About this property
Totland 1 mile. A lovely, welcoming semi-detached holiday cottage between the beaches of Totland Bay and Freshwater Bay on the west coast of the Isle of Wight. This lovely cottage is perfectly located, in a semi-rural location, for a fun-packed traditional coastal holiday for families and friends alike. The side door of the cottage opens into the kitchen, fitted with everything you would need for your holiday. On the day of arrival there is parking for you to unload by the front door, where you will find plenty of useful coat hanging and shoe and boot storage. The living area is situated at the back of the cottage, with lovely views of the patio and lawned garden, with comfy seating and a electric fire to relax in front of, after a day exploring the beautiful coastline. Upstairs is the spacious master bedroom, with a stunning king-size antique sleigh bed and plenty of useful cupboard space. The second bedroom is a twin, with the third being a single bedroom. The family bathroom has a bath with a shower over the bath. Outside there is a pretty cottage garden, with a patio and a lawned area with stepping stones leading up to the back gate. A lovely, private space for relaxing with a revitalising drink at the end of a day full of adventures. Fieldside is set between Freshwater Bay and Totland Bay with their clear waters, safe swimming and pebble and sandy beaches. Close to Freshwater Bay is the Isle of Wight Adventure Activities centre, which offer exhilarating watersports for the whole family such as kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding and boat tours. After a day on the water, why not walk to Totland Bay and enjoy a relaxing evening at The Waterfront, watching some spectacular skies as the sun sets over the water. Prefer to be more inland, then there is horse riding, golf, stunning walks and mountain biking, making sure there is something for everyone. A lovely cottage, in a wonderfully convenient location that can be enjoyed all year round.
The village of Totland rests in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the west side of the Isle of Wight's beautiful coast. The award-winning beaches of both Totland and Colwell Bay offer a range of activities, whilst Freshwater, is an excellent starting point for walks along the Tennyson Trail. Take a chair lift from Alum Bay and enjoy some of the wonderful views across the sand cliffs to the famous 'Needles' chalk stacks and lighthouse beyond. A great destination with plenty to see and do!

Owners provide all the necessary mod cons, and contactable. In a quiet neighbourhood, it was lovely waking up listening to the birds singing. Would recommend this property
