Welcoming family home.

Nice house and all that you need for a nice family break.

Kept my Yorkshire busy up and down the stairs

We had no problems with parking outside the house x 2 vehicles

Beach is a short walk away. Places to eat in the area The Blue Plate and worth a trip to Seaton to the Wave Bar.

Only negative would be the patio area needs some attention I.e weeding etc we also couldn't use barbecue as it hadn't been cleaned.

The house has great sea views. The lounge is on the third floor to make the most of the views.
