Fisherman’s Cottage

Built around 1850, Fisherman's Cottage stands on the Luce Bay shoreline in one of Stairhaven's earliest settlements. The two-bedroom, one-bathroom property sleeps four and gives you the whole place to yourselves, with direct beach access from a raised garden and a private slipway available for boats or kayaks if you arrange this at booking.

The ground floor holds an open-plan living space with kitchen, dining and sitting areas—the latter has a TV, Freesat and DVD player. Upstairs are two bedrooms: one with a king bed, one with two singles. The bathroom has both a bath and shower cubicle. Essentials like bed linen, towels, wi-fi and heating are included; the kitchen is equipped for full self-catering. You get private parking for two cars and a bike store.

The cottage suits anyone wanting a quiet waterside base. Note that access to the property is shared with an adjacent dwelling, and smoking is not permitted.
