With its thatched roof, white-washed exterior and tranquil waterside location, this quaint home is the epitome of a chocolate box cottage. Step inside and it’s a modern affair – think sophisticated pops of teal, natural textures and a contemporary wood-burning stove to keep you toasty on chilly days. Better still, there’s a private sauna for serious pamper sessions after long days spent exploring the German Riviera.

Enjoy a morning of wild swimming in the Bodden lagoon – you’ll find a bathing area just 170 metres from your doorstep – or jump in the car and take the eighteen-minute drive to Zingst for a dip in the Baltic Sea and a leisurely stroll along the sandy beach. In nearby Bodstedt, owners of Zeesen boats offer local trips, while a passenger ferry travels from the Darß peninsula, through the Neuendorfer Bülten to Ahrenshoop-Althagen – an ideal excursion in the warmer months.
