Sovereign

This ground-floor apartment in Seaton, Devon, suits two people looking for a straightforward coastal base. It sits around 350 metres from the beach, with a shop roughly 100 metres away and a pub about 150 metres from the door, making it easy to manage without a car once you've arrived.

Access is via a shared hall fitted with an intercom system, then through the garden into the apartment itself. Inside, the open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner has an oak floor and a bay window, with a TV fitted with a fire-stick for evenings in. The kitchen is equipped with an electric hob and oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer, so self-catering is well covered for a short stay.

The single bedroom is a king-size room with its own en-suite shower room and WC, both on the ground floor. Outside, guests have use of an enclosed courtyard garden furnished with outdoor seating, a private space rather than one shared with other units.

One dog is welcome at this property, though additional charges may apply. Parking is provided in the form of one free permit for the town's car parks rather than a dedicated space on site. Wifi is available for guests who need to stay connected, and towels are included in the stay. Arrival is from 16:00 and departure before 10:00.
