While the interiors are somewhat dated in style, there’s a cosy living room for playing board games after a coastal walk and a handy home office when work beckons. Your host occasionally stays at the cottage next door, but you’ll have complete privacy and garden access during your stay. Your host provides complimentary essentials for you here, though it’s only a short drive from the closest store – plus, there’s parking here for three cars on the driveway.
