The new high-spec interior - with vaulted roof space - comprises an open plan living area with a wood burner and clever little kitchen corner, luxurious mezzanine sleeping gallery, funky bunk room, and stylish shower room. Little luxuries include Smart TV with Netflix, WiFi, Alexa box, and Nespresso coffee maker. The cottage, whilst bijoux and very cosy, has been redesigned to create a brighter and more spacious feel. Everything you need to make a little home away from home has been cleverly incorporated in the funky layout. The bright and open living area incorporates seating area with a luxurious sofa and chair, a dining corner by the window, and stylish, compact kitchen area. it is the perfect place to relax after a day on the beach or walking the coastal path. The kitchen corner has been created to minimise wasted space and is ideal for preparing and serving simple meals. It has a portable hob and oven which can be stowed away when not in use. There is also a Nespresso coffee maker with capsules for your enjoyment. The vaulted open roof-space creates a spacious feel. Boasting front and rear remote control and weather sensitive Velux windows with black out blinds, you can control the environment as the weather and light changes. A fine Charnwood wood burning stove offers you the comfort of a real fire on a cooler evening, whilst the bespoke lighting in the roof-space creates a true feeling of comfort and relaxation.
The mezzanine sleeping gallery is the perfect place to rest, with the noise of the sea floating in the bedside window as you sleep. NOTE THE STAIR LADDER IS 7 FEET HIGH SO NOT SUITABLE FOR LESS MOBILE GUESTS. The small bunk room accessed via beautifully renovated Crital doors, offers accommodation for two children in funky bunk beds. The small but we'll designed washing and shower room, with beautiful wood panelling and antique features, finishes the cottage off in luxurious style.

The Cupboard is a lovely cottage. Clean, compact, cozy, well decorated and quirky. It's 4 velux roof windows make it bright and the vaulted ceiling gives it a spacious feel for a small footprint property.
Lovely weekend with our grandson in this gorgeous wee cottage! Decided to use ground floor for sleeping as husband pretty tall and I didnt fancy the ladder in the middle of the night! But we managed pretty well. Grandson absolutely loved the recessed bed - so well done. Cooking facilities fairly basic but we knew on booking so no surprise as we planned to eat out. The location is wonderful and literally a stones throw from the amazingly clean beach. Tennis courts a short walk away along with a great pub for food and a cracking breakfast at The Pavilion. Best of all we picked a sunny weekend!
