This roost for two has been carefully converted and, from the first floor, has the perfect look-out point to drink in the view across the bay (home to the famous Skerries lighthouse). Within the traditional exterior is a high specification modern and comfortable interior. A sleek kitchen is perfectly placed in the living area so that you can cook and overlook the views. The usual conveniences are provided to make your stay a comfortable one such as a dishwasher, microwave, HD flat-screen TV with Freesat and a DVD player.

On the ground floor is an inviting bedroom with a twinkling chandelier over a king bed, dressed with downy pillows and cotton sheets. Settle in comfort and lap up the view. You could have breakfast in bed here at Crows Nest as you gaze across the bay.

An en-suite bathroom leads off the bedroom with slate floors, a roll-top bath and a large shower. Return from windswept walks to a drenching hot shower – or a long soak in a candlelit bath. On a practical note, a small utility provides a second WC, a washing machine and coat storage.

The terrace, with a table and chairs, allows you to perch and watch the world go by. Or stroll down to the beach for the sea air or roam the endless lanes with hedgerows that smell heavenly. Crows Nest has parking in a car park about 40 metres away.
