Coast
Coastal cottagesExplore beaches, coastlines and shores you've only dreamed of
The sound of crashing waves, the feeling of the breeze in your hair and the taste of salt in the air; nowhere invigorates the body, calms the mind and soothes the soul quite like the sea. Despite being a small island, we are blessed with over 11,000 miles of coastline to explore. A mirrored lake one day and a wild and dramatic tempest the next, no day by the sea is ever the same; the Great British coast has a magnetic charm that draws us all back, year after year.
