Just when you think you've seen everything when it comes to interior design, you're presented with a kitchen complete with illuminated art installation centred around a large rock and you're rendered a little speechless. It shouldn't work, but we have to admire the chutzpah – you won't be short of conversation starters with guests at least. Aside from this curio, the Victorian cottage is fairly conventional. There's a minimalist approach to decoration, with a strict colour palette of white and blue, plus only the bare necessities when it comes to furnishings – although there are a few eye-catching pieces, including the modern dining set. The home benefits from a small terrace with some seating, but there are plenty of coastal attractions to explore nearby if the weather's on your side. Mumbles Beach is all of two minutes' walk away, but there are some more scenic seaside spots that are easily reachable on foot – Rothersalde Bay takes twenty minutes, for instance. Mumbles Pier is a quarter of an hour's walk away, too.
