We really enjoyed our time at Sea Dreams, and would definitely book again. We liked the area, and found it to be more central that we initially thought , close to the park, station , and many local shops and pubs. Really nice garden. Thank you to the owners , we did not want for anything.

Would love to have seen linings/black out linings in the living room as it was hard to watch tv even with the curtains drawn

The house was spacious and met the needs of our mixed generational group well. Overall it was comfortable and sufficiently well equipped. Maintenance was a bit rough around the edges but it didnât impact our stay. The beds were soft but not uncomfortable although a couple of them looked like they would need replacing soon. We also appreciated that there is a washer-drier which was not mentioned on the website. The location was convenient. It is in a quiet residential area not far from the train station and sea. We also enjoyed walking to some good nearby restaurants and micropubs.
