An ideally located holiday home, on the west side of the Isle of Wight, to enjoy the beauty and history of the island
Gather the pack and set sail to the Isle of Wight for a staycation filled with countryside adventures, delicious local food and more seaside strolls than you can shake a stick at. Studded close to the shores of Colwell Bay, this cosy bungalow is ideal for up to six humans and three hounds. Start your days with a slap-up breakfast on the decked patio, planning your daily itinerary around ample stops for refreshments at one of the charming cafes.
Step through the entrance porch and wipe down muddy paws before relaxing in the comfortable lounge, scratching behind Fido’s ears as you catch up on some TV. A welcoming kitchen is a haven for enthusiastic cooks, where you can transform locally sourced ingredients into a culinary masterpiece. A spacious bedroom with an elegant en-suite shower room is just the ticket for weary guests, and two further bedrooms share a fabulous shower room. Natural light pours into the conservatory, where you can curl up with a good book and a few tasty treats. Outside, the garden is safely enclosed for curious pooches to play safely whilst their beloved owner sips wine on the decked area. There’s ample off-road parking too.
Sniff out iconic places to explore such as the Needles at Alum Bay 3 miles away, or the windswept hills leading to the Tennyson Down monument 2.5 miles away. A stunning 2.5-mile walk along the old railway line to Yarmouth is a wonderful way to spend the afternoon, refuelling with a hearty lunch at one of the friendly pubs. Further afield, the Victorian seaside town of Ventnor 19 miles away has a cheerful promenade and plenty to amuse guests of all ages, including a sand and shingle beach that welcomes furry visitors out of season.
