Our Story

I was filled with an overwhelming sense of peace the first time I stayed here. I relaxed my shoulders and let go of a breath I didn’t even know I was holding.

But who am I? I’m Tara, a short, messy-haired romantic who discovered Simpson Cottage when I holidayed here with my family. I'll never forget it. I fell madly in love - we all did.

I imagined returning over and over again to this place that feels like it’s miles away from anywhere, this grounding, nurturing place. I also started thinking about how much I'd love to share this pocket of paradise with others.

More than ten years on, and here we are.

I still skip through the gate every time I arrive. Honouring this historically significant cottage by caring for it and sharing its spaces and stories with others is, I think, the best job in the world.

I can’t wait to welcome you to Simpson Cottage, so you can experience that relaxing, magical exhale and make special memories of your own.
