I already live in a cottage by the sea and would feel I'd lost something very special to me if I moved inland.....  |

I already live in a little cottage ...
It's about 18 miles from them the sea though, in the midst of some stunning mountain ranges and scenery so I would say I had the best of both |

It would probably have to be down south some where, problem is prices for a northerner. I like Cornwall but it would have to be when I retire as their isn't much in my line of work in that area.
Alternatively a place in the sun, I love Italy but the Greek islands also have an appeal, I love messing about in boats so that would suit me well. And I love the climate. |

"I would love to own the lighthouse on North Stack."
I'd love to live in a lighthouse but they tend to be a bit exposed, there is a lighthouse guesthouse in Wales which is worth a stay in |

A bit if a twist, but I'd own a log cabin in the Adirondack mountains in upstate New York by a lake.
When I was a kid my parents had a summer house up there on a river and the memories are some of my happiest. It's beautiful and I think a log cabin in the mountains suits me better than a cottage by the sea. |

I have a house in N Pembs, so I agree with you OP! 20 mins from the sea though., but still a lovely part of the world. I spend 6 weeks a year there and as many weekends as possible! |

Top South-West Tips for Cottage living (not cottaging!) In Devon;
The north coast is beautiful and untamed; but remote; daily necessities need to be bought in advance; shopping requires planning
If you don't drive (anywhere in Devon) you are stuffed, few buses, fewer trains
South coast is more tamed but more lively.
No jobs; so bring your work with you
In the summer; it's beautiful but full of caravans; screaming kids and tourists (known as "grockles") in the winter; it rains and socially it's dead.
Year on year new housing estates are being built and compound unemployment problems and are impacting the beauty
House prices on the coast are amongst the highest in the UK; the dream cottage can be out of reach.
Aside from the above; I like living here; but sacrifices are made, there is still "serenity" here; it's just getting harder to find |
