LOCATION:



Freshwater Bay is one of the most picturesque beaches in West Wight and lies just to the South of the town of Freshwater. The beach is covered in a mixture of grey flint and chalk pebbles that make a unique sound as the waves rise and fall onto the shore. There is sand below the low water mark and some sandy areas to sit if you walk to the more eastern side of the bay. There is also a rock ledge revealed at low tide at this side, which is great for rock pooling with your kids.



Smugglers once used the caves around the bottom of the chalk cliffs that are exposed at low tide – if you wish to explore them it is best to find a local guide as you can become cut off by the tide. Kayaking is the ideal way to see them and the other small bays. This beach is popular for surfing and water sports and boats will moor offshore to come ashore. The Freshwater Independent Lifeboat is launched from this bay when required by those in trouble at sea.



Overlooking the bay is the Albion Hotel that houses a public bar or visit the Dimbola Museum and galleries for an afternoon tea..

    Great location, cute cottage, very clean. Bedrooms were a little tight and it took 2 days to get the hot tub on and up to temperature but we did get to enjoy it on our final night.

    Loved the location, by walks and the sea. The living space and bathroom areas are fabulous and large. Everything you could need in the kitchen, the drier was a bonus after using the hot tub (lush), we could dry our towels. Would stay again definitely. Hanging in bedroom was a bit wobbly, could do with fixing. A couple more hooks on the back of the bedroom doors would be useful. These are very minor though and did not affect our holiday at all.

    The location was fantastic. It was great to make a cup of tea in the house and drink it on the beach! The size of the accommodation was generous in the shared spaces. The hot tub was delightful. Put some hooks on the pergola next to the hot tub for towels. Put some side drawers next the bed in the main bedroom for clothing. When there’s heavy rain, the storm drain will flood the end of the garden (it will go down over a number of hours) but this will separate you from the parking area…could some raised pavement be put in to access the parking area?

    Nice and modern with everything we needed. Lovely family kitchen and well thought out. Lounge was comfy with plenty of side tables. Bedroom compacted and nicely decorated and beds comfortable. Great having our own parking spot.

    The whole experience from booking to leaving the property from start to finish was excellent, just what you need when you are busy and rushing around preparing for time away. Supremely clean home, extremely comfortable.

    The internal was designed and fitted to a high spec as described and had all that you need for a great holiday. Supplemented by a great location just a stones throw from the beach. Sadly the exterior of the property did not provide the same standard. Unfortunately the Hot Tub did not work for the duration of our stay and despite having a large patio and grounds these were not well maintained and looked sad and tired. A shame because there is great potential for a lovely relaxation space, barbeque and seaside garden planting which would significantly enhance the property.

    Newly refurbished and very well presented accommodation. 1 minute from the beach meant we could wander over to the sea with mug of coffee in hand. Perfect

    The property is in a good location for Freshwater beach. Inside there is a large light and airy kitchen/diner with some comfortable seating but not enough to seat 3 or 4 adults to socialise conveniently. The twin bedroom is virtually inaccessible because of the size of the beds! The outside space could be made more attractive and practical - there was no easy furniture for sitting about. The hot tub was wasted on us and had a constant irritating hum.
