Beach Hut - Why We Love It - WE LOVE IT because of the great location on the prom– with the sound, sight and breath of the sky, waves and sea breeze. All you need to do is throw open the doors, unpack your deck chairs and table from the large storage box, roll out the green carpet and add the handmade windbreak to either side of the hut for extra privacy or shelter from the breeze…
If you enjoy sporting activities, you can store and change into all your swimming costumes, wet suits, foot covers (for the pebbles) and anything else to enhance your experience.
You can use the hut for any occasion, alone time, family and friends, parties, celebrations, surprise gatherings, or simply sitting with a glass of wine watching the extraordinary sunrise or sunsets

From The Beach Hutter - We Love It Too - “We can’t explain how much our beach hut has meant to us over the many years of memory-making. We are sad to say ‘Goodbye’ but we know that the new owners will absolutely love it and they will get as much if not more enjoyment as we have. It’s so much fun choosing your beach hut door colours… We designed the beach hut doors with a liquorice all-sorts themed palette, we’ve let them fade so you can plan your unique favourite beach hut doors, with the colours you love… the beach hut has had layers of internal and external wood treatment and too much paint in places so it will need a sandpapering and retouching. This is reflected in the lowered price."
