Beech cottage was lovely. Cosy and clean and comfortable Sea view . It had everything we needed ( including even a cafetière. I would have liked to have known things like that in advance but couldn’t find the information, but that could well have just been me and it was a last minute booking) . Lovely walks from the cottage . Just minutes to the coast and less than an hours lovely walk to great coffee. Fantastic ! Would definitely recommend it

What a beautiful location. A lovely period property with sea views, a small but perfectly lush garden which we really enjoyed. Short walk to deserted beach. A car drive into Ventnor but was worth it for the peace. Had everything we needed and would recommend and will likely return.
