Hello, I’m Leonie! Welcome to Seaview Cottage. Here’s a couple of facts about me:

About the property

All about the inside:

Bedroom 2
South facing double bedroom with plenty of hanging and storage in a separate closet. Views across the fields towards Bacton Abbey. TV and Freesat box.

Ensuite Bedroom 3
Kingsize bed with lovely comfy mattress. 40″ TV with Freesat box. The bathroom has a shower, WC and a whirlpool bath.  Lie in this, enjoy the bubbles and the sea view too. There are double doors opening out onto the glassed balcony (flush to the wall) looking over the garden so you can enjoy the fresh air and sound of the sea!

Bedroom 4
Sea views from this smaller double bedroom with drawers and a TV and Freesat box.

All about the outside:

The garden is fully enclosed with a nearly 6ft high thick hedge, backed with a solid fence – really secure!

You can hear the sea and the gulls from the garden with just a field between you and the sea.  There is a garden room with sofas for enjoying the sun or an evening barbecue (provided) and a dog poo loo to save using plastic bags AND a warm dog shower too.

Your pack can really let loose in this garden on their holidays – Seaview Cottage has such a secure boundary!

There is parking out the front of the property for three cars.

The cottage is approx. 100m to the beach, there is a public bench at the top of the steps for those that would like to watch without travelling down the steps.  Hand rails either side of purpose built concrete beach access steps.

Will this property suit my dogs?

This superbly secure property suits most dogs and they are truly welcome!  The garden is a reasonable size for running around and playing. No-one passing can be seen from the garden at the back.  The walk to the beach is very short and the beach itself is generally quiet.

Please note:

  • No smoking in the house please.
  • Electric bike or scooter/wheelchair charging is NOT available at this property.
  • We would prefer that your dogs are not left alone in the property unless you know they will settle, please use a HIVE type camera that can monitor their sound and movement if you do need to leave them alone. If they are crate trained and you would like to use a crate we have three large crates (two metal and one fabric). We know how bulky they are to pack!
  • The house is semi-detached – please do respect the neighbours’ peace and quiet and not allow dogs to bark too much in the garden or children to make excessive noise in the house. IF you would like to leave your dogs unattended in the house, and you are not confident they will be settled, please contact us for dog sitting recommendations.
  • The lane access to the cottage is a single track, residential lane – please travel along it slowly for the safety of all.
  • If you would like your dogs to sleep on the beds, just let us know and bring your own bed linen.
  • All major supermarkets deliver to Seaview Cottage.
  • The hot tub is no longer in use at this property. However, the large spa bath with a sea view is!

Accessibility

Parking: Parking right outside the cottage on a gravel surface.  A wide paved path leads to the front door.

The rear French doors are accessed through a patio area and via the side gate located in a short gravelled side alley.

Steps:  A step over the front door threshold leads into a small entrance area and then the lounge.  For a larger entrance the rear of the property has French doors which open into the open plan kitchen/diner and lead to the downstairs bedroom.  This requires a small step into the cottage.

Door widths:  The cottage is old and the door widths reflect this in the older part of the cottage.  The extension, which houses the open plan kitchen and dining room and downstairs bedroom has higher and wider doors. There is an upright wingback chair located in the kitchen for guests who struggle with low furniture.

Flooring type: Hard flooring downstairs, with exception of the downstairs bedroom carpet. Additional rugs could be provided.

Bathroom facilities:  Both showers (one upstairs, one downstairs) are walk in showers, a shower stool can be provided on request.  Grab rails can be provided on request.  The downstairs toilet room has been designed with mobility in mind; there is a Burlington higher level toilet and walk in shower cubical.

Stairs: Wide stairs, hand rail on one side. Carpeted.

Downstairs bedroom:  This is accessible through the kitchen/dining area.  In this room there is a king size craftmatic electric bed to assist mobility; getting in or out of bed.  Or for head support whilst watching TV.  There is also a bed loop at the property, which fits any bed.  Ideal for young or old to prevent falls out of bed.

This bedroom has a fully opening window which could be accessed in the event of a fire by an able-bodied person but do bear in mind that mobility impaired people should not be accommodated in rooms where the means of escape is reliant on escape windows.  The stairs may impede fire escape for people with specific disabilities, vulnerable people or children. 

The cottage is approx. 100m to the beach, on an unmade track. There is a public bench at the top of the steps for those that would like to watch without travelling down the steps.  Hand rails either side of purpose built concrete beach access steps.

The property does not cater specifically for mobility, audibly or visually impaired guests but please do contact us if you would like to know more – hello@eastrustoncottages.co.uk.
