The rakish pirate

Who knows what distant shores and exotic bazaars have fed into the eclectic feel of these coastal places? You’ll enjoy exploring the treasures inside as much as the cliffs and beaches outside. These quirky places to stay with eclectic design, all inspected and selected by us, are perfect for a holiday by the coast. We think you’ll really hit it off together. If you have a specific requirement in mind, don’t forget to use the “Sort & refine” button to find your true love. Or if you’re still looking for The One take the Sawday’s Matchmaker quiz again here.
