The Cottage

With its high stone wall and tall gate, it's hard to imagine the delights of Reading Room tucked away. You'll first stop to admire the garden, loungers and table well-positioned to take in the vista out to Men-a-Vaur rocks.

Inside, three generous bedrooms leave ample space for families or groups of friends, and the airy, wood-floored dining space beckons for evening fun.

Our Favourite Thing

The master bedroom's private sun terrace and sea-viewing spot.
