Dining
The Long Table.
Dinner is one sitting at a single long table, written after the boats come in, never before. Breakfast happens at the same table, in the morning light.
Explore diningThe bath house
Heat, cold water,
and no schedule.
A cedar sauna with a round window on the sea, a cold shower under the open sky, and a private hour that is yours each day. Nothing is programmed, and nothing needs booking in advance.
The bath house
The coast
The shore does the entertaining.
Wind, light and a long tidal beach, reached on foot from the door. Arrival notes and directions come in writing with every stay.

Story
How the house works.
Dark timber, limewashed walls, pale oak and wool. Windows placed for the light rather than the view alone. No lobby to cross, and no corridor of identical doors.
