The Coast Guard's House Darling Island : Romantic, small town coastal love story for 2022!

Escape with Polly B's gorgeous new dreamy, romantic comedy series for 2022.

Welcome to Darling Island ~ just off the mainland, so very far from care.

An utterly magical setting, wonderful storytelling and the perfect story to curl up with & lose yourself to your happy place on a tiny little island just off the English south coast.

Lucie Peachtree is living her (nearly) best life as she prepares to pack up her house to move to the country with her ever-so-handsome, teenage heartthrob boyfriend turned partner, Rob.

Rob, unfortunately, forgets to mention that while Lucie was selling their house, trying to get pregnant and was doing all the things, had secured himself another life, thank-you-very-much. A life complete with a twenty-four-year-old very much pregnant work colleague and not including Lucie in any shape or form.

Dropped into a world Lucie has never known, one night she sets out to a calling from the universe. With a glass of wine, a tub full of bubbly water and rather too many onion bhajis, she sees something on the internet that takes her fancy. Before she has time to think about it too much, she has bought a rather large, rather rundown house on a little island just off the coast.

And so begins Lucie Peachtree’s initiation into all things Darling Island, a place she arrives in with more than a pang of regret.

As she feels her way into Darling’s quaint ways, a very surprising love interest walks slap bang into her life and suddenly living on Darling looks oh-so-much more on the rosier side.

With its gorgeous old blue and white buildings, cosy small-town feel, floating bridges, trundling vintage trams and a plethora of wonderful characters, we are whisked along for the ride as we watch Lucie navigate her way to a new life on the coast in the old Coastguard’s House.

Darling is a quiet seaside town on Darling Island known for its fine architecture and olde-worlde charm. Nestled on the beautiful hazy waters of Darling Estuary, Darling’s sandy beaches and bustling community is a well-kept secret just off the coast.

You know you’ve arrived on Darling when you step off the Pride of Darling floating bridge and take a trip up the main street on the tram.

With its beautiful sea mists, abundant flora and fauna and the sound of the old fog horn in the distance Darling will hold you in her grasp and never let you go.

Darling Island ~ just off the mainland, so very far from care.
