Square Rig, Runswick Bay

Square Rig is a delightful cottage, at the entrance to Runswick Bay lower village.

It was demolished in 1995, and rebuilt on the same footprint, over three floors, with the main entrance via a short flight of stone steps to the rear of the cottage.

The open plan living and kitchen area is on the middle floor with fully equipped kitchen, dining table and chairs, lounge with sofas, TV and Juliette balcony with double doors to enjoy the sea views. The top floor has a large bedroom with king size bed and vaulted ceiling and a twin bedroom both with sea views. There is a house bathroom here with bath and shower. 

There is a further shower room and twin bedroom on the ground floor, which has access to the enclosed garden - a rarity in Runswick Bay. This ground floor bedroom is not in use when occupancy is for up to 4 people. Only the top 2 bedrooms are made available.

Different rates apply for the cottage use. For 2 people staying, bedrooms not paid for are locked. Please ensure you advise us so the correct pricing can be applied. The full rate applies at peak times regardless of occupancy. 2 people and an infant will have access to one bedroom unless the full house is reserved.
