Situated on the top (second) floor of an elegant Victorian home behind the beach-side Spa Pavilion, Gulls’ Nest is accessed through the front garden to the original front door into the lobby. Up the stairs to the front door of Gulls’ Nest, the apartment is located at the top of this second set of stairs, where you will find a light-filled property with palewood floors throughout. Being in the attic there are some low beams to look out for! This property is not suitable for children under the age of eight due to the steep stairs.

The large, attractive kitchen is well-fitted for a group of 4, with a dining table overlooking the town at the back of the property, and an internal window giving sea views from across the flat. You'll find everything you need for catering at home including an electric oven, four-ring hob, microwave,
