A few years ago, the Classic Cottages team started writing about where we live and why we love it. It began with a series of mini-guides designed to help guests in our holiday cottages get the most of their holiday. Over time these have evolved into the Classic Guide, our do-it-yourself travel guide to things to do and places to visit across the length and breadth of the United Kingdom.

A very pleasant walk to the beach, with food,drinks and ice cream available at the Sea Shanty cafe. Seems to be a dog owner’s paradise and your dog will love it here.
