Lovely stay
We had a lovely two night stay in characterful Seagulls. We were very comfortable, the accommodation was beautifully clean and very well equipped. Very spacious for 6 of us staying there. The beds were clean and comfy and the bedrooms warm and cosy. In fact on our first night there was apparently a huge storm! But I knew nothing about it, the beds and room at Seagulls were so comfy I slept through it! We found plenty to do locally despite the weather and enjoyed coming back to seagulls to relax each evening. I have already recommended seagulls to my sister and hope to return again ourselves sometime.

Return visit
A return visit after 7 years with my children and (now all adult) grandchildren. Seagulls continues to be comfortable, quirky and welcoming. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything we needed and Selsey's well-stocked Co-op is a short drive away. We loved the delicious cake that greeted us on our arrival, thank you Shaun and Russell!
