Welcoming bed and Breakfast with free parking

This is a family home close to the beach and a stones throw from all the amenities in Freshwater and the more alternative side of the island. An easy drive to any attraction on the Isle of Wight and a great place to stay for those that want to be close to Nature. The river Yar and old railway is close by and is a great walk to Yarmouth for bird watchers ! We are on the Tennyson trail at the bottom of the downs , below Tennyson's Cross on the cliff top The space There is a king sized bed and two single in a connecting room separated by a door. The adjoining bathroom /toilet is for the guests sole use . Guest access I am happy to pick up foot passenger guests from the Yarmouth ferry. We are on the Tennyson trail for walkers and cyclists . The Needles are 2 miles walk along the cliffs , where you can visit the Needles battery and rocket launch pad Allum bay has an interesting glass blowing studio and restaurants that serve a good variety of food including Vegan. The Needles Breezer bus stops there and you can take this on a sightseeing tour back to Freshwater or beyond. Compton Bay is a breathtaking 2 mile walk along the cliffs on the Military road .

We are opposite Alfred Lord Tennyson's House that is open 4 days a week to the public by appointment. The gardens are open daily. The first female Victorian portrait photographer Julia Margret Cameron lived in Freshwater Bay . She photographed the famous actors , poets and writers of the time , who stayed in Freshwater while visiting Tennyson , in her piggery 'studio". Her beautiful house is open to the public and has photographic exhibitions and tea rooms looking out across the bay. During your stay I am happy to chat with guests usually at breakfast time with those who like to relax and talk about their day . I can often recommend places to visit . There is no food allowed in the bedrooms but guests can use the breakfast room for evening take aways or just playing games and chatting . I can pick guests up from local restaurants at night if they come without a car and also pick up from Yarmouth ferry as sometimes it’s difficult to get a taxi . Other things to note Children over 5 are welcome. There is a pond in the garden and we have two very friendly whippet dogs .
