Crowned by vaulted ceilings and adorned in tranquil tones, coastal artworks, and vintage finds, each detail is carefully considered for utmost comfort. Cosy up on the deep sofa or relax in the armchair and bask in the charming ambience.

For entertainment there is a Smart TV with a DVD player, as well as a digital radio for staycation soundtracks.

Adjoining the living area, the kitchen is a dream in soft-pink Farrow & Ball shades and slate tones. White tiles add subtle contrast, complemented by a white Belfast sink and silver inflections and illuminated by pendant lights and Velux windows. Craft delectable dinners to fuel wayfaring reveries and uncover the array of accoutrements, such as the double oven and DeLonghi Nespresso-compatible coffee machine with a choice of pods. To savour romantic repasts, take a seat at the vintage farmhouse dining table for two, or head outside to the private, wrap-around courtyard to enjoy alfresco feasts and starlit suppers under open skies. A washing machine/dryer is tucked away next to the kitchen.
Sleeping and bathing
Settle into serenity in The Store Room's master suite. A heaven-sent space with a vaulted ceiling, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and calming tones, it presents an idyllic haven in which to unwind. Beckoning for repose, a king size Feather & Black bed with Harrison Spinks mattress promises cloud-soft comfort, swathed in the highest quality linens and topped with cosy cushions and throws. A floral feature wall frames a beautiful armoire and chest of drawers, meanwhile vintage books, antique illustrations, and tasteful embellishments add thoughtful touches throughout. For enchanted awakenings, nestle under the duvet during leisurely lie-ins, opening the glass door to the courtyard on balmy days to welcome soft sea breezes.
