"Simply divine....a haven for mind, body & soul."  J.K. 2017
Picture
 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.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE: 
  • There is no television at Tern Cottage but there is a radio and unlimited super fast WiFi .
  • Mobile phone reception is somewhat patchy in the village but it can often be accessed upstairs in the cottage and outside. 
  • The traditional nature of the cottage means the headroom upstairs is limited and both beds are under low eaves.

  • The cottage is not suitable for babies or children under the age of 5 years. 
  • Maximum capacity 2 adults plus one child aged 5-12 years
