This stylish seaside home, which sleeps 6 guests in three upstairs bedrooms and usefully provides space to comfortably accommodate a 7th guest if required, has a fresh Scandinavian Summerhouse vibe.

Stylishly designed in cool neutral tones, this traditional fisherman’s cottage has been imaginatively updated and furnished to provide chic and welcoming accommodation for up to six guests.

The cottage features a 60-metre long garden and is less than 0.5 miles from the town’s charming shingle beach.

The long narrow garden features a wildflower meadow and an additional terrace area where you can enjoy the peace and quiet.

Great location, and a Tardis inside. Easily could accommodate 3 couples and having 2 bathrooms is a real bonus. The garden is also beautiful, secluded and well planted, and a lovely place for a coffee in the sunshine.

Beautiful cottage in a great location but it was very dirty. Hair in the bath, dirty worktops, and carpets not hoovered. When we wiped the trays/coffee table in the living room, the cloth was black. It made us feel very uneasy, particularly in the current climate. Its a shame as the cottage could be the perfect stay, it just needs a very deep cleanRead more. Hide

Very good location. The house has everything required. The garden is lovely, and the scent of Jasmine by the decking is so fragrant. Our only issue was parking. They are narrow streets, and it can be very difficult to park. Its more suited to small cars. It is so handy to walk into the high street, and The Fountain is a two minute walk.
