The cottage is situated in a very quiet part of the village, with easy access to the beach. Ideal for dogs, but not luxury accommodation.

Smashing relaxing holiday. Easy access to the beach. Ideal for oldies like us and families with children- miles of sandy beaches.

Lovely feel and location. Very cosy during challenging weather conditions. Ignore references to WiFi and smart tv - the broadband connection was not working during our stay. As mentioned by other reviewers a general refresh would work wonders.

We loved our stay at Seashells. The cottage was just what I had envisaged. It is perfect for people with dogs or couples who want a bit of peace and quiet. It was beautifully decorated with a seaside theme and had all the equipment we wanted.

We had a fab week at Seashells. The views of the sea from the sofa and bedroom are sensational, and the property is wrapped round with lovely views on all sides. A short walk to the dog friendly beach, beautiful sand and large empty spaces. We visited the Lighthouse pub a few times for food. Great food and prices and very dog friendly. BeautifullyRead more quiet and relaxing. Hide

Stated electric log effect fire but just central heating. Excellent location, outlook to sea or fields at almost every outlook. Ideal location for walks and beaches. Was disappointed that there was no baking trays to use in the oven when it is a self catering cottage. Overall cleanliness not too bad but oven was quite grimy and also drawers in bedrRead moreoom were not very clean, the left hand side bedside cabinet looked like crumbs in and the drawer with hairdryer had all loose hairs in. Generally a very comfy and compact property but the pipe from the bath leaked into conservatory , so mop and bucket required frequently. Because of location and Seaview expected to pay a higher price but felt it was lacking a few pieces of equipment or features. We book with holiday cottages.com regularly which I believe you are amalgamating with, and have generally been happy with service. The only clause we don't like is that both cottages booked with original cottages is that we have had to pay a non refundable damage fee. We are a 56 and 66 year old couple who aren't going to be wrecking properties. Whereas with holiday cottages this is optional. The above re the cottage are not criticisms and we had a fantastic week but we did leave comments in the guest book too. Hide
