We enjoyed our visit to the Seaside Cottages immensely. The Thai food was the best we experienced, and great value.

Stayed here for two weeks in a wooden hut and could not have been happier. Beautiful beach all to yourself. Shared bathrooms were always spotless. Delicious and well priced food at the restaurant, and lovely friendly staff always smiling and laughing. The perfect place to get away from it all. Very peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. Has everything you need for a low key and relaxing holiday! Thanks Malcolm & co :)

Really beautiful. Clear water, gorgeous surroundings, but a bit closer than expected to Piraya resort. The owner, Mal, was friendly and helpful and the staff and food were also great. There isn't anything else to do around here but relax and that's what we loved about it. I would come back in a second. It was close to being the best part of our trip to Thailand.

I was unfortunately sick from something I ate for my whole stay, but the staff was always very friendly and asking how I was doing whenever they saw me. They have a good combination of Thai and Western food there, which was much appreciated with my stomach feeling so terrible. The huts are small and pretty darn hot during the day, but at night they are comfortable (but I would very much suggest booking one with a fan!) I also got stung by a jellyfish while there, so be careful swimming!

We booked this accomadation to get away from the boozy usual places in Phuket to experience the ' the real Phuket ' like it stated .However u are litterally stuck in the middle of no where with no facilities at all apart from a restaurant that closes at 8pm which I found out only because we turned up at 8:15 and beig refused food. Even though the owner knew we had nowhere else to go as the nearest village wud be a good 40min walk in the pitch black! There is nothing u can experience bout Phuket

Before booking at Seaside Cottages, please read the information at our website. Our kitchen closes at 8pm and you will not be able to order food after that. There are other restaurants nearby and some open until midnight if you cannot eat enough during the day. Our staff work at least 12 hours/day 7 days/week and we do not expect them to work longer hours just to feed 2 people.

Unfortunately we have guests arriving here who are miserable from the time that they arrive. These particular guests were obviously at the wrong location and hadn't bothered to read the description of Seaside Cottages. We normally have a party for New Year here. Instead because some of our guests were so boring we decided to save our money and close early. I had a most enjoyable night with several beers after this lot had left for the evening. Unfortunately they had returned by the morning and having to put up with them at breakfast was not a great way to start the New Year. Everyone here was pleased when they left and a party was held on their behalf. Our deepest condolences go out to any resorts who are unfortunate enough to accept any future booking from them.

Not my first stay here, in fact this was my 6th visit in 3 years, I like the fact that you get close to nature here on an island which has been over developed. It is also a convenient distance from the airport without suffering from any noise pollution. The food made in the restaurant is great, the staff are very friendly and helpful and will make you feel welcome. The only slight annoyance is that the hotel next door seems to attract Russians who sport Speedos and large beer guts!

Good advice! We make this point very clear at both our website and Hostelworld. In addition, every customer is reminded via email at the time of booking just in case it had been overlooked. We have no sympathy for people who cannot find our place if they cannot be bothered to read simple directions. Also if you are arriving via taxi, please print directions in Thai language only which is easily obtainable at our website.

It is what it says on their website, beach to die for, great food and cold beer. Its quiet, away from it all and a place just to escape and recharge your batteries!
