Winterton-on-Sea, EnglandYou can only begin to picture just how special The Beach House is if you have been there. However professional the photo shoot, it is all but impossible to do justice to how being at this amazing property feels. How can you accurately portray the feeling that you get when you are sitting outside and listening to the waves gently lapping the shore, the sea air in your lungs and a glass of something chilled by your side and there really are no adequate words for the view you have across the grassy sand dunes to the sparkling blue sea. Being at The Beach House and experiencing all of that really does give you one of those “life doesn’t get much better than this” moments, especially when you are lying in the free-standing hammock. The only thing to compete with the sound of the waves is the abundant bird song, but then what’s not to love about sharing that lovely back garden with the wild birds.

You can even view all this through the large glass bi-folding doors while snuggled up in front of the wood burning stove.
