The Rusty Hut
Select your dates to check availability and book
With a nod to a more traditional past, the Rusty Hut is tongue and groove panelled in soft earthy colours. The gable end is clad in salvaged teak boards that used to line the famous pier at Southport. During its heyday in the 1920's global entertainers, including the inimitable Charlie Chaplin, performed there and would have walked the very same deck.
The hut has an open-plan double height living space with log burner and a sofa which can easily be made into a comfortable double bed. There is a full kitchen with oven, hob and fridge, and a shower room with shower, toilet and sink.
A library ladder leads up to a mezzanine area with king size bed and skylight looking out over the bay and up to the stars.
The hut has its own private, enclosed garden space, sheltered by trees. The patio doors look south over the old pond towards Corran Sands across Small Isles Bay. The birds are abundant here and bird food is provided to keep the bird feeder topped up.
There is a wood fired hot tub and fairy lights for the evening, whether you're lazing with a book and coffee, enjoying supper or lying back and letting the aches of a Pap climb or walk around the bay seep out of your muscles. Switch off the lights and watch the sun go down and the stars come out.

"Beautifully decorated and situated. I loved poking my head out of the velux in the mornings. Stunning views of the Paps of Jura"
“So peaceful and just what we needed. Only a short walk to the beach too!”
“The hut was full of interesting books, a large map, local walks, games and jigsaws. We also just sat and watched the birds, it was truly magical!”
