“A wonderful birthday treat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

My wife booked us in for a surprise birthday treat for me, knowing how much I love Brandscombe, and knowing how much we have admired and thought about staying at the Great Seaside Farmhouse. We were lucky enough to have got a late cancellation during what has obviosuly been a busy season for them. Despite the weather, we enjoyed a really lovely break. Amanda, as everyone seems to agree, was all you could expect from a host - friendly, charming, helpful, efficient - and she provided a great breakfast. No shortcuts or sliced bread here!

“Just perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011 via mobile

Our stay at Great Seaside was perfect. We were made so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The only downside was that we had to go home! We travelled with our two year old and Amanda was just brilliant offering suitable cutlery as well as preparing breakfast in a child friendly way. Our daughter was delighted to find that when we returned from a lovely visit to the Donkey Sancturay, her dolly had been tucked up in her travel cot ready for her when she went to bed...I would highly recommend Great Seaside and we will definatley be back.

“Relaxing and comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011

A very comfortable quiet and relaxing B&B close to the beach. In a good location for exploring and walking. No huge sea views. Clean and tidy house. Excellent breakfasts and a very nice helpful host.

Room Tip: Best bathroom upstairs room. Largest bedroom on ground floor.

“Beautiful Setting - Excellent Value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2011

We stayed for 4 nights, 2 adults and 3 children aged 10 yrs and over. The children stayed in the 3 bed family room and we also occupied the upstairs double room. There is a large bathroom with bath, separate shower and twin wash basins, situated between the 2 upstairs bedrooms. It might not be suitable for 3 young children to share the bedroom, as the double room is separate, but it worked for my families age group. The rooms were spotlessly clean, with good quality beds and linen. Amanda gave us a lovely welcome, and was happy to spend time with us giving information on the area and amenities, but was also discrete enough for us to relax and enjoy our stay. The breakfast was cooked to order from quality ingredients, with a selection of cereals, juice and yoghurt. No sliced bread here! Hand sliced granary and white bread availble to toast with Bonne Mamman preserves. The beach is a few minutes walk away, and there is a cafe serving good food during the day.The nearest pub is about 20 mins walk and served good food, including a childrens menu, all reasonably priced. The Old Bakery Tearooms, should not be missed. There are easy and difficult walks, and also surrounding towns to visit. This place would suit families and couples alike. We can't wait to go back for another visit.

“Exceptional Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

A beautiful bed & breakfast located in a bucolic valley along the Jurassic Coast. The rooms are very comfortable, particularly for a 16th and 17th century building. Our host was great, and there are plenty of great walks above the cliffs, into town of Branscombe and along the beach. There are 2 great pubs and The Bakery (tea house) within 15 min walk. In 30+ years of staying at B&B's, I think this one ranks at the top.
