Waterfront House, hotel in Swannay

The view from the room was incredible. It felt like we were on the water. We sat for hours witching the birds on the shore. Just as we were leaving three Curlew flew right past the window - almost a leaving present.

    Loved the apartment, modern kitchen bathroom, great décor.

    Loved the apartment, modern kitchen bathroom, great décor. Richard was a very good host Just lacked a few extra touches, no teapot, no shampoo, soap or egg cups. Would have liked some milk in the fridge when we arrived and maybe a small welcome hamper considering that there was no breakfast
