Welcome to Planners House. We hope you thoroughly enjoy your stay in this fascinating house, the former drawing office – design centre – for Miller’s shipyard, situated with the former huge boat shed ( now demolished) directly opposite the house, where boats were launched and sold all over the world. These type of double front doors are known as ‘storm doors’ and are actually very effective at keeping the waves out in the winter when the storms blow! WIFI is via the box in the kitchen and works throughout the house. To activate, simply scan your phone on the TAPiTAG box on the kitchen table, which will also transfer this guest information onto your phone, so if you are out and about you can access the information much more easily. Parking – you can park directly outside the house if there are free spaces or anywhere in the vicinity, but we also have two private parking spaces in the yard behind the house. Simply drive around the back of the house, down the short road (with the blue and white cottage on your left) until you enter the yard and see the signs for Planners House private parking. The living room has an electric wood burner for the colder months, to be activated using the remote control on top of the fireplace. There is a washing machine The temperature in the house is set to the appropriate time of year – if you have any issues please contact Ross. The hot water is on demand and should be sufficient for your needs. Bed linen is provided, and bathroom towels – let us know if you need more. We provide ‘beach’ towels in the cupboard in the four- poster room for taking to the tidal pool.

Planners house is right on the harbour with views from all the bedrooms over the sea. It is directly on the coastal path making it ideal for dog walking or hiking. There are many cafes and restaurants within walking distance, also an excellent food store two minutes away.
