    Anita made us so welcome, our room was very well equipped albeit small for two people, but adequate for our needs and the bed was very comfortable and the shower was very good. We had a very nice cooked breakfast on both days, tasty and well...

    Nice place. I got a discount on the room from a certain website, if I’d paid the full price I would say it was expensive.

Company information

If you’re a lover of walking, we’re prime location to set off and find some of the most beautiful island views. The Southern side of the Island is well known for its stunning views of the Needles, chalk white cliffs and vast amounts of farmland. One walk we recommend all our nature loving guests enjoy during their stay is a hike up to St. Catherine’s Oratory, known to the locals as the ‘Pepper pot’, which is one of the highest parts of the Island and the only medieval lighthouse left in England.
