It’s a house for coming together with friends. Light the firepit and sip cocktails from the drinks cabinet up on the rooftop garden; stack your presents under the dressed tree at Christmas and roast giant marshmallows on the fire.There’s room for 11 in beds and at the dining table – children will love the triple room on the top floor. Kitchen cupboards are stocked with essentials to get you started, and you can spill out to the garden for meals on sunny days. You’ll find poker for grown-ups, heaps of DVDs for snug evenings in, beach games, buckets and spades, binoculars and books.Check out dinghy sailing in the harbour or hop on the ferry to East Portlemouth Beach. There are walks all around: up to the restaurant atop Gara Rock, or down the road to Cranch’s to fill pockets with sweets. Après sea at the Winking Prawn, with sandy feet, popcorn shrimp and gin and tonic in a paper cup.
