The Hideaway, Priory Bay, Isle of Wight

A stunning, unique hideaway, in the woodlands on Priory Bay beach, with a mezzanine deck where the children can gaze at the stars from their beds. Please note that the mezzanine is for 2 children or 2 young adults, and is not for grown-ups. Along with its sister yurt, Caribbean Corner, both give a desert island experience, only 2.5 hours from London and 15 minutes from Portsmouth by RIB. We now have a stunning event yurt for milestone events & weddings. If interested, please contact us.

The wide glass doors open on to the terrace with a gas barbecue, seating area and loungers. The view from here is over the idyllic sandy Priory Bay beach. The yurt is in a private setting surrounded by majestic native woodland. The main feature is the sheltered gently shelving sandy beach. It is completely protected from the prevailing winds and the morning sun warms the sea on a rising tide. On a spring tide you can take a morning walk all the way to St Helens Fort, getting wet only up to your knees. If you're lucky enough to come in spring, the woods are carpeted with wild garlic, bluebells, daffodils, primroses and wild violets. We have an abundant bird life and delightful red squirrels.
