Beach Retreats

We personally inspect and carefully choose our beach houses, so you can drift in on the wind and settle straight into the laid-back seaside life. Explore these hotels, B&Bs and self-catering places with seascape views on coastlines across the UK and Europe. All you need to do is book, pack a couple of sets of comfy, scrunchy clothes and get ready to spend days with salt in your hair and the sound of the surf echoing round your room.
