After visiting Lee as a child with my Dad and having a cream tea, it was always a very special place, to live here is next to none. One of those very hidden gems as said by The Times
In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and it’s amazing position so close to the sea surrounded by National Trust land. The history attached to the cottage, probably one of the oldest properties in Lee with its gothic windows and unique arched porch.
The location of the cottage is next to none, right in the middle of its own 3 acres with un-surplaced views, to the forestry and sea, offering total sheltered peace and tranquility. 2 acres of totally flat lawned gardens, with beautiful flower beds, offering camellias, azaleas, and other various perennials, not forgetting - apple, quince, mulberry, and pear trees and of course figs, all for guests use.
It’s also a flat walk to beach and local pub, perfect!
The house was one of a kind. The bedrooms were all very comfortable and the kitchen was wonderful. The grounds are beautiful. Ginny and her husband went above and beyond for us. We will surely stay there again if we are in the area.
Excellent weekend away, perfect location and cottage laid out well for a large family to share
Great property with everything you need. Quite secluded so great for a relaxing break. Very well located for walking and sightseeing. Also close to a large number of sandy beaches.
A lovely stay in a well appointed cottage. Highly recommended.
It was clean and well equipped. Absolutely no complaints. Grampus Inn was perfect for Friday evening with musicians to add local colour.
We stayed here as a family as we were attending a wedding at tunnels beach, four couples with a young child. The setting is incredible and only five minutes to the beautiful lee Bay and also five minute to the local pub !
The house is spacious and accommodated us well , the only thing I would say is only having one shower ( just a bath in the bathroom ) meant queuing in a morning but as I like a bath it wasn't a problem .
Having an aga in the kitchen and a beautiful log burner in the lounge added to the cosy feel of the place .
The house is perfect for young children as the grounds are totally secured with a gate and they can play outside to their hearts content .
Would love to go back !!
