Being right on the shore and with no land between the cottage and Denmark, The Kipper House gets all that the North Sea can bring. It can be lovely, calm and sunny, with waders and wagtails, gulls and seals on the doorstep. It can equally be wild and stormy, particularly in the winter or at the equinox, with waves crashing and harmless, simple shore insects retreating for shelter – even into the house. The hoover is your ally on these very rare occasions.
