The living areas are on the second floor so that you can spend every waking hour enjoying uninterrupted and panoramic sea views. the balcony offers the perfect place to watch the boats go by.

Cooks will approve of the kitchen – it is neat as a pin and has all you need. It's a hop from the dining room, so serving meals is a doddle. Gaze out from your large and light living room to that view! Lots of sofa space and calming colours, a large TV and a great wood stove for cosiness and for hunkering down and watching the storm clouds blow in. For the nimble, an external spiral stair provides great access to the courtyard patio at the rear. A grand spot for a sundowner or a meal outside. The table tennis table is for the active, and there's heaps of space for outdoorsy things: bikes, body boards, buckets, spades and crabbing nets.

When the balcony views get too much and it's time for sleep, the ground floor bedrooms await. These are all crisp in muted greens with blue nautical splashes or warm rusts. Two airy twin rooms share a smart bathroom. There are also two king bedrooms, both with sparkling ensuite bathrooms. Take a pampering shower before bed, enjoy a deep sleep, and wake to stroll down to the beach.

On the first floor the bunk bedroom is best suited to little ones, but the beds are fit for adults that fancy an adventure. The bathroom on this floor has a shower to help you feel restored and refreshed after the salty day.

Light the log burner, pour the wine and plan the next day's adventures.
