Relaxing family holidays by the sea
We can help you plan a relaxing holiday by the sea with your family. Having been on self catering holidays with our own children we have a good idea what makes a holiday with young children fun.
At Sandcastle Cottage we have been providing self catering, good value holidays for families since 1992. With a staycation you can avoid long and sometimes arduous travel, making sure that everyone arrives ready to enjoy their holiday.
Sandcastle Cottage is directly opposite the path to the beach at Roome Bay.
There is a large enclosed garden to the rear of the cottage which is exclusively for your use and somewhere young children can play safely. There is also a patio with garden furniture where adults can relax. You can enjoy sunny days in the garden from early morning until late evening.
The cottage is child friendly, safe and well equipped with everything you will need for a relaxing holiday with your family and includes:
- Washer Dryer (there is also a washing line in the garden and pegs in the kitchen)
- A large selection of pots, roasting tins, casserole dishes, electric food processor, blender
- Fridge/Freezer
- Microwave
- Dishwasher
- Gas Hob, Electric Oven & Grill
- High Chair
- Travel Cot (although we ask guests to bring their own bedding for the cot)
- Non slip bath mat
- Plastic plates, bowls, cups and cutlery
- Cool box with ice blocks (No longer available due to Covid 19 Restrictions)
- Beach Wind Break
- Curtains in the bedrooms have blackout linings
- Books
- Large selection of children’s DVDs including some Disney classics (Sorry no longer available due to Covid 19 Restrictions)
- Selection of beach toys and fishing nets.
The cottage overlooks Roome Bay beach which is ideal for rock pooling, catching small fish, crabs or paddling. There is also a children’s play park.
The Crail Harbour Gallery is only a short walk from the cottage and great for a light lunch. Throughout the day and in the evening The Golf Hotel Crail serves snacks and meals in the beer garden from 10.00am. There is a great range of local shops in the village if you simply want to prepare meals at home. For more information on self catering read our blog.
