Bayside is a charming detached bungalow within a three minute walk of the sea at Colwell Bay on the west side of the Isle of Wight. This is a brilliant walking area with the coastal path offering easy access via Totland Bay and Alum Bay to The Needles on the western tip of the Isle of Wight, and the beautiful Tennyson Down which drops down into Freshwater Bay. Colwell Bay is a quiet coastal spot with a sandy beach at low tide where visitors can swim and paddle. There is an attractive cafe, bar and restaurant with views across the bay, plus a small shop. The promenade can be followed around to Totland Bay. Nearby is the attractive harbour and sailing centre of Yarmouth with its various restaurants, cafes and small shops. Boat trips and fishing can also be enjoyed here. The pretty town of Freshwater with its shops, fresh fish, public houses, sports centre with swimming pool and a golf club is also within a few minutes drive.

We had a lovely comfortable stay in Bayside Cottage. Everything we could possibly need was supplied. This is an excellent location for visiting the West Wight area and if you don't want to drive, there is a reliable bus route a short walk from the property. We are very glad we have already booked to return next year.

Amazing week! Moyra popped to see us shortly after arrival and made us all feel very welcome. As previous reviews state the house is immaculate and very clean. Like no previous guest has stayed there. Lovely comfortable beds and plenty of space. Clear instruction throughout the house so settled in very quickly. We went to the beach numerous times wRead morehich is just a short walk down the road from the house.. Check the tide times before you go. Perfect location to explore the island. Cannot fault it.

I have stayed at this bungalow 8 times,that says it all. I have stayed in self catering cottages for over 35 years. This accommodation is by far the best. Words can't describe how good this place is. Owner and her team are very caring and so much thought has gone into the presentation of this bungalow.

The bungalow was spotlessly clean and the best equipped we have ever come across. The beach with cafe, bar and restaurants was only a few minutes walk. The sunsets from the beach and beer garden were incredible. We were bothered a bit by the road noise but it didnt spoil our wonderful holiday. We would definitely recommend this property.
