Company info

We both love walking therefore having direct access from Littlestairs Road onto the cliff path and beach is perfect for walking our dogs Izzy and Toffee! Sharon is also an artist, so when time allows is often found surrounded by pencils and paintbrushes!

Property info

Our home is a detached cliff top property with some views of the sea and decorated with a subtle seaside theme in the bedrooms. Our newly implemented guest lounge includes a children's corner with plenty of things to keep them occupied whilst the adults can sit back on the sofa and enjoy a hot drink from our tea/coffee bar! We have plenty of items we can loan out from beach tent, kite, nets (essential for crabbing!) picnic baskets empty or full ( ordering is required and not free if picnic food is to be included! ) and a stack of beach towels!

Neighborhood info

Our neighbourhood is quiet and peaceful with no through traffic, we really enjoy having a licensed cafe at the bottom of the road where we can have a quick lunch out perfect for when we are busy and don't feel like cooking!
