Fools Haven is where two local children, orphaned by the Titanic tragedy, were brought up. They had been sent to live with their Aunt when their father sailed onboard the Titanic as an Engineer on that fateful maiden voyage to New York in April 1912.  There were eight children already living in the Cottage, the addition of two more made ten.  

Susie Millar is the great granddaughter of the Titanic Engineer and has published a book ‘The Two Pennies’  A true story from the Titanic.  It tells the true story of the Millar family and offers a unique insight into how the tragedy affected ordinary lives, in particular those of Thomas Millar’s two sons. 

Why not experience this Titanic Connection yourself and stay at Fools Haven Thatched Cottage.
