Upstairs, The Cottage continues to impress with a variety of beautifully styled bedrooms to suit families of all ages:

• A large, bright twin bedroom, ideal for children or friends

The Neighborhood:

Bembridge is the perfect destination for the whole family, with three contrasting beaches, close to stunning countryside and offering all the amenities a family should need such as great restaurants, seafood café’s, family butchers, fishmongers, green grocers and bakers to name a few.

Take a picnic for the day, and have fun doing one of the many water sport activities available, from sea angling, dinghy sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding, wind and kite surfing, wakeboarding and water-skiing, or simply build sandcastles and explore the rock pools for crabs and the small-but-tasty Bembridge prawn.

On those non-beach days, there are some spectacular walks that take you inland to Culver Down, via Bembridge Windmill and Bembridge Airport; it is worth taking your camera, especially for the panoramic views from the top.
