This cottage is now sold. We were the last holiday tenants to stay.

Beachview Cottage is delightful. Situated close to the beach, it was great for the dogs. The cottage has a large enclosed garden too, which is ideal. It was fully equipped, the beds were comfortable and everything was provided. Would have stayed again if the cottage had not been sold. Scratby is a really friendly place, so will be returning at some point.
