Lucaster

This gorgeous, cosy, former coastguard's cottage sits in a peaceful setting in Fishbourne and is just a few yards from the sea and the welcoming local pub. Lucaster is perfectly placed for a relaxing island escape and is conveniently close to the ferry. Within moments of arriving, you can be settled in the pretty garden enjoying a glass of wine, listening to the enchanting sound of birdsong and watching the Island's famous red squirrels dart by - your four-legged friend is also welcome to join the fun.

Once inside, a spacious entrance hall warmly welcomes you, leading through to the light filled sitting/dining-room at one end, with its picturesque view out to Fishbourne Green and cosy wood-burner for extra warmth on a chilly evening. At the other end is the pretty, modern kitchen/breakfast-room, fully equipped with everything you need to rustle up a family supper. A stable-door from the kitchen leads out to a porch, (handy for those sandy buckets and spades) and you'll find a fully enclosed patio at the rear filled with flowers that attract an array of beautiful wildlife. With outdoor seating and a raised decked area with an additional bistro table, there is plenty of space to dine al fresco while soaking up the Island sunshine.

Guests should note that the ferry is within sight and sound of the cottage, although this is generally unobtrusive.

All three bedrooms are located on the first floor. Bedroom one is a charming double bedroom overlooking the garden, complete with a cosy window seat - giving you the perfect vantage point for watching the red squirrels feeding below. There is also an en suite shower-room for your convenience. Bedrooms two and three are both beautifully decorated twin bedrooms, each featuring picture-perfect shutters that enhance the cottage feel. Completing the accommodation is a family bathroom with a roll-top bath to enjoy a nice long soak after your day exploring the Island.
