“Great by name - Great by nature.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Hadn't stayed in a B and B for many years preferring cottages and/or hotels. The Great Seaside B and B shows just how far B and Bs have come in recent years. We had a large room on the ground floor with a large en suite shower room. The decor was a delighful mix of old and new and the bed was comfortable with more pillows and cushions than you could shake a stick at. A bonus is that is only 200 yards from the beach.
It's run by Amanda who is about as far from the stereotypical seaside landlady as it is possible to get. She makes you feel really welcome and cooks a mean Full English. Try the poached eggs - they are a work of art. She is also a mine of information about things to see and places to eat and drink.

“Can't wait to go back!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011

We've travelled annually to Branscombe area for the past 22 years, but this is the first time we stayed at Great Seaside B & B, and we can't wait to go back.
I went with my Mother and Niece for 2 nights, which wasn't enough!, the house is amazing, in a fantastic location and our host Amanda was lovely.
Might book a long weekend with my husband in October as a surprise, just so I can sample it again.

“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.
