House on the Shore

About

This 3 bedroom family home accommodates six adults, two children and has a small bed for a toddler and a travel cot for an infant if required. 

With a stunning panoramic sea view across to the mainland, the house is adjacent to the coastal path as it runs through the woodland of Fort Victoria Country Park. There is direct access to the shore from the front lawn and lovely woodland coastal walks from the back gate. 

A 15 - 20 minute walk along the beach and sea-wall brings you to the small historic town of Yarmouth with a good variety of shops, pubs, restaurants and the Wightlink ferry to Lymington.

West Wight, the quietest and most peaceful part  of the island, is ideal for walkers, cyclists, sailors and families alike with stunning coastal scenery and a variety of beaches within walking or short driving distance from the house.

House rules:

You will be staying in a peaceful residential area and, with this in mind, there are certain things which have been agreed by local residents for everyone’s benefit. We  ask you to kindly respect and observe these guidelines for the sake of others who are resident or holidaying in Fort Victoria Country Park.

Noise and Nuisance: No large parties are permitted and, to avoid disturbing the peace of the others, music shouldn’t be played outdoors in the garden or on our balcony. Also, indoors, please keep music at a considerate level that doesn’t disturb the neighbours. If you are having a social gathering, please move indoors by 10:00 p.m. and keep noise to a minimum when other residents are likely to be in bed. Please note that there is a no-smoking policy in the house

Dogs: 

Well-behaved dogs are welcome but your dog should not roam free in the car park or on the front lawn. This is to avoid nuisance to those who are not dog-lovers and to avoid fouling in areas where people walk and children play. Please don’t allow your dog on sofas or the beds. There has to be an additional charge if heavy cleaning is required following your stay.

Housekeeping: 

The housekeeper will have the house ready for you by 4:00 p.m. Please don't arrive before then because she will be doing a thorough Covid-safe clean of the house, making the beds etc. 

Similarly it is essential that you vacate the property by 10 a.m. so that the housekeeper has enough time to prepare the house for the next visitors.

Linen and towels provided.
