Three Mile Beach is currently constructing 4 new smaller holiday homes which are due to be completed by 31st March Spring 2024. The existing beach houses at Three Mile Beach will remain open for sale as normal during the building work. Whilst every effort has been taken to minimise disruption from the build, unavoidably there is the potential of noise from construction as well as traffic coming in and  out of the single access road. The beach houses adjacent to the building site that are likely to be affected are Echo Beach, Rocket Man and Harvest Moon. As a a further means to mitigate any disruption to visitors, these beach houses won’t be available to rent whilst building work is taking place.

Please contact hello@threemilebeach.co.uk or call 01736 805981 (opt 1) prior to your stay if you have any concerns or questions.
