I fancy a few days away in the winter and must have a sea view. In Dorset, Cornwall or Devon.
Must be cosy with a great sea view, so a cabin ,small cottage or apartment.

Any suggestions of specific accommodation or where best to look?
Thank you.

Brixham in Devon has some cracking harbour and sea views

The Headland Hotel or the Woolacombe Bay Hotel. The Headland has cottages and Woolacombe has self-contained apartments, in addition to the main hotels (although I’ve only stayed in the main hotel at both). Would recommend based on that though.

Actually I’ve just re read and realised it has to be much further west and cosy cottage vibe. Place I was thinking of is West Sussex, very private and secure, and directly facing the Beach but it’s modern in style. Not a cosy vibe. Cracking views of IoW though and lots of walks, not isolated though. DM me if you want details.

Grandad’s Net Loft or The Crows Nest in Porthleven

There are some apartments as you go onto the beach at Croyde, amazing view of the sea. I think booked through holidaycottages.com
