Had a lovely terrace, hot tub and great views. Good proximity to Westward Ho! But also far enough away to be peaceful.

Lovely spacious family home to accommodate our daughter Chloes 30th birthday celebrations.

The house is very spacious it had lots of room for everybody. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. The house was clean and tidy on arrival. Some of the beds unfortunately were very uncomfortable, you could feel the springs and it creaked whenever you moved.

Fabulous home hot tub and house spotless, room for 3cars. We were: 7 adults 3children a baby and 2dogs and there was everything in the house we needed. (Including bikes surfboards toys and games) Only negative we took our 83year old mother and she struggled with the 15 steps up to house and the walk to Westwood ho is about a 15 min downhill, we too k car and it was 1 hour to park behind the small Tesco.
April
The house was wonderful and had everything you have at home. The views from the windows in the front bedrooms were outstanding. We sat out on the patio every night. Had two bikes a BBQ and kayak's, boby boards, windbreaks everything you need for the beech.
David
Brilliant property for large family or large groups. Very well equipped with everything you could want and more. Nice short walk to Westward Hoe centre and beach. Our family really enjoyed our stay here aged ranging from 80-15 and a dog. I would highly recommend this property.

Had a lovely stay for my 50th. Comfortable homely feel to the house. Facilities were good, and especially enjoyed the hot tub. Close to the beach, loads of things to do.
Jane
A lovely big house, with ample room for our family party of 7 adults, 5 children ranging from 2 months to 7 years, and a mad dog. Well equipped kitchen, and the bed rooms with ensuite were great. The views across the bay were stunning especially as we were all able to sit around the large dining table to eat meals and look out. 10 minute walk to th e beach and sea front area. The hot tub was a bonus, and enjoyed most evenings. Helpful texts from owner to get heating going. Great holiday stay.
Chris
Best holiday cottage I have ever stayed at. The owners have supplied everything. Xbox, PS3 for kids, bikes, kayaks and a amazing woodburning stove.
Georgia
Lovely house, hosts were very welcoming bringing us logs for the fires. Only 10 minute walk to seafront and not far from supermarkets. Hot tub was lovely! Would definitely stay again.
John
Great house, we were a party of 6 adults and 1 dog and we all had lots of space along with areas such as the kitchen being very well equipped and the added bonus of a hot tub, also parking was very easy. The living room with its great log burner was very cosy after a day out on the beach and the huge dining room was perfect for Sunday lunch. Westwa rd Ho! is very nice and the beach is pristine, we had a great time and will definitely be back.
Jo
Lovely house with all the comforts from home, plenty of space, crockery etc, 2 fridges & freezers so no struggle putting your shopping away. Cleaned to a very high standard & the hot tub is lush! Just out of the main area, so a 10 minute walk to the shops & lovely beach. Lots of fantastic walks right on your doorstep or a short car journey away. Th e owners were easily contactable if there were any issues and very friendly.
Ben
We (four couples and two kids) had a great stay in Seadrift. The house is huge, plenty big enough both in terms of bedrooms and living space, great for both separate or group activities. Its really well equipped for entertainment and cooking, with everything you need for picnics and beach trips. The hot tub was great. This was the cleanest house we ve stayed in. We would have no hesitation recommending this property.
Sam
We had a good holiday, but the house is getting a little tired. Needs a new kitchen and showers. As the weather was not good we spent time in the lounge and for 9 adults and young people more sofas were needed. However the location was great and on the sunny days we went to wake boarding and the ultimate adventure park which were good value for mon ey with 5 young people.
Keith
A lovely house that was ideal for a large family group on a summer holiday. Within easy walking distance of sand and surf across Northam Burrows. The weather for our week was so good that little of the facilities inside the house were used. The front decking was ideal for relaxing and admiring the stupendous view. We also walked extensively across and around the Burrows (the visitor centre and cafe were much appreciated). We would recommend Bideford Art Gallery and associated bistro.
Lesley
The property was perfect for three families (10 people). Lovely sea views.
M
A very outside area and the hot tub was enjoyed. Lots of lovey places away from Westward Ho!
Caroline
We had a wonderful weekend for my daughters hen. The house is absolutely amazing and the view from the decking and two of the bedrooms is stunning! It was immaculate and everything is provided for an easy and comfortable stay. We even made use of the body boards. Location of house is just perfect with a 15 minute down hill walk to beach and town. H ot tub is added treat and all 10 of us fit in it. Thank you so much for helping us to make some wonderful memories. We will definitely be returning.

Michelle
This was a great home for some friends to go away and celebrate a birthday. Really spacious and bright with beach vibe decor and lovely views what more could you ask for from a seaside retreat. The dining area made every meal a celebration, the wood burner made our nights in, very cosy, the kitchen was well equipped for us to prepare some yummy hom e from home meals and the hot tub was an absolute delight after a cold dip in the Westward-Ho! sea pool. Everyone slept well in their beds:) Thank you

We had a fabulous week in this beautiful property. The location is perfect, with stunning views and only a short walk to the beach. The woodburners were perfect to snuggle up in front of after a bracing walk on the beach! We had a great time here and I would absolutely recommend it.

The house was amazing so cosy with all the personal touches. Candles, a huge basket of logs for the fire, lovely blankets for sitting outside and the lovely essentials including yummy biscuits left in the kitchen.

We have just come back from a long weekend and sea drift didn't disappoint. We were with family aged 10 years to 72 and we all enjoyed it. The owners Lisa and Ed sent me a lovely message a week before we were due to arrive with recommendations for meals etc. We would definitely recommend this property and would like to visit again.
