Step into the open-plan living space, where the chef of the group can acquaint themselves with the well-equipped kitchen, featuring a handy dishwasher and washing machine for your convenience. Tuck-in to your meal at the dining table for four over a celebratory bottle of fizz or dine alfresco with a countryside backdrop out on the front decking. As the evening grows darker, retreat to the sofa where you can snuggle up and select a much-loved film from the wall-mounted TV. When sleep calls, choose from two well-appointed bedrooms to catch your rest in, a king-size and a twin, both with their own en-suite shower room and plenty of storage for your belongings.

Janet
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.
