The open-plan living room is charming in design and is the heart of the property, where you can spend time as a family with your four-legged friend catching up on the day’s adventures.

Alum Bay sits on the western point of the Isle of Wight and is home to one of the most picturesque beaches on the island, located less than 1 mile away. Framed by the iconic chalk stacks known as The Needles, Alum Bay offers beautiful coloured sands, dramatic coast path walks and breathtaking scenery for you and your beloved canine companion to explore. Freshwater Bay (3 miles) is a pebble beach protected by spectacular white chalk cliffs, where those who are keen water sports enthusiasts, can try their hand at surfing, kayaking, windsurfing, paddle boarding and more.

We were very pleased with everything about this accommodation. All the comforts of home, including binoculars to admire the stunning view. Books, games and puzzles for all the family.

Second time for us at this property and we do love the views and the scenery and walks that are on the door step. Its a great base to stay at would love it to be just a little bit more comfy for wet days when you want to laze about and relax. Its a very quiet and peaceful place to be.

Lovely flat in a fantastic location. 2nd time we have visited. The views from the balcony are wonderful and its great to be able to walk from the door up on to Tennyson Down, over to Freshwater Bay, or around to Alum Bay, the Needles, Totland Bay and Colwell Bay. Perfect spot for me.

Lovely views but location at one end of island and as road was closed meant going over same route all the time. To be fair though we knew where it was. Lovely and clean condition if a little tired. The owners are going to refurbish though as had decorators around to quote whilst we were there. Fantastic walks from the property.

Beautiful location. Unfortunately we couldn't get in on arrival as we weren't given both codes. Once in we noticed some damage, the ensuite shower soap dish is broken and jaggered, the bedlinen had a few yellow stains. This was reported to housekeeper, she was rather unconcerned & unapologetic which was disappointing. The whole flat is in need of aRead more really good clean, eg; we spotted thick dust by the bed & some kitchen items needed washing. At 1500 it falls short of the standard expected. Hide
