Pebbles Lodge, Seal Bay Resort

The view was beautiful to see the sea

The lodge was beautiful right on the beach and in an amazing location just down from the restaurant and facilities. It everything we could need and the wifi was such a bonus as signal wasn’t brilliant.

Loved the property. I would say a lot of the campsite facilities were closed or closed really early so wasn’t worth buying the entertainment passes and there isn’t much to do in the local area. But the lodge is so lovely was nice to just chill there and the pebble beach was great - no sandy feet afterwards.

Lovely location lovely looking at the sea and so relaxing

A little more comfortable seating for outside

Great location. Clean and tidy. A fantastic, surprise welcome gift in the fridge, which we enjoyed very much! Everything was there that wee needed for the stay. There are lots of facilities on site, restaurants, pool, funfair etc but as we were working at Goodwood for the duration of our stay, we didn't have time to experience anything apart from sitting on the beach (which is beautiful). Another reviewer mentioned that there was no ironing board. When we arrived, a brand new ironing board is now at the property so the hosts are willing to fix any issues that visitors have.

It took me a while to find the gate code. It was in an email from Seal Bay itself, not from the host. It would be useful to have this info front and centre in the arrival information as it's the first thing you need when arriving at the site. However, this may not be possible if Seal Bay regularly change the code. I also couldn't find the lodge itself once I'd entered the site. I called the hosts and they directed me straight away, so big thanks to them for that.

The lodge location was excellent as it was so close to the pebble beach and sea, you just had to look out of the patio windows or step onto the veranda to be transported to a beautiful place. This made our stay a great pleasure indeed. We had a few short walks onto the beach, which was very refreshing. The lodge layout worked great, the ensuite bathroom is a great plus off of the main bedroom with its walk in shower, quite roomy too which we did not expect, we also had ample wardrobe space, two side drawer units and a dresser not forgetting the double bed. The second bedroom had two single beds, wardrobe, dresser and a drawer unit. The main bathroom again good size and includes bath with overhead shower. The kitchen was well equipped and a pleasure to use, Including dishwasher, double oven, microwave, fridge freezer and washer dryer etc. The living space was a great size too including a sofa bed, two armchairs, coffee table, side table and dining table area. There is a tv on the wall above the fire. Facilities around the complex cover a great variety of entertainment for your children.

On arrival we found there was very little communication with any staff in person, all communication was done through booking.com messenger. When we entered the lodge and opened the blinds to take in the expected view, we were met with dirty windows with cobwebs and family's of spiders on them. I had to clean them. The veranda glass was green in places it hadn' t been cleaned for a very long time by the looks of it. There was trim hanging off the edging too. I had to clean it. The light bulbs in the beautiful hanging lights in the kitchen had half inch of dust on. There was no hoover and after our request, was delivered later than stated. No ironing board No toilet brushes which after requested were delivered late No bathroom toiletries delivered until day before leaving. Towels provided were new. Unlaundered. So after our shower we ended up looking like blue yeti's as half the fabric from them stuck to us. (Navy blue too haha) When your fee for the lodge includes the cleaning charges and When you pay so much for a place with a beautiful beach front sea view. You at least want to be able to take in the view through the glass of the property, and also not have to start cleaning immediately so you can relax and appreciate everything. There's no excuse for the inside of the windows to not be clean I know the sea throws off salt regarding outside but still,Once I cleaned them they looked great all week?. Hope this helps for the next family who stay here
