Nothing says "and, breathe" like a stay by the sea, and places don't come any closer than Wentworth Retreat. This is a place where higgledy-piggledy floor plans reign supreme, where the ebb and flow of the morning tide can be seen and heard from the comfort of your luxury bed, where dinner parties are enjoyed with one eye on the horizon and early risers step out of bed and onto the harbour wall, to soak it all in: the morning sun, the birdsong and the the sight of boats, dinghies and yachts bobbing on the water.

Not Just magnificent views from this cottage windows but constant watching the tide, the boats, birds, and passers by. Lovely to be able to wander into town or along the coastal path.

Not just magnificent views from this cottage windows but, constant entertainment, watching the tides, the boats, the birds and the passers-by. Lovely to be able to wander down to the town or along the coast path. We enjoyed a fantastic lunch at The Chandler, had a wonderful crab roll from 'Hook Some Seafood' and of course, great fish and chips (not all on the same day!). A brilliant holiday suiting all three generations - thank you!
