About this property
Fossils Retreat: comfy 2 bedroom chalet with Sun deck & wifi.
A 2 bedroom chalet with Sun deck and wifi, located just 100m from the cliff top in a quiet spot on the holiday park. The cliff top coastal path can lead down to the beaches of Sandown Bay, or up and over Bembridge Downs and Culver cliffs. The chalet receives the Sun all day. It is modern, fully equipped, and with all linens provided. We have made it as comfy as possible!

About the host
Hosted by Ian Barker
We are a semi retired professional couple who have returned to live on the Island after careers around the Country, and indeed, around the World. We live locally, in Godshill. We've taken on 2 holiday chalets, aiming to offer the most comfortable holidays in a great location, at a reasonable price, and we hope that works for our customers.
Why they chose this property
Fossils Retreat has been created as a comfortable and fully equipped holiday chalet to offer the best break you can have. It sits in a wonderful location near the cliff top and has a private Sun-deck that receives the Sun all day. Our superfast broadband allows our guests to catch up on business (perish the thought!) as well as leisure use.
What makes this property unique
This is one of the few chalets on this holiday park that can offer the extra space of a Sun-deck, and free superfast broadband.
