A fabulous historic venue which has wonderful views and is surrounded by woodland for walks. The accommodation is secure with gated entry. The location is superb with horse riding 2 minutes away at the very friendly Hill Farm Stables. More adventure can be had in Freshwater at the activity centre. We did archery and it was good fun. The local beach at Coldwell Bay is a good sandy beach with just a small bucket and spade shop and cafe. Unspoilt just the way we like it.Fossil walks are close by. We went with Fossil Gems to see the dino footprints on the beach. Our perfect holiday, outdoors, great accommodation and lots to see and do. If you just drive in the car the views are stunning. It doesn't take long to get to the DinoIsle museum or the Roman Villa in Brading either.We cannot wait to come back. My first time in the IOW and with Bluechip and it won't be the last.
