Its location is second to none, sitting in an impressive and slightly elevated position just off Seaton's long seafront, giving guests unrivalled views of Lyme Bay and the wonderful stretch of coastline. It is one of only two remaining guests houses on the front and has been an established business for more than 40 years.

The guest house business has been operating at a level to suit its current owners, opening for nine months a year and receiving a high number of repeat bookings and excellent reviews. There is scope to expand turnover by extending the opening times and increasing the number of rooms available.
