Upon entrance, you'll be instantly wowed by the pale robin-egg blue surroundings, which were painstakingly matched to the Arcadian mural on the main wall. Equally, the art deco chrome-and-velvet sofa perfectly blends into the mural. In the well-equipped kitchen sits a beloved antique table from the 16th century, with Mad-Men style leather upholstered dining chairs. Our collection of artful collages will be sure to inspire many conversations. Downstairs, the bedroom features two Georgian wicker and pine beds alongside a hand painted mural by Jen Robson. An en-suite bathroom here contains a rain shower. Up the sunny stairwell, you'll find the entire top floor devoted to the main bedroom. A gorgeous mural of whimsical woodland hugs one wall. Turquoise beds and gold accents are found throughout here. Step across the hallway to find a truly spacious bathroom with a luxurious bathtub and view of the woods, alongside a rain shower. Outside there is a spacious garden with a lawn and patio area, surrounded by mature woodlands. There is an outdoor bathtub connected to the hot water system. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Massage ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Golf - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48970000/48962300/48962228/0b3401f3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Historic Arcadia: Heritage Coachman Lodge on 2000-acre Seaside Estate Portpatrick - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-29&endDate=2025-10-30&selected=48962228&PinnedHotelID=48962228&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92180000/92176100/92176015/2731d8ad.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 4 Season's Splendour : Artist Nest in Walled Garden on 2000 acre Seaside Estate Portpatrick - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-29&endDate=2025-10-30&selected=92176015&PinnedHotelID=92176015&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93480000/93477400/93477338/deefb17a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Coastal Magnificence: Saltwater Chronicles with private sea view deck.
