The interior walls were finished with a magnesium oxide board, and painted with a paint which uses no solvents.

Founded by ’Flowering’ Fred Cleary in 1971, the garden contains many beautiful and unusual mature trees and shrubs, including walnut, fig and pomegranate trees.

Emphasis is placed on working in harmony with the natural systems, composting, recycling and learning how to use natural predators to control pests.

Lovely quiet location with plenty of accommodation and views over the sea.
Lovely quiet location with plenty of accommodation and views over the sea. Beach just a few minutes walk but be aware it is quite a climb back. Access to Pine gardens when closed is a bonus. Coastguard Inn on beach is good place to eat and there are several castles to visit nearby.

Spent a fabulous week at Pines Cottage.
Spent a fabulous week at Pines Cottage. The property is fantastic, really comfortable and well equipped. The gardens that you get access to are glorious. St Margaret's Bay is a lovely area with lots of great places to visit nearby. We had a great time here and wouldn't hesitate to return.
