Downderry Beach lies less than a mile from Hawks Ridge, a detached house positioned on a hillside above the coast. The setting draws the eye across the water from most rooms, and the balcony becomes the natural gathering place as daylight fades. The enclosed, tiered garden provides outdoor space at multiple levels, with patio and decked areas among the tiers.
The layout is unconventional: the main bedroom and a bathroom sit on the ground floor alongside the open-plan living and dining space, while two further bedrooms occupy the lower ground. The ground floor bedroom is a kingsize; below are a double with ensuite shower and a twin room. The second bathroom serves the upper bedrooms. The kitchen is fitted for self-catering, with an electric oven, hob, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. Bed linen, towels, electricity and wifi are included. One car can park on site, with additional roadside parking available. Dogs are welcome here.
This suits families wanting beach access without constant driving; Downderry has a dog-friendly stretch of sand. There are seven steps to the entrance, and further steps between the decked area and the garden below. No smoking inside.

What guests say
The property itself was utterly superb. The view is breathtaking and we had an incredibly comfortable stay for a family holiday away for a week. The cooking utensils and kitchen in general are very well equipped, and the living area is easily big enough for a family of six. Our only gripes on the property are: The bed size in the downstairs master. It was a standard double when the upstairs had a queen. The curtains in the master were also very tired, and ripped which just took away from the luxury feel. The twin bedroom has a great sea view, but the seals in the window have gone, so it is no longer a good view! The walk to the beach was easy, and the local beach is really lovely. The Inn on the shore was a nice place to grab a drink also. The local shop had closed down, with no apparent plans to open again, so make sure you arrive with supplies. There is no real local shop so it's a good job we had already booked a click and collect at the Morrisons about 20 minutes away. On a side note, and not a complaint about the property, but the road is incredibly busy with works traffic for building renovations and new builds. It's incredibly annoying when leaving for the day or returning "home" and you have to wait for 20 minutes while the site managers decide to let you through or not. Twice we got stuck, and when we were travelling with an elderly relative it did make things difficult.
