| Our
properties are located in a peaceful family friendly area. There is a
little stream that runs from behind the properties into the Solent that
is great for crabbing. |
 |
| The beach is less than 100 meters from the front doors of both of our properties. It is a shingle and rocky beach with great rock pools at low tide and some sandy areas that are ideal for sunbathing. |

The Isle of Wight has over a dozen award winning beaches that are maintained to an extremely high standard including Gurnard Bay, a sand and shingle beach. It is popular with families and ideal for dinghy sailing and wind surfing. There is a good family pub, The Woodvale, and local café, both of which have beautiful Solent views. |

 |
Just a short walk along the esplanade is Cowes Green and Beach. This is a popular spot to watch the vast array of sailing activities and see the great liners & cruise ships coming in and out of Southampton Water, as well as an excellent vantage point to see the Cowes Week Friday night fireworks. |
