There are a few small steps leading to the Seafarer studio which are not great for those with mobility issues and small children. Seafarer and the main house were built in the early 1800s so the house is very old and has its' own unique quirks. Added to which the gorgeous but very rural location is not for the faint hearted - the roads leading in/out of Branscombe are steep. Seafarer Studio is insulated and cosy but there is no plumbed in heating. The electric heater warms the space up nicely on chilly evenings and there are hot water bottles and extra cosy blankets if required. Given our rural location, we can on occasion experience a blip in WiFi. It rarely happens but if it does then you can usually get WiFi around the corner at the pub or sea shanty as backup! Hot water is on a good sized timed electric water tank which has an easy access booster button in the kitchenette when more hot water is required. The walk to the beach is less than 10 minutes, or you can drive to the car park in about a minute. You are charged on exit. Rental rate includes bedlinen, tea towels, bathmat, hand and bath towels. Beach towels are not included. Sadly we are unable to welcome dogs and small children due to the size and set up of the studio. Your hosts have a cocker spaniel - Barney and a very lazy cat -Socks. The chances are Socks will make an appearance to say hello. We love this little corner of the world and look forward to sharing it with our guests and making your stay a peaceful one!
