Overview
Property code: OC-SEAVI

Stunning sea views from this cottage make it a special place for holidays. The tidy Victorian terraced property sits just across from the National Trust headland of Morte Point with spectacular coastal views across to Hartland Point and out to Lundy Island. These views can also be enjoyed from the front area of decking where patio furniture gives the option for al fresco dining. There are also attractive countryside views from the rear as the cottage backs on to National Trust land. The roomy living area has a traditional stone fireplace with attractive brick trim creating an eye-catching focal point while the compact but functional kitchen is towards the rear of this open plan area. Beyond the kitchen is another patio area.

Mortehoe Heritage Centre recounts the area's rich maritime history. Mortehoe is the starting point for many scenic walks along this dramatic stretch of coastline. Just north of the village, and reached only on foot, is Rockham Beach lying at the base of the 100 foot cliff; an ideal location for a peaceful day on the sand. Another great beach nearby is Barricane beach just on the outskirts of the village. It’s a sandy cove perfect for families with low ledges that are great for jumping off. There’s also the wonderful, but seasonal, Barricane Beach café, serving up the distinctly un-Devon flavours of Sri Lanka. A short drive south takes you to Woolacombe, which has three miles of award-winning golden sands. Its beach has been voted number one in the UK by TripAdvisor guests for the last two years. It also holds the England For Excellence Gold Award for best family resort and was voted the Best British Beach in the Mail On Sunday. Lifeguards ensure safe swimming during the summer. However it’s not just the beach that brings visitors to Woolacombe. There's a wide selection of restaurants, teashops and bars

We have stayed at this cottage 3 times now and always find it good, we have 2 dogs and its ideal location for walking and then chilling by the log burner on the evening. Ideal for the pub up the road as well.

Lovely location with plenty of walks. Local amenities - pub, tea rooms, P.O. provide welcome essentials. If you are after a quiet and relaxing week away this is perfect for that.

Had a lovely week at Seaview, with some lovely walks along the coast. Then settling down in the evening with the log burner on which was needed as it was chilly on an evening. Nice cottage. WiFi is brilliant a good speed which is needed with no phone signal.

Wow! We had the best week ever in Sea View. The cottage was cosy and welcoming like a warm hug. The views were spectacular and the location was brilliant. We were out, busy every day but coming 'home' was just lovely. The cottage was comfy and well equipped and the beds were great. We really didn't want to come home we loved this place.

A comfortable cottage, with two sitting out areas. Ideally located for the small village of Mortehoe, with several places offering food, with easy access to many local walks and only a short walk from Woolacombe with plenty of shops.
