill the captain, I can't recall. Another scene that may trigger a memory is one of the boy peeping through a hole in the wall watching his mother undress.
Seemed to be a 60s or 70s movie, or just made to look that way. Hard to tell with the quaint English setting.
2) I believe it was a thriller/horror type of flick. A family was vacationing in a rental cottage on some water. Two younger guys, 20s, were trying to kill them. The main bad guy had dark hair and always wore long sleeves. The long sleeves had something to do with the story, he told everyone he had eczema though.
Seemed to be made in the 90s.
I know they're very vague but if anyone can help I greatly appreciate it. Been driving me mad. They might even be indie films, i've no recollection.
Cheers

Sorry I can't be more helpful.
From the trailer I saw on youtube for the 1997 version... I think we have a winner! I'll delve in further to verify but I'm fairly certain that's one down! Thank you, sir!
