About this property

Seaview 1.1 miles. Tucked away on a delightful site, on the outskirts of the town of Seaview, is this charming shepherd’s hut, Merlot.

The hut features a studio-style open-plan layout, with a kitchenette housing the basic amenities for a weekend away, handy for when you’re not sampling the local cuisine. The interior features inset lighting in the ceilings over the bed/seating area, giving the impression of a starlit sky at night. Start your nightly routine in the shower room, freshening up with a warm rinse, before accessing the pull-down double bed from the dining space. However you choose to spend your holiday time, return to the delight of Merlot and recharge for the next adventure.

Seaview is a small Edwardian seaside village on the north eastern shores of the Isle of Wight, only a 15 minute drive from the superb transport links of Ryde. Seaview is one of the South of England’s most famous holiday destinations, with a reputation of being an upmarket resort. This lovely seaside resort has stunning views out across the Solent, gorgeous golden sandy beaches, a sailing club, boutique shops and many popular restaurants and pubs, such as The Seaview Hotel and The Old Fort. On the coastal footpath towards Ryde just off Springvale is Puckpool Park, an old Victorian Fortification Battery, now with tennis courts, mini-golf and a children’s play area set within its pretty gardens. In the summer, locals and tourists take part in the famous Seaview Regatta, competing in many traditional activities, with races on the beach at Seagrove Bay, rowing in the village’s own unique boats, tug of war, the greasy pole and diving, all concluded at the end of the week with a magnificent firework display. As well as being a coastal village the nearby countryside at Seaview’s Duver is a nature reserve, with frequent visits from the beautiful red squirrel, as well as having an incredible array of bird life. A wonderful Isle of Wight base.
