The accommodation is pleasant, if somewhat small, with a well equipped kitchen. Our only niggle, given that due to the inclement weather we did spend more time indoors this year, is that the lounge area is too small for 4 adults to relax in. Re-configuration of furniture, with a smaller dining area, would make a huge difference to the comfort rating.

We missed a teapot and a few pegs but minor details. Be aware that The Wishing Well pub on site takes last orders for food at 7.30. We can recommend two places to eat in Seaview. The Boathouse and The Old Fort. Both excellent menus the latter more pub vibes, both on the seafront and relatively close to home. Would highly recommend the lodges.

It was clean and had good facilities. The listing and pictures were a true representation. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub.
