We had the best time away celebrating my mum’s birthday. The house was perfect, and you cannot get bored of the view which is stunning. We loved the garden and the sandpit was a lovely surprise for the children. The walk to the beach was absolutely fine for us, but the steps are quite steep for older knees. The beach itself was gorgeous and we saw plenty of seals swimming. We would happily stay again!

We loved Sea Star. Fantastic overlooking the sea/sand dunes and we felt very comfortable. The dogs loved it as well, the beach is quiet and great for walking the dogs (just a bit of a challenge getting on and off it) This is probably why it is so quiet, It suited us. Beach cafe was a great place to grab a drink and snack (very dog friendly)The pub was also very good and dog friendly.There is everything you need at Sea Star for a relaxing break.We are already planning a return visit.How could it be improved?Some shade, although we didn’t need any. Hot tub ?We would happily pay a bit extra for these improvements.
