Shore Cottage

A bold, barrel-shaped building, The Shore Cottage offers spectacular, constantly changing views of sea, sky and mountain. A sense of space, light and tranquility flood the apartment from morning to nightfall.

Here, outside is inside, with the open-plan kitchen and dining area leading out onto a generous patio. Fully equipped for all your culinary requirements, Shore Cottage has a  modern cooker, microwave, dishwasher and fridge freezer, as well as an outdoor barbeque. Every aspect of Shore Cottage has been carefully planned and crafted, from the gorgeous drop curtains in the bedroom to bespoke towel rails and door handles throughout.

Like Hill Cottage, Shore Cottage features a fabulous 7ft feather-topped bed in leather and finished steel designed by artist blacksmith Sam Barlow. Honest natural fabrics and materials have been incorporated into the design and build of Shore Cottage. From ceramics by Lotte Glob to the meticulous stonework surrounding and protecting the property, everything is tactile and true to the touch.
