All to a very high specification and so comfortable. Although not in a pretty location the off road parking was a bonus and very easy access to the shops, pubs and sea with easy access to and from the property in the car. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family and would consider revisiting. The welcome pack was so thoughtful and very much appreciated.

We loved the little touches - the welcome pack in the kitchen for example -delicious goodies inside and devoured instantly! The beds were superb, comfortable to sleep in with plenty of pillows and clean bedding throughout. We loved the location too - able to walk through the high street and straight onto the beach. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property for a family to stay in and would consider booking again if we want to stay in Seaton.
