About this property
Romantic quirky seafront flat with unique alcove cabin beds
This is not a luxury apartment — and it doesn’t pretend to be.
This top-floor seafront flat is around 140 years old and proudly wears its history. It has witnessed two world wars, countless island stories, and generations of life by the sea. Because of its age, you’ll find uneven floors, imperfect surfaces, and charming quirks that come with a building of this era. If you’re looking for pristine perfection, this may not be the place for you.
But if you love character, atmosphere, and soul — you’ll feel at home the moment you step inside.
Instead of conventional bedrooms, the flat features romantic Victorian-style bed alcoves, creating a cosy, cabin-like sleeping experience that feels intimate and a little bit magical. It’s a nod to the past, designed for rest, retreat, and slow island mornings.
Light the wood burner on cooler evenings, pour a glass of wine, and watch the light change over the water. The view is genuinely breathtaking — uninterrupted sea views that make you stop and stare. Simply cross the road and you’re on the beach, with the sound of waves never far away.
Despite its historic charm, the flat is well set up for modern life, with ultra-fast WiFi — perfect for remote working, streaming, or planning your next island adventure.
This is a place for guests who appreciate old buildings, coastal romance, and character over polish. A cosy, soulful seafront escape where the view does the talking and the history is part of the experience.
