We really enjoyed our time at Sea Dreams, and would definitely book again. We liked the area, and found it to be more central that we initially thought , close to the park, station , and many local shops and pubs. Really nice garden. Thank you to the owners , we did not want for anything.

Would love to have seen linings/black out linings in the living room as it was hard to watch tv even with the curtains drawn
