The property
The Retreat is a charming house nestled on a corner plot in Freshwater, Isle of Wight, surrounded by trees and offering sea glimpses from the patio.
Just a short stroll from the beach, with off-road parking available, it provides an ideal getaway for families or friends seeking coastal tranquillity.
Upon entering this single-storey abode, you will be greeted by a tastefully decorated open-plan area, where you can enjoy quality time with your loved ones.
The kitchen/diner is well-equipped with everything you need to prepare delicious meals, which can be enjoyed at the dining table.
After dinner, retire to the sitting room, where you can relax and unwind, perhaps with a good book or a favourite film on the TV.
When it's time to rest, choose from two nautically-themed bedrooms; a double and a twin, both offering ample storage for your holiday attire.
The bathroom is fitted with a bath and an overhead shower, a basin, a heated towel rail, and a WC, perfect for rinsing off the day’s sand with a quick shower or unwinding with a soothing soak.
Step outside to the quaint front patio, where comfortable seating invites you to savour your morning coffee or unwind with an evening drink.
Relax as you enjoy gentle sea breezes and glimpses of the coastline, with plenty of room to soak up the fresh air and peaceful surroundings.
Once settled at The Retreat, step out to explore the local area.
Don't miss The Needles Landmark Attraction, a striking trio of chalk sea stacks that rise dramatically from the sea, offering an awe-inspiring view.
For a great family day out, Tapnell Farm Park and the Hurst Castle are a must-visit.
Enjoy the panoramic vista at the National Trust - The Needles Headland & Tennyson Down, where you can soak in the beauty of unspoilt coastline and lush greens.
Step onto The Needles Chair Lift for a unique and thrilling ride offering unbeatable views of the sparkling white rocks and brilliant coloured sand cliffs.
Make time to visit the lush greenery of the Fort Victoria Country Park, and bask in the sun at the shimmering waters at Freshwater Bay to end your day, before returning to the comfort of the Retreat.
Let every moment at the Isle of Wight be a memory cherished forever at The Retreat.
About the location
FRESHWATER
Yarmouth 3 miles; Cowes 16 miles; Fishbourne 16 miles; Ryde 18 miles.
Freshwater is situated at the western tip of the Isle of Wight and consists of Freshwater Village and Freshwater Bay. Freshwater village offers a good selection of small independent shops, cafes and the West Wight Sports Centre and Indoor Swimming Pool. The magnificent high chalk cliffs, rolling downs and delightful beaches at Freshwater Bay and nearby Compton Bay attract many visitors and surfers all year round. The renowned Freshwater Bay Golf Club, which overlooks the English Channel has stunning coastal sea views from most tees and offers a superb day out for golfers of all abilities, whilst the area is a haven for birdwatchers, cyclists and walkers with many wonderful walks to be enjoyed not only on West Wight but across the entire Isle of Wight criss-crossing over a much varied island landscape. Locally, Afton Down (the location of the famous 1970 Isle of Wight Music Festival), and Tennyson Down are the most popular walks. At the foot of Tennyson Down is the Dimbola Museum and Photographic Galleries. The Needles Pleasure Park at Alum Bay with its coloured sand cliffs and chairlift to the beach is just south west of Freshwater, plus a little further afield on the north coast of the Isle of Wight is the premier yachting centre of Cowes. Osborne House (the former home of Queen Victoria) is located at East Cowes. The nearby Farringford Hotel on the edge of Freshwater Bay was once the home of the British Poet Laureate, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and many notable poets, authors and painters have been attracted to the area of West Wight over the years. With the seaside town of Yarmouth close by with its busy harbour and pier, shops, inns, eateries and impressive Tudor castle, this is an ideal base for an enjoyable holiday.
