Greenside

Bordered by fields and just steps from the coast, Greenside is a spacious Old Grimsby cottage with a wonderfully easy balance of rural calm and beachside living.

At A Glance

Set next door to Lucy-Tania Boutique, the cottage places you close to the gentle rhythm of the east side of the island. Green Porth lies just across the road for morning swims, sandy wanders and low-tide adventures, while The Ruin Beach Café is only a few minutes away for long lunches by the shore or an impromptu evening drink after a day outdoors.

Inside, Greenside is relaxed, welcoming and quietly understated. Wooden floorboards, soft duck-egg beams and a log burner give the ground floor a warm, laidback feel, while the lounge leads through to a sociable kitchen and dining space made for easy breakfasts, shared suppers and gathering after days on the beach.

The cottage sleeps eight, with three roomy bedrooms in the main house and a separate annexe bedroom set within the courtyard. The annexe, with its own ensuite bathroom, offers a little extra privacy for grandparents, older children or friends staying as part of the group, while flexible zip-linked beds can be arranged as superking or twin by prior request.

Outside, the courtyard garden gives you a sheltered place for barbecues, morning coffee or a quiet moment in the sun. Behind the cottage, the back garden gate opens onto a grassy stretch, with fields, hedgerows and island paths beyond - a lovely reminder that, even here at Old Grimsby, the countryside is never far away.

Spacious, relaxed and beautifully placed, Greenside is a cottage for families or friends who want Green Porth at their feet, rural views at the back door and the best of Old Grimsby close at hand.

Our Favourite Thing

Behind the house, the back garden gate leads onto a grassy stretch before a charming spread of fields and hedgerows.
