About this property

Skylark Lodge - a log chalet that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

A minutes walk from the beach and a 10 mins walk along the beach to a great pub. Lapwing is one of three chalets set in about half an acre of landscaped ground. It is light, comfortable and has lots of room with lovely sea views from the living area and the main bedroom. A cosy wood burner, fantastic walks straight from the door, amazing bird life, and you can bring your pets (£25 supplement per pet per stay max of two dogs unless agreed before hand). An inspirational area for artists and photographers and lots to see and do near by. A totally unspoilt area that has yet to be discovered.

Haus in sehr ruhiger Lage

Gute Ausgangslage für einfache Wanderungen. Sehr ruhige Umgebung aber dennoch ein Restaurant mit sehr fein zubereiteten Speisen in nächster Nähe! Haus zweckmässig aber mit allem Nötigen eingerichtet - warm und gemütlich!
