Island House BOS Burnham Overy Staithe

Sleeps 10, from £950 to £2500 per week

Island House is an outstanding barn conversion with fantastic views across the marshes and out to sea.  It is owned and designed by an award-winning architect and is a truly exceptional home which has been carefully decorated to a very high standard.  It has been imaginatively designed with many internal 'curves' in the style of a boat, and has large gardens running down to the shore, with access to the coastal path and within a short walk of the staithe.

Burnham Overy Staithe

Location

A pretty coastal village with a busy harbour which used to be predominantly a fishing village, but is now a very popular place for sailors, walkers and bird-watchers, with the area being designated as “an area of outstanding natural beauty”.

During the summer there is a ferry out to the nature reserve of Scolt Head Island, a bird and seal sanctuary. For the more energetic it takes about 30 minutes to walk along the coastal footpath across the marshes out to the vast expanse of sandy beach which is quite often deserted. The large black Burnham Overy windmill dominates the skyline for miles around and on the outskirts of village there is a fine collection of 18th century mill-buildings next to the river Burn.

The village has a good local pub called The Hero which makes great home-cooked food using locally sourced ingredients.
