Surf Cottage

Introduction

We aim to meet the needs of all of our guests, however, the property is set over three floors so this can make access for guests with limited mobility difficult and the cottage is unsuitable for wheelchair users. Guests with limited mobility are advised to continue reading the access statements for more information on each cottage, and call the Cherished office if you need any further details.

Surf Cottage is located on a level road with moderately level access to the shops, restaurants and beaches.

The kitchen/dining room are located on the ground floor, the lounge on the 1st floor and the bathroom and bedroom on the 2nd floor.

Up to two medium sized dogs accepted.

A wide range of artwork is displayed throughout the cottage.

• A small lipped step takes you up into the cottage, with a small step down onto the entrance floor mat onto a tiled floor.
• The cottage is heated by adjustable central heating. There is underfloor heating in the kitchen and the bathroom.

Ground Floor

• The front door opens straight into the kitchen/dining area. The flooring in here is tiled and there is a large window and slatted blinds opposite the kitchen worktops allowing for some privacy. The kitchen top is 89cm high and has built in white units with white tiles.
• In the kitchen there is a sofa with two side tables allowing for storage and is ideal for sitting and having a cuppa whilst someone else is cooking! There is a dining room table and 4 seats if you have company.
• The kitchen is fully equipped and has a gas hob with a built in electric oven and cooker hood, a fully integrated slimline dishwasher, a fridge freezer with a water dispenser and a washer dryer in the cupboard next to the fridge.
• Surf cottage has plenty of crockery, cutlery and glasses for two guests. We will also provide you with tea towels, oven gloves, bin liners and clothes and dishwashing tablets to get you started.
• The first floor is accessible from the entrance hall by a wooden staircase with 13 stairs. There is a rope handrail to the right and the stairs are open to the left. The stairs have non – slip strips.

First floor

• 13 steps lead straight into the very colorful lounge where you will find a huge modular corner sofa with an additional pouf/coffee table. There is an extensive range of books on the funky book shelf for you to help yourself to (please return upon departure), and finally there is a flat screen television with a Blu-ray DVD player for those colder, wetter nights. The range of artwork is rather bohemian and not your usual ‘seaside’ interior so please take the time to appreciate colors and designs as they are few and far between these days!
• There are 13 wooden stairs up to the second floor.

Second floor

• Up from the steps from the lounge you will come straight onto the top landing which leads of to the bathroom and the bedroom. There is a full length mirror for you to enjoy on the landing.
• The bathroom has a large shower enclosure, a floating toilet, a wall hung sink surrounded by an illuminating mirror.
• The bathroom has heated towel rails, a radiator and under floor heating but you find yourself chilly you can adjust the temperature on the wall.
• The master bedroom (also a zip & link) offers a simple yet spacious space for you to reside to after a long day on the beach. With a chest of drawers and a built in cupboard you should have plenty of space to store your belongings. There are two sash windows with roller blinds in the bedroom that you can see over the roofs of the facing properties if you are tall enough!

Outside

• There is a small area outside the front of the cottage where there is a bench (there is also a small table and chairs in the cottage that can be brought outside. Please take this inside after use).
