Perfect & Peaceful

This property is in a perfect location, 10 minutes to Freshwater Bay beach, numerous walking paths including the Tennyson down/monument or loop to Alum bay/Needles. You can even walk into Freshwater with its unique shops, supermarket and friendly restaurants/cafes. The house has two off road parking spaces and is a beautifully maintained Victorian red brick semi. Very quiet neighbourhood with a small grocery shop at the end of the road and a cafe. Inside the house is spacious and had all the household equipment you would need. There is a convenient shower room/we on the ground floor, with a huge bathroom and a bonus separate W.c on the first floor. All three bedrooms were well equipped and spacious. There is also a good sized front room with three two seater sofas and a large dining room with seats 6. Many an evening after a tiring day of walking and exploring the island we settled down with a board game (provided) and some island treats. Management company were very prompt to respond for a quick repair. Excellent communication. This property is very well managed,maintained and outfitted. We will certainly stay here again on our next visit to the Isle ofWight!
