Just a mile from the golden sands of Totland Bay, this cosy, single-storey property offers a lovely base for a holiday on the Isle of Wight, renowned as the sunniest place in Britain. Sleeping four guests, it is ideal for a family or couples, with a wealth of attractions to enjoy within easy reach. The west-facing beach is a great spot for a swim and a picnic, with a sea wall where you can perch to watch the sunset.

Step inside the hallway of your welcoming holiday home, one of a complex of properties, and enter the thoughtfully planned, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This spacious living space is light and airy, while the interior is furnished throughout in simple contemporary style, with a charming nautical theme. Relax on comfortable sofas to watch the Smart TV, get cooking in the compact kitchen and share meals in the pretty dining area. Drift off to sleep in the two peaceful bedrooms, a double and a twin. A shower room with a WC completes the layout. Large French doors open onto the enclosed patio, with seating and a bubbling hot tub. You can also use the on-site indoor swimming pool. There is private parking for one car.
After a hike across Tennyson Down, explore the Needles Old Battery. Take a fast or slow boat cruise around the Needles and go car-free to enjoy sea views on bus routes along the coast. The National Trust’s beautiful Mottistone Gardens (7.5 miles) surround an Elizabethan manor house (not open to the public) and has a charming tearoom.
