We moved into our house twenty years ago and it came with a little cottage in the grounds of our property. After our boys left the nest and went to university in England, I had time to renovate and design the interior of it.
We are situated on the most stunning seaside walk that has a lighthouse a few minutes from our home and the cottage.
The original part of the cottage was built around 400 years ago, so we are told. It has lots of original charm, in particular the head height....some doorways are a little small, so mind your head!
It's now been a holiday let for a year and the reviews we are getting are really very good.
Here's one from a lovely guest from Belgium who stayed in August 2022...
"As a child I was told that there's this place called Heaven, where you get rice pudding with as much brown sugar as you'd like on top and golden spoons to eat it with.
How little did I know that this sweet Heaven, the garden of Eden included, does already exist, here and now, on our planet Earth, and that you don't have to die first to be allowed in.
This little paradise is The Pink Cottage. It's pink and cosy and warm and comfortable. It's a place to relax and to start from on your walking tours along the rocky paths and the coastline.
It's where you go back to in the late afternoon, just to sit down at the small wooden table, writing postcards or reading a book in the company of a glass of red wine.
If you sit at the window and close your eyes, you can still see the Titanic passing by towards its disastrous end.
It has the French Press, the teapot, the romantic plates and cups bordered with a line of gold, the vases with flowers on the windowsill, the blankets for the cold, the different types of tea, the muesli, the oatmeal and the homemade jam, the pink bathtub and the fragrant lotions.
It has. It has. It has.
And it has Heather and David, the most lovely hosts I ever met. The Pink Cottage has it all! Thank you so much! " - Elly Colin from Belgium
