As the evening draws to a close, retire to the well-presented bedroom, where you will find a double bed, ample storage and views of the surrounding area to wake up to each morning. If you can tear yourself away from this delightful accommodation, a short stroll will bring you to the RSPB nature reserve Brading Marshes, this haven for local wildlife is a great place to spot a wide variety of local and migrating animals, also home to the Red Squirrel. After a lovely day taking in this beautiful part of the UK head over to the local pub for a refreshing beverage, or pick from a large choice of restaurants to sample. To keep you busy whilst staying here, venture a little further to the National Trust owned St Helens Duver, where you will find sandy beaches, rock pools and coastal woods to explore, as well as spending time at the former site of a Royal links golf course. Brush up on the local history further by visiting the nearby Brading Roman Villa or the National Trust Bembridge Windmill. Alternatively, the superb Shanklin & Sandown Golf Club and the Amazon World Zoo are within a short drive and promise a memorable day out. Wolverton is an idyllic base for a romantic holiday to the picturesque Isle of Wight.

The village of St Helens lies in a coastal position on high ground, on the eastern side of the Isle of Wight, between Bembridge and Seaview. St Helens is a traditional English village, with the village green at the centre of village life, providing cricket and football pitches, a children’s playground and superb views right across Bembridge Harbour and Culver Down. The village also offers superb restaurants, pub, newsagent, Post Office and grocery store. A short walk takes you to The Duver, an NT area of shingle and sand, and once the site of a Royal links golf course. The beach here is very family friendly, with sand, shingle and lots of interesting rock pools, perfect for crabbing and mussel collecting. There is the popular Baywatch Café, with all the amenities you need for the perfect day at the beach, and stunning views of the Solent and St Helens Fort. The fort was built to protect Portsmouth from a French invasion between 1867 and 1880, and at the lowest tide of the summer, there is a mass walk of up to 2000 people from the beach out to the fort and back again, with driftwood fires and barbecues.
