With spring on the horizon, we’re dreaming of a holiday by the coast.
Waking up to the sound of the sea, wandering down to the shoreline for a refreshing dip, exploring pretty fishing villages, lazy afternoon picnics on the sand - need we go on? Classic Cottages has a wonderful collection of coastal cottages across the UK, and here are just a few of our favourites…
Morfa Nefyn | Sleeps six

Located in the picturesque village of Morfa Nefyn on the Llyn Peninsula in Wales, Peveril is a warm and welcoming spot for a holiday by the sea. The sandy beach is just a few minutes away, and you’re sure to spend unforgettable days exploring the fishing villages and glorious beaches - and soaking up the breath-taking scenery, of course.
North Devon | Sleeps six

Number 4 Coastguard Cottages is an idyllic getaway perched on the north Devon coastline. Lace up your walking boots, pack up a picnic, and head out for a stroll along the South West Coast Path - you won’t be disappointed! On your return, make the most of the stunning views with al fresco suppers in the evening sun.
Cornwall | Sleeps six

With panoramic views stretching across the waters of Mousehole in Cornwall, get your coastal fix with a stay at No 1 Polvellan, a beautiful apartment tucked away in a cliffside position. With its captivating sea views and fabulous sun-drenched terrace, this is the ideal spot for a laid-back escape.
Devon | Sleeps eight

Make your way to the charming village of Shaldon where you will find 33 The Green. With the sandy beach just moments away, start the day with refreshing morning walks by the water, and spend afternoons exploring this lovely part of Devon. The sun-soaked courtyard is a great spot for those lazy days getting lost in a good book, too.
Pembrokeshire | Sleeps 16

Ideal for a special family gathering, St Catherine’s House is perched above a glorious golden sand beach in Tenby. And with a cosy sitting-room and library, eight beautiful bedrooms, a spacious kitchen and dining room, and incredible sea views - you may want to stay forever! If you fancy getting out and about, hop on a boat trip over to Caldey Island, wander along the Pembrokeshire coastal path, and try out a new watersport.
Isle of Wight | Sleeps six

Full of coastal charm, Beachside is a fabulous getaway located in the heart of Ventnor, where blissful Island days are best spent relaxing on the sun-soaked balcony and gazing out at those crystal-clear waters. If you don’t fancy cooking, you’re just a short walk away from a fantastic selection of seaside cafés and restaurants, before strolling back to your escape to watch the sun go down.
Dorset | Sleeps two

Glorious views of the coastline await at Little Seahill, a peaceful escape in Dorset. Leave your worries behind and while away dreamy afternoons listening to the waves gently lap the shore. If you fancy heading out and about, you’ll find a number of walks on your doorstep, and the nearby market town of Bridport is ideal for exploring the independent shops and picking up some fresh local produce at the twice weekly market.
Cornwall | Sleeps 11

Create special memories with ten of your favourite people, with an unforgettable stay at Seaward; a beautiful getaway nestled in the picturesque Cornish village of Port Isaac. Here you’ll find views of the ever-changing sea, a lovely terrace for sunny days, and lots of waterside adventures to discover. If you can bring yourself to leave Seaward, that is.
