Madrona – vue sur la mer ; peut accueillir 8 personnes dans 4 chambres

The windows are floor-to-ceiling, so light tumbles in. If the weather dampens enthusiasm for the outdoors, take advantage of those comfortable sofas and say goodbye to the world for a few hours. Or step back outside and through a glass door to a covered veranda and soak up the view and read a book. Sit, drink in hand, while the cook whips up supper in the super-stylish kitchen. It is open plan which means this is a great space for entertaining.

The ground floor hosts four smart bedrooms. Two with sleek ensuite shower rooms and all with beautifully dressed and deeply restful beds. Lush blackout curtains mean you'll feel utterly reinvigorated after a stay here. A family bathroom and a utility room mean that washing away the salt and spray from beach days is no chore here.

On sunny days you'll be in the garden, private and tucked away from the lane. It's an idyllic spot, helped along by the gathering spot with a beer station and BBQ. Fortified by locally caught seafood and beer, rest easy on a sun lounger and nap.
