Had the most amazing stay from 2-5/1 with my family for my birthday. Seagulls is absolutely amazing…..could not fault anything. So clean, quirky and basically on the beach. Can’t wait for our next visit as we definitely rebook 100%

Thank you for your lovely comments look forward to welcoming you back
The place was amazing, such a lovely place to stay in and plenty of space for us. Just a very short walk to the beach and being able to see the sea from the living room was lovely. Would love to come back.

Thank you for the positive review. So glad you had a lovely stay and love to welcome you back again soon
We had a lovely stay at Seagulls seeing in 2026. The house was full of character, well equipped, spacious clean and tidy. The secure garden was ideal for the dogs. The log fire was nice and extra blankets very thoughtful. Beds were cosy and comfy too. Being a stones throw from the beach was brilliant. We'd definitely stay again.

Glad your enjoyed your break
Look forward to welcoming you back soon
Super quirky property. Great fun to stay in. We all loved the unique character of it. Comfortable beds and well equipped. Good off street parking. Very clise to the beach.
The whole family really enjoyed staying at Seagulls. Although it was quirky it was still well appointed and cosy. The grandchildren enjoyed the garden and going to the park to play.
We had a wonderful stay at Seagulls. Very spacious clean property with a lovely secure wraparound garden which was perfect for our dogs! Location near the beach was great. Pubs within walking distance was a bonus. Great host who responded very quickly to any queries.
Seagulls was wonderfully clean, well equipped and quirky! It was perfect for our family with young children - they particularly enjoyed the garden space. A lovely big cake was waiting for us and great communication with the hosts. Thank you for a great holiday!

Please to hear that seagulls lived up to your expectations and you made some nice family memories
Converted railway carriages for our bedrooms and a comfortable lounge area upstairs with views of the sea made this a fabulous venue to stay with our family to celebrate our Golden Wedding anniversary. Beach and amenities all close and the secluded garden made for a perfect weekend.
