Seashells

This first-floor apartment sits within a coastal house directly on the seafront at Seaton, a short distance from the town's mile-long beach. It suits couples looking for a compact base with sea views rather than families or larger groups, as the property sleeps two.

The living and dining room has large windows facing Lyme Bay and out to sea, with a dining table for two positioned to make the most of the outlook. The kitchen is equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and a washer/dryer, and there's a TV and DVD player in the lounge for evenings in. The single bedroom has a king-size bed and its own window with a sea view down the side of the building.

The bathroom combines a bath with a shower over and a WC. There's no private outdoor space attached to the apartment, so anyone wanting a garden or terrace should look elsewhere, though the seafront position and beach nearby give easy access to time outside. A travel cot and highchair can be requested for younger visitors, though dogs are not permitted at this property.

Parking is provided for one car, and Seaton's pubs and shops are around half a mile away on foot. Arrival is from 4pm and departure is required by 9am, so plan travel times accordingly if you're making a long journey to or from the coast.
