The first floor consists of three double bedrooms with wash-basins, a bathroom with instantaneous shower over the bath and a separate toilet. The two front bedrooms, one double and the other twin bedded, have superb views over the Ley and the sea ideal for the lazy twitcher ('birdwatcher!'). The rear double-bedroom has a pleasant view up over the fields towards Widewell valley. On the ground floor there is a dining room and comfortably furnished lounge with colour television. A large well-equipped kitchen with electric cooker, microwave, fridge-freezer, automatic washing machine and dining table overlooks and has access to the enclosed back garden with clothes line. There is a patio with garden furniture and a barbecue for outdoor entertaining.
The cottage has its own water supply automatically pumped from its' well to the storage tank in the roof space. Heating when required is by new Economy 7 night storage heaters. There is exceptionally good 4G coverage. Myrtle Cottage is situated in the grounds of 'Daybreak', the home of the owner so, should there possibly be a problem, help is close at hand. The expression most commonly used by our regular tenants is that "We are not only coming on holiday but coming home."

About the host
Hosted by Sandra
Myrtle Cottage belonged to my grandparents. They and their children were evacuated during the war and returned to rebuild it. After they passed away my mother turned it into a much loved holiday home and it is now my turn to manage it.
What makes this property unique
Pure well water, off road parking for up to 3 cars, contained back garden suitable for dogs, children and bbq's. Fantastic views of the ley and the sea beyond.
