Close to popular Shanklin, with its pretty thatched cottages, public houses, restaurants, small shops, nearby theatre, and wonderfully sandy beach. Choose to walk to town via the nearby steps that ascend to the cliff top, or via the natural wooded gorge of Shanklin Chine. A short walk along the beach there is a quiet public house serving meals, and further along the promenade is a choice of restaurants overlooking the sea, plus classic seaside entertainments such as crazy golf and slot machines. Entering the cottage on the ground floor there is an open plan kitchen with a range cooker with a gas hob and electric oven, microwave, dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine; an adjoining utility area features a large fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer.
