Seabank

"Our fourth visit to Seabank. We all love it – we order perfect weather and lovely locals who walk their dogs and chat on their way past. We are never disappointed."

"We had a fantastic time – could easily have stayed for at least another week! The weather was good; the setting was stunning. We didn’t realise Seabank would be so roomy; would love to bring our children and grandchildren next time. You have a wonderful place!"

"This was our first visit to Seabank but I’m sure it won’t be our last. What a fantastic and unique place. The location – right on the beach – couldn’t have been better."

"First stay at Seabank. Pray it won’t be the last. Fantastic place to stay. The pictures don’t do it justice."

"We booked this as our son, aged 6, is mad for trains – and it really exceeded our expectations. A stunning location and everything we needed."

"Beautifully kept. First time I’ve stayed on a train that goes nowhere and loved the journey."

"Lovely relaxing days spent with our grand-daughter, and so many toys and games to play with. In fact you have thought of everything, Catherine. Will never forget waking up to waves lapping on the beach."
