The Space:
Step into the laid-back charm of West Cottage by Salt & City Stays, where boho character meets homely comfort. Designed for slow mornings, sea air and time spent together, the cottage blends thoughtful design with a relaxed sense of ease. Hidden doors, vintage finds and cosy corners create a home that feels welcoming from the moment you arrive. Whether you’re gathering in the kitchen after a day at Dunraven Bay or watching the sun dip from the garden, this is a space to unwind, reconnect and exhale.
The cottage sleeps up to 10 guests across five upstairs bedrooms. Two doubles enjoy sea views, two further double bedrooms offer calm and comfortable spaces to retreat, and a twin room is ideal for children or friends sharing. As all bedrooms are located upstairs, the house is not suitable for guests with limited mobility.
At the heart of the home is a well-stocked kitchen centred around the AGA, complete with pantry staples and everything needed to cook for a crowd. A separate utility room includes a dishwasher, washing machine and ample space for drying beach gear and wetsuits after coastal walks.
The living room is made for relaxed evenings, with a TV, DVD player, PlayStation, extensive DVD library and a cupboard full of board games for all ages.
Outside, the large enclosed walled garden is a true highlight — a sun-soaked and secure space where children and pets can roam freely while adults settle into long, unhurried afternoons.
We welcome one small, well-behaved dog and kindly ask that they remain downstairs.
