The lounge area was beautiful. The bed is a little soft all very clean. Canât comment on the kitchen equipment because we didnât cook. The only disappointment was that we didnât get well back when we got there which wouldâve made a lot of difference, for nice welcome cup of tea. For the price of the accommodation Iâm surprised this isnât included. Personally wouldnât come back to Seaton as the town is getting quite rundown and shabby however it is a good base to explore this area of Devon.

Very comfortable living room - sofas were luxurious. Warm, heaters easy to use although we didnât need them to much as the sun shines on the apartment all day! Beautiful to watch the sunrise and sunset from the little balcony. Fully equipped kitchen although unfortunately some of the oven dishes & pans in the cupboards were dirty (they sadly werenât checked) Very central location. We really enjoyed our stay and would like to go back. Thank you

We had a lovely relaxing stay and enjoyed ourselves a lot. One small issue was that a number of cups and other crockery in the cupboards were very dirty. Possibly returned to the cupboard by a previous tenant without washing, possibly used as an ash-tray (some sort of black sooty stuff in some) Not enough to spoil our stay , but we would recommend adding this to the house-cleaning checklist.
