This is the ideal spot for gathering, soaking up the views and enjoying spending time together. If the sun is shining then open the French door out onto the terrace where you can pull up a chair and enjoy some holiday time alfresco. Imagine those barmy Devon summer evenings when you can pour yourself a glass of your favourite tipple and watch the sun go down; holidays don’t get much better than that. When tummies start to rumble, the kitchen is fully fitted with all the amenities you need to cook some delicious food for the family and the dining area is a charming space to enjoy tucking into some hearty fayre with the table overlooking the terrace for maximum impact of those views. After all that fresh air you’ll be ready for bed so make your way to either the king-size or the single bedroom; both are stylishly presented and the perfect place to lay your weary heads and to wake up to in the morning. Ocean View is in a wonderful location offering elevated views of the sea but also within just a short distance of the delights of Seaton with its tramway, shops and amenities and its wetlands nature reserve. For some great family days out within a short but scenic drive head to Beer Quarry Caves, Axe Valley Wildlife Park, Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre, Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens and Dinosaurland Fossil Museum. Beaches well worth visiting include Charmouth, West Bay, Seatown and Weymouth and towns to make a day out visiting range from Dorchester and Axminster to Lyme Regis and Christchurch. Ocean View is a stylish apartment with stunning views.
Seaton is a seaside town in East Devon on the south coast. It faces onto Lyme Bay, to the west of the mouth of the River Axe with red cliffs to one side and white cliffs on the other. Axmouth and Beer are nearby. A sea wall provides access to the mostly shingle beach stretching for about a mile, and a small harbour. Seaton is on the stretch of Devon coastline, known as the Jurassic Coast, a designated World Heritage Site, and the town offers a good range of shops, friendly cafes, restaurants and pubs.

Well equipped and comfortable. Surprise welcome pack very much appreciated. Would have given 5 stars had there been a small heater or instructions to turn boiler on for heating. Two evenings due to bad weather left lounge quite cold and needed a little heat. Unfortunately there wasn't any. But this would not stop us returning, highly recommended to anyone.

Very handy for Seaton and walks from the door along the coast. Very comfortable and very clean. Internet connection is patchy.

However, the outside was in need of some tlc. The garden was in need of maintenance and tended to spoil the appearance. Inside, however, the rooms were large with high ceilings and fitted out with expensive furniture and fittings. The weather during our stay was appalling and the large rooms needed extra heating. Would recommend a stay here.
