Confirmed Guest
A lovely well equipped cottage. Beautiful sea views from upstairs and downstairs. We had nice long walks with our dog along the very quiet and sandy beach which was accessed via some steps from the back garden. There was plenty of space for 7 of us and the beds were very comfy. The welcome pack was a nice surprise. No problem parking at the cottage as it has a large, gated driveway. Both the front and back gardens have seating and are enclosed - safe for children and dogs. We had a lovely week staying in Sea Star and we hope to return again. Thank you.

Fantastic location with a lot more to do nearby than we expected. Clean house with lovely view over the North Sea. Walks along the coast from the door. Horsey was well worth a visit to see the seals
