OWNERS INSIGHT
"The cottage was in a rather sorry state when we took ownership and we really enjoyed breathing new life into the old building. The renovation project was challenging, but enabled us to inject our own style. The cottage has given us a lifestyle as much as a home, with our local dog walk around the harbour or Meadfoot Beach. Local restaurants and bars are virtually on the doorstep, with the renowned Orange Tree Restaurant at the bottom of the road.''
