Cosy Living Room with Woodburner
Step inside and discover a warm, welcoming living area where original character meets modern comfort. A romantic woodburner creates the perfect atmosphere for evenings snuggled by the fire—whether you’re reading, watching TV, or planning the next day’s adventures.
Woodburner
Supplies such as fire lights, kindling and logs are provided for guests for their first night stay. Any future supplies are to be provided by the guest during their stay.
During the months of June through to the end of September the guest will be required to provide their own supplies including the first night stay.
Bespoke Galley Kitchen
The custom-made galley kitchen is fully equipped for home cooking, offering everything you need to prepare meals with ease. A separate utility room, located just across the rear passage, provides extra convenience for longer stays.
Bathroom & Bedroom (First Floor)
From the living area, climb the cottage staircase to reach the serene bedroom and bathroom:
Bathroom: A classic layout with bathtub and overhead shower, washbasin and WC.
Bedroom: A peaceful double bedroom furnished with pine pieces, a walk-in wardrobe, and charming original features.
Private Balcony: A stable door opens onto a beautiful south-facing balcony—the perfect morning coffee spot with captivating views across the countryside and down to the village.
(Please note: as a period property, the upstairs doors are slightly lower than standard.)
Outside Space
Just across the pathway is your private enclosed garden, a tranquil setting with lawn, flowering shrubs, and views of the village church and fields beyond. With multiple seating areas—ideal for al fresco dining, reading, or simply enjoying the sun—you’ll have plenty of opportunities to unwind outdoors.
Pear Tree Cottage offers the peace of the countryside with the added benefit of being close to beaches, coastal paths and charming villages.

A lovely stay in a small but perfectly formed cottage. Particular praise for the excellent log burner and well stocked kitchen. It would have been useful to have a bit more information about where precisely to park, especially as we arrived at night, but it didn’t take too long to work it out.

The cottage was beautiful, very small but had everything you needed and the view from the balcony was fab. All communication was sent via a portal rather than in a message on air bnb. I would recommend you read this and screenshot it as signal near the property is non existent and we had to go back to the main road to get signal to find out the key box code to get into the property.
