The Mermaid's Purse – 2 bedroom cottage 100 yards from the hotel
Sleeps 2 – 4 persons

 

Only 100 yards from White Cliffs Hotel & just under a mile from the beach at St. Margaret’s Bay, The Mermaid's Purse is a traditional 18th Century Kentish flint cottage hidden in a quiet corner of  St. Margaret’s-at-Cliffe, a village set in the heart of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, in White Cliffs Country. An area renowned for its spectacular scenery and pebbled coves, good for swimming, and breath-taking walking or cycling along the coastal and cliff-top paths.
The Mermaid's Purses' tucked away location belies the fact that it is just a few steps to the pubs, restaurants and shops on the narrow winding high street.
Furnished in a traditional country cottage style, it has recently been fully refurbished to provide comfortable accommodation for up to 4 people. The cottage comprises of two bedrooms; one twin bedded and one double, bathroom/wc, a lounge/dining room, kitchen with a 'big' gas-fired Range, laundry room & conservatory/breakfast room.


Outside, the cottage enjoys secluded gardens and 'sun-trap' terraces (ideal for barbecues) with well established shrubs and an old-fashioned herb garden for 'chef'!
