Comment on Seafield – Westward Ho! by christine key

I heard it had been left to a chap who previously rented rooms in Westward Ho on condition that he lived there, and that he and his sister shared the house but never got on with each other. Apparently he has since died, which is appears evident as previously the lawn was always nicely mowed and is not now, and the lady lives there alone. It’s such a shame it can’t be restored.

@Rose Arno….Unfortnately the house has been vandalised over recent years. Windows have been smashed on the front of the house and recently the old lady who lives there placed a sign in the window asking “Please don’t throw stones”. About 2 years ago I overheard some teenagers bragging how they’d broken in through the front door one night thinking it was empty…and they were shocked to find someone living there.
Seafield House will always be a talking point, it’s become an iconic part of the Westward Ho! history. Respect to the lady who lives there.

Rev. John Pine was my great Grandfather. Although I do have documentation, I would like to know more about my ancestors.

Thanks for your comment, it has not been vandalised but is in need of some renovation.

Im doing a school project about the history of westward ho and one of the things im including in it is seafield house. This was really helpful and seafield house is a beautiful property which doesnt deserve to be vandilised.

Hi, Great post. We love Westward Ho! beach and return there several times a year. If you have small children you can catch crabs from the sea swimming pool which is great fun after the rock pooling described above.

Just be warned if you are planning to swim in the pool!

Try Bideford Library – they have a folder of information on the witches and also sell copies of the book on Bideford Witches which is an update of the original book
