Welcome to Our Quirky Family Paradise! Step into our charming, old cottage - a delightful escape tailor-made for families with children. Brimming with character and warmth, this quirky home is packed with everything you need for a relaxing, fun-filled stay. Inside, two cozy children’s bedrooms are bursting with toys, books, and games to keep little ones entertained for hours. The spacious living room is perfect for family board game nights or curling up under a blanket by the logburner during the colder months. Step outside into a huge, adventure-filled garden featuring a pirate tree house, sandpit, swings, two trampolines, and heaps of outdoor toys. For quieter moments, enjoy a BBQ by the peaceful little river that runs through the garden - pure magic. We’ve thought of everything so you don’t have to: moses basket, travel cot, toddler bed, high chair, potty, and children’s toilet seat are all provided. Your family’s next unforgettable getaway starts here! Please be aware that our cottage is more than 300 years old. We do our best to keep it up to good standard but sometimes it shows its age. Don't expect a modern, new built place but it's cosy and has magical vibes. We absolutely adore our home and would like to share it with you, please be kind to it :) Seaton Tramway is opposite the cottage.
