Sandcrest Cottage
Key Highlights
- Superb food at the award winning Blue Ribbon Bay Restaurant
- Pop the cork and celebrate your arrival with a complimentary bottle of champagne
- Get the best of both worlds. This house is tucked away and feels totally private, but with a short walk to the nearest town you will not run out of things to do.
Cottage Interior
Sandcrest Cottage can comfortably sleep up to six people. All rooms are bright and airy with crisp, Egyptian cotton linen, towels and handmade soap.
The main bedroom has a super-king size (5ft) bed, high apex ceiling with a large skylight window, en-suite shower room and walk-in dressing room. The bedroom has French windows that open onto the deck.
The second bedroom is a very private room at the other end of the house with a super-king sized bed and an en-suite bathroom including a large walk in en suite shower room. All the windows from this bedroom open onto the deck where there is a roll top bath.
Third bedroom or the 'Garden room' is a separate building. It has a superking sized bed and ensuite bathroom with patio style doors opening onto the sand. This room also has a mini fridge and kettle, but unfortunately no Wi-Fi.
All rooms have central heating and are equipped with hairdryers, extra blankets, and hot water bottles. We provide house towels only so recommend you bring your own beach towels.
The living and kitchen area is bright and light with skylights and three French windows, all open directly onto a secluded and private deck. The living space is dominated by a very large L-shaped coach which features a glass fronted wood burner, and flat screen smart TV.
The mezzanine area can also be used to sleep small adults, or children by prior arrangement only and at an additional cost. Please see T&Cs for more details.
The kitchen is modern with all appliances, gas hob, electric oven. A separate utility room holds additional fridge and freezer space, washer, dryer and a small office space. All the doors open onto the deck, sun loungers, a bench, an eating area with tables and chairs, sun umbrella and large bar-b-q area. The house is south facing and tucked neatly out of the wind. The higher garden area is large enough to enjoy beach volley ball or football in the sand. It also features a step accessed "lookout" with great views of the sea and sunsets. Guests have access through a private gate leading on to the beach.
