West Coast Cottage

Hidden inside a strikingly-beautiful red-brick house, somewhere on the west coast of Germany (this place isn’t even listed on Google Maps…), you’ll find bright white interiors and mismatched furniture, carefully curated and inspired by English seaside cottages.

The Lemonade Family visited Cornwall, on England's south-west coast. Here, they spent a wonderful holiday, sleeping in pretty, beautifully furnished cottages that were located in small villages and towns. It was during this trip that they were inspired to create a cosy cottage in one of their favourite parts of Germany.

The building itself dates from the 1780s, and before becoming a residential space, it was a milk and lemonade shop (funny combination, huh!). Luckily for us, the bold exterior, and lots of original details, have been restored and protected, and the family spent years carefully renovating the interiors, transforming the space into a bright, open space, full of unique decor, perfect for families and couples.

If you can bear to tear yourself away from the cottage and its courtyard garden, the Eiderstedt peninsula is a wonderful playground for lovers of the outdoors. With miles of sandy beaches, long bike trails and plenty of wildlife, it’s impossible to get bored.
