The house is well equipped for children of all ages and there is both a full cot and two travel cots to use during your stay.

For older children, there are games and puzzles as well as a separate ground floor family room equipped with large flat screen TV, video and Wii. The room is tucked away at the rear of the house and has its own access into the outside courtyard

Kitchen & Dining
For many, one of the main hearts of a house is the kitchen. This is certainly so at Seaside House, with the spacious modern kitchen providing the hub between the outside courtyard and the equally spacious dining room accessed direct from the kitchen. The kitchen is well equipped and includes:
8 burner gas range cooker with 2 electric ovens & separate grill
Coffee maker and espresso machine
Food processor, toaster and kettle
Microwave oven
Large American style fridge freezer and separate drinks chiiler compartment
There is also a plentiful supply of pots pans utensils bowls etc to ensure that you really can cook almost anything during your stay.
Outside there is an outdoor table and chairs to ensure that you can make the most of warm and balmy days on the coast.
Adjoining the kitchen and accessed via interconnecting double doors is the dining room. This room has a large modern ash table which seats 12 people comfortably. There is also sufficient crockery cutlery serving dishes and glasses to accommodate even the largest groups
Kids & Equipment
With 3 children of our own, we know how stressful holidays can become if the children’s requirements are not met. We also know how difficult it can be to travel with everything needed, particularly for toddlers and babies.
That’s why we have tried to include a variety of things to make your stay easy. As well as the well equipped family room, you will also find (if you need them):
Full dropside cot and bedding (by request)
2 X Travel cots
2 X High chairs
Child booster seat
Toddler chair
