Seasides Mothers Cottage

Dear Guest,

Thanks for booking Tessie's Sea Cottage, this is a very special place to me and do hope you enjoy your stay.

About Tessie’s Sea Cottage
Tessie’s Sea Cottage is named in loving memory of my late mum, Tessie. She absolutely adored anything vintage or antique, so I’ve filled the place with pieces that remind me of her. I’m also a maritime sailor, so you’ll spot plenty of nautical touches around the cottage, old-time charm. It’s acozy, character-filled spot that feels like a little step back in time, with plenty of heart and a dash of ocean spirit.

These are some of the house rules, please familiarise yourself with them.

1. No parties.
2. Please don't eat and drink in the rooms.
3. Please respect the noise curfew, the neighbours are lovely people.
4. Please turn off any heating/cooling.

6. Please take care of the furnishing and other delicate items. Some items are priceless and over 80 years old.
