For my parents Ruby wedding anniversary we went away for a week and rented a guesthouse. It was a new build, two houses built on one plot with a beautiful view across the estuary. 


The house had a small kitchen open to the family space but the winning feature was a long narrow window which stretched across the ever-changing view of the estuary as the water rose and fell. The master bedrooms had balconies off them and you could lie in bed and feel the breeze come in through the doors. They were not huge rooms but open to the ceiling and the light and space flooding in from the doors and windows created an impressive impact. Because of the small site they had installed a turning circle in front of the garage and a balcony over the garage this worked the site space to the best capacity and meant that the angle and size of the site wasn't a negative to less confident drivers.
