We really enjoyed our stay and the house was well-equipped. My only complaint was the heat in the house was uncomfortable without block-out blinds. We would have loved to have been able to close the curtains to block the sun from the living and bed rooms to keep the house a bit cooler.

The property was as promised in the advertisement. It had a good view from the balcony, was in a great location and was close to a number of amenities and public transport options.
Importantly, the house and all supplied linen and towels were clean and it appeared the property had been well looked after.
We would stay here again.

Short but great stay at Seaview Sanctuary with the family and dogs. Plenty of space and easy drive to nearby cafe/ pub and beach, plus only a short walk to a very dog friendly park ( more dogs than humans!!! ) Suited what we were after perfectly, thanks Emma and team for the easy process and quick replies to queries!!

We had a great stay - the property was as advertised and we loved how quiet the area was while still being walking distance to the beach. We’d definitely stay again!
