Luxury coastal cottages

We do like to be beside the sea, don’t we? Summer invites languid days stretched out on the sand, lazy swims, and wandering into a nearby fishing village for ice cream – before returning to your coastal cottage to savour the catch of the day, prepared by a private chef and enjoyed with ocean views. When autumn and winter arrive, the coastline takes on a wilder, more elemental charm: dogs bounding across windswept dunes and empty shores, followed by storm-watching from the comfort of your hideaway, the fire crackling as waves crash beyond the windows.

Whether you’re planning a family seaside escape, an adrenaline-fuelled trip chasing surf breaks, or a romantic couple’s getaway discovering hidden coves and local wine bars, our collection of luxury coastal cottages offers something for every preference. From a hideaway above a Caribbean-like beach on the Isle of Harris to a waterfront home with a hot tub in Devon, each property puts the shoreline firmly at centre stage. Some homes even provide direct, private access to the beach – including a sprawling Cornish beach house with subtropical gardens.
