Perks for the Parents
This bijou apartment just off the quay in Charlestown is ideally set up for a seaside vacation with a baby or toddler, and has plenty of treats for parents. The bedroom has a kingsize bed; there is also a sofa, digital TV with DVD, iPod dock and WiFi. A unique Georgian building on the quay is available to guests for a private candlelit dinner. The thoughtful owners, Antonia and David, can help with everything from babysitters to home-cooked meals and an in-home spa experience. Luxurious touches include White Company linens and blankets. It can also be booked in combination with other Quay Road properties to offer flexibility and accommodation for a nanny or friends.

Style Notes
White and with a historical seaside air. Bedrooms are made up with crisp white bedding and to hotel standard. Decor gives a nod to Georgian Charlestown, with a heavy gilded mirror in the bathroom and a naval map and oil paintings on the wall, alongside black and white photography. We love the simplicity and clever use of space.
