Emma
We just got back from a lovely stay at the Sea View Cottage. Everything was spotless and the beds were so comfy, we slept really well. The kitchen had all we needed, which was great. The kids (and us adults) had a blast in the pool - it was super clean - and enjoyed the games room and playground area. There’s a lovely field right across for dog walksand we even made friends with the donkey! The view from the windows was stunning - not sure if all places have that, but it really made our stay special.

We loved Seaview Cottage! The views are absolutely stunning and super peaceful. The spacious patio was perfect for relaxingand the donkeys were so friendly - my kids adored them. The games room and play park kept everyone entertained. The pool was warm and very clean, with great indoor facilities. Only slight downside was the limited opening hours, especially during the week, but overall, a fantastic stay!
