What the Owner says:
Nearby Freshwater village is bursting with activity whilst still maintaining its old-world charm. It boasts a sports and community centre, a library and post office, as well as independent shops, including a butchers, bakers, fishmongers and a number of grocery stores. For eating out there is a variety of options, including cafes, pubs, take aways and restaurants to enjoy. There is also the very popular Freshwater C of E primary school, as well as a gp surgery and a couple of pharmacies. Within easy walking distance you are spoilt for choice of beaches, with the spectacular Colwell, Freshwater and Totland Bays, all with stunning beaches and hidden coves, chalk cliffs and rocks that jut majestically out to sea. Additionally, there are countless country walks in the area, but none quite as impressive as Tennyson Down - named after the famous, local poet Alfred Lord Tennyson – which affords some the best views of the island.
