Sandpiper benefits from a large deck to the rear, accessible from all ground floor rooms, that offers outdoor lounge furniture and a charcoal BBQ. An expansive lawned garden, whilst not enclosed, offers a good level of privacy and leads to the water’s edge and the private jetty for swimming or water-sports. A screened outdoor shower and sun loungers are also provided.

A cot and highchair are available for guest use. Please advise at time of booking if you require these to be made available. Please note that a cot mattress is not supplied, nor any cot bedding.

Bikes, paddle-boards and kayaks can be hired from the Activity Hub at Silverlake (in 2.5 hour slots). Bikes, kayaks and paddle-boards can also be arranged for the duration of your stay through Curated Cottages (delivered to Sandpiper and collected after the hire period). E-bike tours, a private chef and yacht trips can also be arranged. If you fancy making use of the log burner during your stay, a fire pack including logs, kindling and firelighters can be supplied at a small extra charge.
