The space
This 16th Century listed cottage is full of character. Upstairs has a distinctly crooked feel! We have shelves full of books and lots of vinyl which you can play on the music system in the living room or simply hook up to your blue tooth and play your own tunes. There is a smart TV with Netflix and Disney. Also WiFI.

The entire property and garden are yours to enjoy.
Other things to note
Church bells on a Sunday morning!
The beach is located through the churchyard opposite and is a shingle shoreline with lots of grass fields ideal for picnicking.
