About this property

Charming thatched seaside cottage right next to the beach

This lovely thatched cottage, which has been in our family for almost 90 years, was bought by my grandfather in the 1920s, and we have been welcoming holidaymakers here for the last 40 years or so.
There are three bedrooms and a very large living/dining room. The bedrooms are all front-facing and the king with en-suite has views over both the garden and beach. The largest is a family room with double and two full-sized single beds. The third is a twin room and one of the beds has a full-height trundle bed under which makes either three 3’ single beds or a 6’ double + another single.
The garden is large and level, perfect for ball games and it also provides off-road car parking.

Just across the road is the slipway to the lovely bathing beach - and at low tide you can walk over to Outer Hope village.

The main village of Outer Hope, with Post Office/general store, cafe/restaurant and pub, is a short walk away up a footpath if the tide is high. There are also hotels on the doorstep for snacks and restaurant meals.

February fun

We had the most incredible week at this property. The location is incredible, right by the sea. The house is spacious warm and functional. The kitchen could do with some more utensils, and the place could be warmed up with some board games, books, etc. The local walks and pubs are great. The kids had an absolute ball! We will definitely be back. When we arrived there was a power cut for about 24 hours. The host and her son went out of their way to make sure we had light and power. They were so lovely!

Thank you so much for the lovely review. Just a note for other visitors - we normally have lots of paperbacks and a variety of games but we were advised to remove them last year because of the risk of transmitting Covid. I’m hoping we can reintroduce them in due course. Thank you again Cathy
