🥰 Our Story....
This exciting journey began in 2022, when we decided to look for a little sister for Seagreen.
It took a while, searching listings, a few viewings and we even got close to buying another, until Seabreeze finally became a possibility.
We had been friends with Barry and Bernadette for years and they were the perfect partners for this project. They have furry ones of their own, so understand what it takes to be super dog friendly and they brought fresh excitement and lots of ideas.
We had kept a close eye on Seabreeze for years as it went from a loved home to a deteriorated broken cottage. And then in June 2023, it was finally going to auction.
Barry jumped into action and called the auction house so many times, they knew him by name 🤣 finally, our offer was accepted and Seabreeze became ours on 22nd June 2023.
There were no keys, no back windows and no floor in parts of the broken cottage. It still had a little pink toilet, original light shades and a front door that was nailed shut, but we saw the potential.
Week by week, the cottage progressed, with Martyn and his amazing team of builders putting the cottage back together. They built walls, added ceilings, filled in floors. They even took down some walls and removed a couple of doors.
Dave and Simon added the modern shower rooms, and Mark installed doors, floors and our amazing kitchen. Mark even added our bench in the kitchen as a space for coats, shoes and a place to relax with a morning coffee.
It was soon time to paint and fill the cottage ready for guests as Martyn and his team moved onto the garden. Bernadette was our chief purchaser, finding so many unique and beautiful pieces for the cottage to make it feel like home.
Barry was then in charge of the power drill, from curtain poles, to TVs, to all the fabulous wall art that Bernadette had found. Soon, the cottage felt like a home and we could take a long look at what we had created.
Finally, on the 18th of March 2024, our first guests arrived along with their furry baby. They tested Seabreeze thoroughly for us and the feedback was incredible. We added lots more to Seabreeze at their request and were so pleased with their seal of approval.
We send Lorraine, Phil and Tilly a huge thank you for being our first guests and for trusting us with their holiday.
Seabreeze has been very busy with so many guests since then and we send a huge thank you to everyone who has booked a stay.
