Ursula's Garden

Come for a proper English seaside holiday with sandy beaches, walks on the Coast Path, fish and chips while watching boats on the harbour, ice cream on the way home. The house lends itself perfectly to a big group with an open-plan living space downstairs, a large table for sociable meals and French doors which open onto the garden. Sprawl on a little lawn, sunbathe, have al fresco suppers, hang your towels and wetsuits to air, cleanse gritty toes and paws in an outside shower.

Everyone can join in with the cooking, or sit at the table chopping and chatting – you’ll find a cupboard of basics, tea, biscuits and some pods for the Nespresso machine. Bedrooms (one downstairs) are up a solid wooden staircase – the master with a sea view from the balcony, a twin with a futon, then a sweet single.

It’s a two-minute walk to Constantine Bay Stores for stocking up and five minutes to the beach for an early morning quiet swim.
