The Cottage
Light arrives early here - the first dawn breaking over the water, the sea often still and glassy before the island stirs - and lingers gently through the day.
Inside, the cottage is calm and generous, designed to draw the outside in. Wide windows frame the shifting seascape from the open-plan living space and master bedroom, while oak floors, underfloor heating and a log burner bring an easy, understated comfort. Doors open readily, sea air drifting through, and the rhythm of the tide is never far away.
Lobster sleeps eight, making it a natural choice for families or friends sharing time together. Three comfortable bedrooms - a master superking and two twin rooms that can be arranged as superkings - can be supplemented with a double sofa bed on request.
To the front, a lawned garden perfect for the whole family catches the light through the day, while beyond, a more private terrace sits closer to the water - perfectly placed for early coffee, long lunches and quiet evenings, always with that wide, uninterrupted view.
The Sea Garden Spa and Ruin Beach Café are just moments away, an easy wander for a swim, a sauna or something good to eat by the shore.
Beyond, the island unfolds gently - coastal paths and empty beaches from the doorstep - but at Lobster, it’s the closeness to the sea, and the unhurried feel of being here, that stays with you.
Our Favourite Thing
From the terrace, the view draws you in - an easy spot for a sundowner or something on the grill, as the light softens and drifts across the islands.
