"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

(There is a single futon bed which can be made up on request for a child 5-12 yrs).
OUTSIDE - Small, flower-filled, south-facing terrace with garden furniture...ideal for breakfast on a sunny morning! Many of our visitors notice deer just outside the kitchen window in the early morning and comment on being able to hear the sea and the seals in the evenings from the garden. If you're lucky you'll also see bats in the lane at dusk. It's a very special spot indeed! |
