Elm Barn is a lovely cottage , with open living and lots of space . Location is fantastic, with only a 10 mins walk down to the beach at Seatown .

We had a lovely stay at Elm Barn. The location is very peaceful and great for either walking or driving to other places nearby. The barn was very comfortable and well equipped and we soon felt at home. Watch out for the tame robin in the garden who will follow you inside if he gets the chance!

The. temperature ratings on the cooker were not all fully displayed so using some of the rings was a matter of guesswork and there were too few small pots. The beds were a bit low for octogenarians. The coffee pot was all metal, so the handle got too hot to hold. There were no spare toilet rolls but most of these were just slightly annoying nigglesRead more. A slight concern about the cooker as I understand the magnets in induction hobs are dangerous for people with pacemakers. Hide
