Tuckaway Cottage has a Narnia feel to it as you step through a simple door from King Street into an inner covered entrance followed by a long entrance hall which leads to the kitchen at the back. A cosy sitting room is off to the right as well as the shower room – ideally placed for salty sailing gear! Upstairs sit the double bedroom and two quaint cabin style single rooms, as well as a toilet. Original maritime memorabilia, nautical books, artwork and navigation equipment make this a fascinating seaside holiday cottage.
There’s unrestricted parking close to the cottage and plenty of space to securely store buggies, beach gear, bikes etc. in the covered entrance at the front of the cottage.

The shower room sits on the ground floor and stairs rise to the first-floor landing.
