Overview
Property code: OC-85248

Quirky and characterful with unique decor and access to some excellent facilities, this cosy annexe is perfect for couples. You’ll be situated just a short walk from Sandown’s glorious sandy beach for seashore strolls and leisurely dips in the sea rounded off with fish and chips at sunset. Weary from your adventures, treat yourself to an invigorating experience in your private sauna followed by a crisp glass of bubbly.

Tucked beneath the owners home yet with privacy ensured, your abode is in a tucked away setting surrounded by trees and features neutral tones throughout. Rustle up something delicious in the galley-style kitchen using the electric oven and two ring hob and microwave, storing your spoils in the fridge with a freezer compartment. There’s a compact table and chairs for mealtimes, or head outside to dine alfresco. Snuggle up in the lounge and watch the Smart TV, or retreat to bed to watch the additional small Smart TV. Completing the property is a bathroom with a whirlpool bath, but the ultimate treat is most definitely the in-built sauna room. There is a garden room with corner sofa, drinks fridge, books, multi games table featuring air hockey, table football, pool, chess and mini skittles and a safety dartboard. It's the ideal space for relaxing and watching the wildlife or having great fun playing one of the many games.

Sandown has lots to offer in the way of entertainment whether you are tempted by traditional beachside amusements such as miniature golf and arcades or something a little more adventurous. Golf, water sports, cycling and walking are all possible, but you will also have ample time to splash in the sea and sunbathe. The Garlic Farm 5 miles away is a wonderful place to visit to explore the gardens and enjoy garlic-themed fare, perhaps even sampling the beer brewed on-site.

The accommodation was really cozy and just the right size for a couple. The use of a sauna after a long day out was just the ticket, very nice facility to have.

Bay Springs is a good, compact yet spacious cottage for two people.The kitchen, living room , and dining space are ample considering how much time you are in the cottage. The location is ideal for people who want to leave the car on the drive and tour the island by bus.

Great base for a holiday, clean, tidy and comfortable. Easy access to train and buses for anyone not wanting to use a car. Lovely sandy beech where you can hire sunbeds, parasols, windbreaks or a beach hut at reasonable prices. Apartment is an easy 10 minute walk to the sea front. Red squirrels visit the garden frequently.

This cottage is perfect for 2 people. It is ideally situated on bus and train routes, it is lovely and quiet and the red squirrels are an added bonus. We loved the private sauna and made use of it every day. The garden is a lovely spot to sit in the evening sunshine.

We couldn't have chosen better. Emily is lovely and so helpful. We were so grateful to her for all the guidance as to local facilities, transport, places to visit, etc. &, as we're walkers, her knowledge of landslips & closed paths across the island saved us a lot of problems.

Lovely compact cottage (annexe) that is very well equipped, very comfortable and is in an excellent location (quiet but still only 10 min walk to the beach). Loved the red squirrels in the garden every day and would have used the sauna more if it hadn't been so hot outside during our stay. Just one tip if using satnav: search for 'resevoir lane' anRead mored not 'bay springs the paddock' like we did, as the Paddock is a different road somewhere else on the island. Overall great value for money. Hide
