As a delightful sun trap, it’s an ideal spot to bask in the day’s last golden rays. Step inside to discover the heart of the home: the open-plan living space. Here, the designated chef can whip up a delicious meal in the well-equipped kitchen, perfect for those evenings when you prefer to dine in rather than visit the on-site restaurant. Gather around the dining table to enjoy your feast, sharing stories and laughter. Afterward, sink into the plush seating in the sitting area, where you can unwind in front of the Smart TV, warmed by the glow of the coal-effect fire. On warmer evenings, throw open the patio doors to let in the gentle sounds of nature, perhaps catching the occasional bird song as you relax. Wash away the day’s adventures in the well-appointed shower room before slipping into your comfiest pyjamas and choosing from three inviting bedrooms. Unwind in the twin with its own TV, the second twin, or the elegant double, which also features a TV and the added bonus of an en-suite shower room for extra privacy and convenience. Enjoy the sandy shores of the picturesque Whitecliff bay, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or exploring rock pools. Benbridge Beach is more popular during summer months, ideal for family picnics, paddleboarding, or spotting the local wildlife. Rent kayaks or paddleboards to explore Bembridge harbour, or book a fishing trip for a relaxing day on the water. Lace up your hiking boots and embark on a trip through Culver Down for breathtaking views over the coastline and a chance to spot birds of prey. Pay a visit to the National Trust building - Bembridge Windmill, don't forget your camera! Animal lovers will enjoy a visit to the Wildheart Animal Sanctuary, while families with young adventurers can ignite their imaginations at Dinosaur Isle. This fascinating attraction, housed in a unique pterodactyl-shaped building, features animatronic dinosaurs and showcases over 1,000 of the island's finest fossils. 117 Crosswinds provides everything you could wish for in a self-catering holiday, making it the perfect choice for a memorable seaside getaway with your loved ones.
Bembridge sits on the most eastern point of the Isle of Wight, and it is claimed to be the biggest village in England. Bembridge used to be an island in its own right, and until the Victorian era, was a collection of wooden huts and farmhouses, hence Bembridge remains somewhat detached from the rest of the island even today, which adds to its charm. Bembridge is considered to be one of the most upmarket areas on the island and offers a surprisingly busy intertidal sheltered harbour, which is always full of pleasure crafts and fishing boats providing a constant flow of traffic to and from The Solent. From the harbour you will find quiet beaches consisting of sand and pebbles, perfect for swimming, beachcombing and crabbing and in high winds you will see plenty of kite surfing activity. As you walk along Bembridge beach, you will discover the lifeboat station, cafes and the famous Crab & Lobster Inn, as well as the magnificent Culver Cliffs as your backdrop. The village centre offers a good range of small shops, with its award-winning butcher's and 'The Best Dressed Crab in Town' which is situated in Bembridge harbour, you can also sample local produce from the greengrocer's, visit the art gallery and much more; in fact everything you should need while holidaying here.
