Located right on the seafront of Bonchurch, overlooking the pedestrian only promenade which offers a wonderful coastal walk to vibrant Ventnor. It has been renovated to a very high standard to provide beautiful accommodation for 6-7 people and is all on one level from the driveway and throughout the property. It has been furnished and equipped with great sensitivity and a wonderful use of light and colour. The village centre is a short walk away where you’ll find a large pond with plenty of wildlife, an 11th-century church, beautiful stone buildings and sub-tropical plants. Bonchurch has a peaceful air which is perhaps why it was popular with writers and poets in Victorian times. Explore along the promenade, which leads you through Wheelers Bay to the small seaside resort of Ventnor with plentiful beach, cafés, restaurants and various small shops. The coastal path eastwards from Bonchurch provides a delightful walk through the rural hamlet of Luccombe to the larger seaside resort of Shanklin – a great route for a walking day trip.
