Guests say
Seagrass is a well-received cottage in Bideford, Devon, praised for its comfort, enclosed garden, and hot tub. Guests appreciate the games room and the welcoming pack, finding it a homely base for exploring nearby beaches and towns. Some minor feedback on lounge seating and TV size suggests room for improvement, but overall, guests are keen to return.
The property is generally well-regarded for cleanliness. However, one mention of cobwebs suggests a slight deduction is appropriate.
The location is deemed perfect by guests for accessing local beaches and amenities, though the steep narrow road access may require driving to destinations.
The property is considered comfortable, especially with the hot tub and games room. Suggestions for additional lounge seating indicate that comfort could be enhanced.
Facilities like the hot tub and games room are highlights, but comments on a small TV and the need for pillow renewal indicate some areas need attention.

We had everything we needed. Would have preferred the lounge area on the 1st floor like Otter which is the property next door as sometimes the kitchen felt a bit small yet lots of wasted space upstairs. Overall though really happy with our stay we take our dogs away at least 3/4 times a year and use Skye cottages a lot.

The welcoming pack for the family and dog were excellent. The hot tub made a great addition. When we had been on a long walk or bike ride it was nice to relax in when we got back to the cottage. The facilities were good and the cottage had everything you need. The upstairs area came in real handy when the weather wasn't great so you can play table football or board games while you wait for the weather to improve. With shops only 5 minutes away it is in a great location as well. When we arrived however there were quite a few cobwebs that we had to brush/hoover away in the living room and the pillows in the double room could do with renewing as they had lost there softness and were quite flat. Even with these couple of slight issues we would definitely go back and stay again.

..you have got the flow of it just right. Every night we came back from a full day holidaying it felt like coming home. So comfy and warm, well kitted out and well presented. Both my wife and I said if we could, we'd like to lift it to anywhere in the country we stay in future. Thank you for a great holiday, (despite the grey weather at times)... we're jealous of the incoming occupiers!
