About the host
Hosted by Beverley Brook
We used to visit Runswick Bay on a regular basis living only 30 mins away. We used to dream about the possibility of buying a small property in Runswick and eventually we took the leap. Basically we have never looked back. We still ourselves.
Why they chose this property
We are down in the Bay with fantastic sea and beach views. Runswick village faces south. We get lots of sun and light during the day on our veranda and get shelter from weather coming in from the west. Then the stars and moon are often amazing by night. We like to stay in even in bad weather. We light the stove (open a bottle of wine) and watch the roaring sea. Runswick is a very special little place
What makes this property unique
The cottage has lots of charm and the view is one of the best in the Bay. You can lie in bed and look out at the sea in the morning. Then once you have dragged yourself out of bed you can be walking along the beach within minutes.
