Hiding in the centre of the village, this 1920s cottage is a two minute walk to the beach. Summerlaize brims with yesteryear character and painstakingly retains many of its original features. It has a devoted base of guests who return year after year for its nostalgic charm and location.

Summerlaize's dual aspect sitting room has parquet wooden flooring and latticed windows. The full length French windows to the front give onto a lovely covered verandah, and bay windows at the rear have cushioned seats looking into the garden.

The lawned garden is west facing and simply laid with border beds of traditional shrubs. It is fully enclosed and a haven for children to play and adults to relax through warmer days and evenings.

Sleeps 6.
No smoking.
No pets.
150m from shops.
550m from beach.

Summerlaize is clean and tidy and is situated in the village, close to the shops, but a little further to the beach.

Thank you for leaving a review on Summerlaize. The house is indeed in a perfect location for all the amenities the village has to offer, as well as a few minutes walk to the beach. We look forward to seeing you again next year. Baileys

We love this house and have visited serval times. It reminds us of visits to granparents in the past.

Would be nice to have a slightly better shower that wasnt freezing or boiling hot.

The property was ideally placed for beach and town.
Although dated we had everything we needed and the property was generally clean and tidy.
Be aware there is only really parking for 1 car.
The one main gripe would be the shower ! it just didnt work,coming back from the beach with 4 people wanting a shower and having to wait for a bath was no good.
The property would also benefit from better garden furniture(table & chairs).
Having said all that we thoroughly enjoyed the stay.

A unique bungalow.

This is the most delightful bungalow near the sea you could wish for. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a quiet, comfortable, and unique setting that is only a short walk from the sea, or stay where you are and sit in the beautiful garden. All in all, a wonderful treat of holiday accommodation.

We loved the location and the “quirkiness” of the house. Great private garden.

There were very limited number of windows that opened in the house which made it very difficult to air the house. When we arrived the house smelt musty which was very difficult to get rid of.

There is a hand held shower - the owners are wasting a lot of money on hot water while people attempt to get the temperature right for the shower and a lot of water wasted. The shower would not stay on the wall. An electric shower would probably pay for itself quickly.

The carpet in the double bedroom needs to be cleaned - I do not mind an old carpet but did not like a dirty one.

The settee would benefit from a deep clean.

Summerlaize is a wonderful bungalow that is a step back in time but that just adds to the overall charm of the place.

A bungalow full of character with original features but could do with better matresses on the bed

We really liked Summerlaize, it is full of character and we liked the fact that there were many of the original features and also that it didnt have wifi!! The kitchen was really spacious and nice to cook in and the verandha was our favourite spot.
Whilst we enjoyed the original features, we cannot say that of the matresses on the beds which are very very uncomfortable and need replacing (or add a topper mattress).
The back garden is potentially a really nice space but a bit more upkeep would make it much nicer (instead of dead plants and shrubs), we planted some geraniums etc. in the planters in the front and it made such a difference!. Also the garden furniture is terrible and needs replacing as well.

Private and spacious bungalow, full of character and charm, excellent location and value for money. Would like to stay again if we return to The Witterings.

House was OK but a bit dated. The kitchen and bathroom were not very clean. The shower in bathroom needs replacing as it was very difficult to adjust to a decent temperature. Very difficult to park car on drive.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Summerlaize is a much older style property and I am sorry to hear that you felt it was not clean. We do encourage guests to report directly to the office or by phone on the emergency number should there be anything we could do to improve your stay. We are sorry that you found the parking on the driveway difficult and we will pass this feedback on to the owners
