Description from owner

Description

Solent Cottage is a charming Victorian cottage with a lot of beautiful original features, incredible sea views and a fantastic location next to a nature reserve and the beach. The living room features a wood burning stove, original Victorian floorboards, and sea views. The kitchen is brand new, as is the bathroom, and both have been finished to an exceptionally high standard.

The master bedroom also has fabulous sea views, and original wooden floorboards. There are two additional bedrooms: a single or twin-bedded room, and a third single room. Although the cottage has a maximum occupancy of 4, there are beds enough for 5 and we will accept some bookings of 5 on request.

Getting around

The cottage is a 3-4 minute drive (or 15 minute walk) along the coast from the historical harbour town of Yarmouth, the arrival point for the car ferry from Lymington in the New Forest, and home to several lovely pubs, restaurants and shops. If you don't want to bring a car, there is a very good bus network all over the island, a regular bus stop at the end of the road, and a request stop at the fort. You can also rent bikes at the old train station next to the river in Yarmouth. If you like walking the whole area is a paradise. The 15 minute walk to Yarmouth runs along the beach and coastal pathway to the edge of the harbour (Sandhart Beach), which you can either walk around, or take the harbour water taxi straight into town.

Interaction with guest

We've been holidaying since we were children, as have our parents before us, and even our grandparents had a little wooden holiday hut at nearby Colwell Beach. We know and love the area very well, and would be delighted to answer any queries you have or make any recommendations. A couple of weeks before your arrival we will send you a welcome pack of suggestions of our favourite restaurants at the moment, and the best things to do in the area. If we're not in the area at the time of your visit, definitely someone from our family will be, and will be happy to help you.
