"Simply divine....a haven for mind, body & soul." J.K. 2017
Built in the early 19th century by a local fisher family, Tern Cottage was originally a basic thatched dwelling with just two downstairs rooms, a loft for storage and a fish-drying shed and smoke house attached.
Lovingly renovated in 2015 by owner Felicity (who lives in The Studio next door) Tern is a now a very special holiday cottage, perfect as a couple's hideaway, a writer's retreat or a wildlife enthusiast's haven. Elegantly decorated with top quality furnishings, original artwork and fresh flowers this is a holiday cottage with a difference!
All enquiries and bookings are managed by Felicity's daughter
Katherine who lives locally.
