The patrolled life guarded beach offers perfect conditions and low tide reveals stretches of sandy beaches. An hour either side of the tide is perfect for swimming and we’ve provided a tide clock in the apartment for reference, although plesase do check the Met Office website for the latest swimming conditions. Remember to pack swim shoes as there can be the odd rock to navigate at high tide. In the cooler months we tend to wear wetsuit gloves and shoes, the essential wooly hat and dry robe before walking back to the cottage for your hot choccie.

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY
OUR STORY
Our most recently completed project launched in Spring 2024. Since transforming our seaside apartment, Burlington by-the-Sea we dreamt of a small cottage with a beautiful garden to relax in after a day at the beach. We have used our eye for design and many years of renovation experience to create what we believe to be a perfect coastal retreat which we hope will feel like a home from home for our guests just as it does for us.
