Summer’s here, which means it’s time to head to the beach. And in the busy summer months nothing beats a location where you can yo-yo between the ocean and a private, sea-view garden where you can bask on a lounger, light the barbecue, bubble in the hot tub or even splash in the pool. Check out our selection of luxury seaside cottages with large coastal gardens made for sizzling summer days with friends and family.
Appletree Barn, Brancaster, Norfolk
Sleeps 8 + 2 dogs
A palatial property in stately grounds, at Appletree Barn your south-facing Riviera-style garden is complete with a swimming pool, tennis court and a look-out tower boasting incredible sea views. When you’re not whiling away the sunny days with a private garden party in your lush surroundings, step out onto the stunning North Norfolk coast path, explore the wildlife-rich marshland and hit the sea at beautiful Brancaster. This is probably oneof our most luxurious properties on the Norfolk coast.
Old Higher Lighthouse Branscombe Lodge, Southwell, Dorset
Sleeps 4
Make yourself at home in an upside-down Grade II listed cottage beside the Old Higher Lighthouse, where you can soak up breathtaking views of Dorset’s World Heritage Jurassic Coast from inside and out. From the lighthouse tower and light-filled sitting room you can marvel at the coastal panorama and spot wildlife on land and sea in any weather. But on a balmy summer’s day you’ll want to make the most of your surroundings from the garden, where you can relax beside the pond and dip in the heated pool and Jacuzzi. Just what the doctor ordered after days out exploring the Dorset coast.

Shore Cottage, Pentraeth, Anglesey
Sleeps 6 + 2 dogs
Are you seeking a sublime coastal location where you can sleep to the sound of the ocean, slink into a sea-view hot tub and lounge in lovely coastal gardens between excursions to the beach? Just 100m from a stunning sandy shoreline for sandy-toed strolls and wild swimming, Shore Cottage is perfectly decked out for stylish indoor/ outdoor coastal living with your friends and family. It’s a beautiful spot for a coastal holiday on Anglesey.
Shark Fin, Sennen Cove, Cornwall
Sleeps 6
A beach-lover’s paradise, Sennen Cove is home to sugary-white sands, rolling surf and granite cliffs yawning towards the UK’s most south-westerly tip. When you’ve had enough of the toes-in-the-sand lifestyle and eye-popping coastal path walks, come home to landscaped gardens and soak up the dramatic landscape on your doorstep. From your designer home with high-tech features that harness the natural environment, you can wake up to the sunrise over Cape Cornwall, and watch the sunset over Land’s End from your 270-degree living room. It’s a perfect spot for a seaside holiday in Cornwall.
Quarter Acre House, Leswalt, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland
Sleeps 6 + 2 dogs
How about a spacious house with a large garden, just over the border in Scotland? Spill out into stunning coastal gardens overlooking rolling countryside and Lochryan Bay, from your private pad on the north west coast of the Rhins of Galloway peninsula. Walk down to the shore to spot seals and porpoises, take a circular stroll around Wig Bay and The Scar (a sandbank which is home to one of the largest colonies of nesting migrant terns in the region) and slip into the hot tub to watch the sunset or stargaze.
Harbour Heights Cottage, Lyme Regis, Dorset
Sleeps 4
Lyme Regis on the Jurassic Coast is a divine destination to discover in the summer months, but it’s also popular, so the beaches and seafront can get quite crowded. However, it’s easy to dip in and out of Dorset beach life and fossil hunting from this contemporary home with sea-view gardens. Take in the coastal hues and panorama from your open-plan living area, or slide open the doors to breathe in the salty air, watch the sunset with a glass of your favourite tipple, or slope down the lawn towards the cliffs and shoreline.
Latimer House, Felixstowe, Suffolk
Sleeps 16 + 3 dogs
Flaunting a prestige location and bucketfuls of style, this magnificent Edwardian clifftop home in Suffolk has panoramic sea views and large, landscaped gardens with direct access to the seafront. Spacious and deluxe on the inside, it’s got all the trimmings of a snooker room, cinema room and private swimming complex. Step outside and you can slink into a lounger or light the BBQ on the raised patio, while the younger members of the gang let off steam on the lush ocean-view lawns and in the outdoor play zone.
Apple Pip, Reighton, North Yorkshire
Sleeps 8
Spend time together in an extraordinary holiday cottage with a sea-facing garden that tumbles to the beach. Apple Pip has been designed to make the most of the stunning panorama, whether you set your sights on it from behind the glass walls, from the double spa bath in the master suite or over coffee or a sundowner on the decking. With the beach so close you’ll no doubt be lured into the ocean, whether it’s for bodyboarding, kayaking, swimming or fishing. It’s also a great base for exploring the Yorkshire coast and North York Moors
Glan Towyn, Rhoscolyn, Anglesey
Sleeps 12 + 2 dogs
Slip into beach life while on holiday in Anglesey from a boutique beach house where you can soak up sensational sea views from inside and out. Just footsteps away from the shoreline, it’s a cinch to roll out the door with the kayaks and paddleboards (provided) for some ocean adventure, or simply pad barefoot in the sand and brave a bracing sea dip. Or you might not be inclined to leave your designer pad, where the gardens have been designed as an extension of the house itself, with a large lawned area to roam, a patio area for alfresco dining, and a hot tub and sauna for the ultimate beach-side spa moments.

Sundance, Tresowes Green, Cornwall
Sleeps 14 + 2 dogs
Being a smidge inland can be a blessing during the summer months when Cornwall’s beaches are at their busiest (although quieter beaches can be found). This makes it the perfect time to head to this sensational holiday home with beautiful grounds and a private pool just over a mile from the south coast close to Praa Sands and St Michael’s Mount. Slip out for waves, coastal walks and beach life at your leisure; although you may find it hard to wrench yourselves away from your gym, sauna, games room and cinema room that spill out onto manicured lawns with a swimming pool. Possibly one of Cornwall’s finest holiday lets.
