Sobre esta propriedade

Lovely Bright Garden Apartment overlooking RSPB reserve. Brading

Foinavon – Your perfect holiday home, whatever the season, whatever the weather. You'll have plenty of space to yourselves
You've travelled south, straight towards the sun. You've crossed the water, you've arrived on a beautiful holiday Island, without all the hassles of going abroad (or having your luggage weighed!).
See yourself - you've just opened the door to your holiday home. You parked in your own space on the drive and walked down an easy-going flight of steps to peace and privacy, you are now out of sight of everyone. You're in your own little world, your haven, a full storey height below the busy road you arrived on, yet shielded from noise.
You wanted a private, clean, bright, thoughtfully designed, well equipped base for your holiday, conveniently positioned for the beaches or exploring the Island. That's what we've tried to create for you here.
In from the secure porch, now look around – either side of you are the two light, airy bedrooms, each room is of equal size, one with a King-size bed, the other, a pair of full-size 3' singles, complemented by all matching drawer and bedside units, also double wardrobes, more than adequate mirrors and a dressing top. The bedsides have a choice of both soft lights and reading lamps. Vertical blinds as well as thick curtains for a good night's sleep. Each room has USB sockets by the bedhead, too.
Through the hall, with mirrors bouncing the daylight around, left to the cosy sitting room, with it's patio door revealing THAT VIEW. East facing, for the morning sun, not a building in sight, looking across the lowlands of the RSPB reserve to Culver Down beyond. Step through the patio door onto the balcony, there's only the side neighbours visible. This is a perfect spot for breakfast, perhaps?
Back into the room, you see the two comfy settees, facing both the view and the swivel wall mount smart Sony TV. Also a good DAB radio (with bluetooth to play your own music through), and a USB wall socket for phone charging (unlimited, fast free WiFi from our fibre connection working right throughout the place).
On the shelves you'll find a good range of leaflets and flyers about the many varied attractions of the Island, some maps and even some local history books, if you're interested. We've also written up several driven outings, (starting from Foinavon) to help you find the best way to our choice of the best spots on the Island.
Also off the hall is the white, fully tiled bathroom – with the view – but it's private, none of your windows can even be seen from less than 200m. The shower has a big, fixed rainfall head as well as a flexible handset, over a P shape bath, with glass screen. Immediate, mains-pressure, hot water in this house, too, so there's no waiting for taps to run hot.
Next you find the fully equipped kitchen, with full sized fridge-freezer, also, a proper oven and hob for those who want to cook, Bosch dishwasher for everyone and (simple to use) a microwave, naturally. All the cooking and eating utensils you could need, a Bistro table – breakfast or dinner for two, or children's activities, maybe. The view as well, of course.
From the kitchen, you pass through a utility room with Bosch washing machine, drying lines available outside – we'll tumbledry free for you, if you ask.
Now, down some steps, and pause for a WOW. This is one huge conservatory, and it has casual seating for your whole party as well as a proper dining table and four chairs. There's a darts board and darts, buckets and spades, some picnic plates etc, and a cool box for your use on days out.
The whole garden is exclusively yours, too. So step out onto the pergola terrace, then the lawn. That little summerhouse? That's for you, too. A pair of director chairs, loungers, and somewhere to put your coffee. A perfect little spot.
Newly built is the 'Lookout deck' at the edge of the lower lawn, giving a wider view of the river and the unspoilt land beyond. Sit here a while with a drink.

There really is something for everyone at Foinavon, whatever the season.

From totally private sunbathing on the top lawn, to full central heating.

From birdwatching to stargazing – totally dark skies to the east, at the back.

From a short, easy drive to the beach, to Christmas dinner in the conservatory.

There will always be something to suit you.

Included in your rental is :- all bed linen (changed weekly for longer stays), duvets (choice of weight), towels – personal and bath size. We also leave you mattress toppers, just in case the beds don't suit you (not every bed can suit everybody). All cutlery, crockery and cooking requirements, electric, hot water, central heating etc.
We just don't believe in making extra charges.

All you need to bring with you is your personal requisites, clothes and beach towels.

Foinavon is all yours. Nobody will enter, nor will they come round to the back garden. It's all totally private.

Foinavon was built in the 1960's as a detached bungalow, where we raised our family in comfort. More recently we added an upper storey as a completely separate living unit, which is where we now live. Foinavon itself was replumbed, rewired and modernised throughout, with all new kitchen and bathroom, to bring it up to date to suit it's new purpose and give you the best experience we can offer.

A homely apartment which is well located to access all the main attractions on the island. It had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the little balcony for breakfast and drinks before dinner, and the dining table in the conservatory so we could still enjoy the view whilst eating.

A great base with a beautiful view

A lovely place to explore the Isle of Wight from. Everything you need and more for a home away from home. The openers are very friendly and just upstairs if you need anything. The view from the balcony is gorgeous, we spotted loads of wildlife including herons and numerous butterflies on the week we were there. The dedicated parking space is great and there was bread, butter and milk in the kitchen on arrival!

The view from the balcony and conservatory was lovely and the spa pool was an added bonus and excellent way to relax.There was a lot of useful information about the island on hand and the Hosts were happy to help if we had any questions.

A beautiful property

The property is well situated for easy access to all areas of the island and not too far from the ferries. The property itself is beautiful, a real home from home with everything you could need and probably more. The sitting room, balcony, kitchen and conservatory have wonderful views over the hills behind - and that is well worth the drive out to, where you can see views of the island and mainland. As an added extra there is a hot tub which we enjoyed on several occasions during our visit. We felt very relaxed in the property and had a lovely time.

Foinavan.

Excellent location for visiting most of the highlights of the Island. It was an amazingly well equipped apartment with almost anything you could possibly need. Was very impressed when the oven had a fault on the Sunday and it was replaced with a new one before we returned the following afternoon. Overall would thoroughly recommend..

Many Thanks for your kind review. It's a shame the oven door glass spontaneously shattered. It is one of those things that just happens occasionally. A first time for us. Hopefully the last. Easily available part, so now we have a spare oven! It's very important to us that our Guests have a good experience here.

Lovely place

Very clean. Really well equipped, even books and games, plus a minocular to bird watch! Stunning view. Comfy beds. Close to bus stops and short walk to station. Garden with lots of seating. Hot tub a bonus. Friendly helpful hosts. Quite a lot of stairs, so maybe not so good for older people or small children. Overall a great place for a holiday.

Thank you for those kind words. It's nice to know our efforts are appreciated. Yes, it's not ideal for the less able, but families with children do get on very well here. We try to make it clear in our listing that it's multi-level. The slope we're on is part of the charm here, and it opens up the views. We'd love to be all things for all people, but we do try.

Wonderful whimsical stay on the Isle of Wight

We were so impressed with the property, so clean and comfortable and a real little haven of tranquility. The garden and conservatory was like divine perfect for yoga and games, especially on wet days, captured what sun there was perfectly. Similarly the balcony was another suncatch with a breathtaking view. Rob and Sue were respectful and accomodating hosts, nothing was too much trouble, even offering to tumble dry our wet things before we departed. We loved every moment and will definitely return again at some point in the future. Suzy, Dave, Josh and Ayla

Obviously, we were very disappointed by your asessment of Foinavon. We put a lot of effort in to trying to please every one of our guests, but it is clear that you found some things not to your expectations. You have not, however, given any clue as to what they were. That would have been helpful to other guests, as well as ourselves. We must point out that all our photos are taken by ourselves, “un-posed” so as to give potential guests an accurate preview of what to expect of the property. You will also notice that various elements have been upgraded since the images were taken. Please, when making comments, be specific, so that failings or niggles can be identified and adjusted. “needs a refurb” doesn't really explain anything. We are continuing our progamme of maintenance and improvement works.

Not to be recommended

Beware the Landlady’s wrath if you fail to obey the house rules. Our “crime”? Allowing a visiting dog across the threshold. My husband had called into the property on his morning run to assist our son to pack up and leave at the end of their stay. Unfortunately, he was running with the dog. Within minutes of his arrival there was loud banging on the door. The Landlady was extremely angry that we had transgressed the “no pets” rule. Husband and dog left immediately with profuse apologies which were not accepted. The landlady’s vituperations continued with much haranguing of our son causing considerable upset as he tried to complete their packing. This spoiled an otherwise lovely week of family celebration. The property is situated between a busy main road and the railway line. There’s a parking space which requires precision reversing in from the main road while a queue of traffic builds up behind. The 2 bedrooms are somewhat affected by traffic noise, although from the back of the property there are splendid views of the river Yar and Gander and Bembridge Downs. There is a hot tub although this is better described as a “tepid” tub. A note on the wall says that the water temperature can be increased upon request. However, it is unclear what such a request might provoke given the Landlady’s short fuse. Self-catering holidays such as those offered by Vrbo are no longer a cheap option especially in high season on the Isle of Wight. There is much competition from other accommodation providers. Our experience at 1778496 means that in future we consider alternatives options. We recommend that others do the same.

We were surprised to see your scathing comments, finally published so long after your visit. When you look back over the communications before your visit, you will see that you volunteered the information that, although your family are dog enthusiasts, none would be brought here, as they are not permitted on the property. Naturally, when were aware of the dog being taken in, it was reasonable to remind the handler that it was previously agreed that no dogs would be in the property. I have never known Sue to behave in the way you describe – and wouldn't expect that. Did you witness this for yourself or is this some third-hand version? The simple courtesy of knocking at our door and introducing himself and the dog could have avoided any unpleasantness. We could have taken the dog for a walk. We offer Foinavon as 'dog-free' so we must keep to that standard. The cleaner found dog hairs from just the brief visit, thus requiring deeper cleaning. We do not want contamination to be shown up by a future guest with allergies, after booking what they reasonably expect to be a safe place. The Parking Space. It is simply parallel parking, exactly the same as roadside parking between two vehicles in town or anywhere else. The clear distance from our car (which is always parked tight up to the opposite end), to 'your' end of the space is 6.8metres. – leaving a full 2 metres clear for manoeuvring a large car. We do not recall what vehicle you drove, but, for your comparison, here are a couple of the largest common cars on UK roads, a surprising number of which, other guests have happily parked. Skoda Superb estate 4.8 metres long 1.8m wide. Ford Mondeo estate 4.9m x 1.9m. Drivers of large cars actually seem to be better at parking here! The Spa. As explained on arrival, we had reduced the water temperature from it's usual 'body heat' by three degrees centigrade, for safety and comfort during the exceedingly hot weather at the time. Bathing in overly warm water could rapidly cause illness. At body temperature, a small difference will not be immediately obvious. It was correct to turn down the heat for that reason. It was nothing to do with costs, if that was what you're suggesting. Quite obviously, we would not put up a sign offering to adjust the temperature if we were not prepared to do so. Since the weather settled back to it's usual heat, we've reset the thermostat to normal. The male of the group left site when we started our introductory walk-around during which we explained the situation with the spa, thus leaving partner to participate. We cannot understand why you chose not to tell us of your concerns during the stay. As we always want our guests to have the best possible experience here, we always respond immediately to any issues that we're made aware of. At no time during the rental did we have any communications from guests, so it would be perfectly reasonable to assume that everything was fine. From our own point of view, we would not live with something we considered 'not right' without trying to get the situation resolved, or at least reported. Why did you? As you had booked the property for a relative, rather than for your own occupation, did you actually visit it yourself to see what it is really like?

Very clean property. Good sized bedrooms and king sized main bed. Lounge is small,but has a wonderful view and a balcony overlooking countryside. A massive conservatory downstairs which lwads onto a lovely garden, complete with outdoor furniture. Everything you could need is provided.Location is great for exploring the whole of the island and especially convenient for the 5minute car trip to nearby Sandown. Parking is provided but can be a little tricky to pull onto the drive in busy traffic.Owners were friendly and helpful. They provided a nice welcome package, which was appreciated.When we had issues with the WiFi,it was resolved quickly.The property is entered down a flight of outdoor steps, which could be difficult for people with mobility issues.We are planning on returning to Isle of Wight next year, and would definitely return to this property.

Sobre o anfitrião

Anfitrião: Sue & Rob Greenfield

Imagem do perfil do anfitrião

We - Sue & Rob - both grew up on the Island and have always stayed living on our side of the water. We moved to Foinavon with our small daughters in 1991, drawn by it's situation and views. We've spent many happy years here, the girls attending the local schools before leaving for university. As teachers, one still lives and works on the Island, the other having moved to live and work on the mainland with her husband, whose work took them away. Every time she visits, it is important to her to take the scenic route, followed by a drive along the seafront, before arriving. That's what our Island does to you!
Rob has recently retired and partly looks after the property, Sue has now finished her work at the local hospital.
We chose to buy Foinavon (a bungalow at that time) as our home, some years ago primarily for it's location, it's outlook and ease of transport and travel. More recently we had the opportunity to invest in building a new home for ourselves; but, not wishing to lose our glorious views, we chose to build ourselves an independent apartment above Foinavon, which is where we now live.
Our guests now benefit from the spa, the large conservatory, stylish kitchen etc that we created originally for ourselves. We can't, of course, take the credit for that view!
Where else could you find these facilities, convenience, open outlook and, yet, privacy?
We really can't see ourselves moving from here; we'll continue to share our outlook with you, our guests.

Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade

We chose to buy Foinavon (a bungalow at that time) as our home, some years ago primarily for it's location, it's outlook and ease of transport and travel. More recently we had the opportunity to invest in building a new home for ourselves, but, not wishing to lose our glorious views, we chose to build ourselves an independent apartment above Foinavon, where we now live.

We've tried to make Foinavon to be the place we'd love to visit ourselves.

O que faz essa propriedade ser única?

Even after dark, Foinavon's views go on giving! Facing due east, with no development between us and the sea, we get some fantastic dark skies. You can watch the moon and stars rise over Culver Downs (and the Sunrise, if you want to be up that early).
There are so many countryside walks that you can start from Foinavon that it'd take you a week just to do the easiest ones. (and still have enough for your second week).
Do you want to walk to the sea? Barely over a mile. The full length of the Island to the Needles? About 25 miles, footpaths most of the way (there's a sponsored walk each spring).
A wide range of walks for everyone, all starting on your doorstep, level or energetic. In fact, if you're keen, you could be 400 feet up within a mile of your front door!
For drives out, you have quick and easy access to the whole of our beautiful Island,with few traffic hassles.
We've left you a range of maps and guides to give you some ideas.

We've also written some specially designed driving routes, starting from Foinavon, to help you see the best sights, avoiding the traffic and getting to know the Island better.
Do turn off that satnav over here, though - it will rarely take you the best way!
