By the Beach is in a lovely position being a short walk from Seaton beach. There is a beach cafe/restaurant within walking distance and also a pub and both are very good. There is also another good pub a short drive away.By the Beach itself is a lovely warm bungalow. I would say it is comfortable for 4 adults. I think you would be a little 'squashed' on the living room sofa if there were 6/8 adults in your group. It would be an amazing little place if it was given a little more general tlc i.e curtains need more hooks as hanging loose and hard to close, cushions on sofa are threadbare in places, verandah paintwork needs a clean and spruce up and windows are in desperate need of a clean.

We stayed for a weekend as a surprise for my husband’s 60th, it was lovely, perfect location walking distance to the beach. Mark rang the day before to give me some more information and left his mobile number if we needed anything.Nice little welcome pack when we arrived. We had 3 dogs with us and there was an enclosed garden which was perfect ( even though we were out most of the time).Lots of parking we managed 3 cars so perfect.Thank you Mark also for allowing my children to arrive early to set up the decorations as a surprise before we arrived.

Good location and relaxing place to visit, great for dog owners but accommodation is not totally as described e.g. bed is a double and it really needs a bit of TLC to bring it up to the standard needed. Also please be aware that the floor slops all the way across the building making it feel like your on a boat as its pitched and can make you feel disorientated.
