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.

Caravan was clean and tidy, very impressed. My only piece of constructive feedback was that access to WiFi would have been great. We did receive the free WiFi pass code however the due to the location of the caravan were unable to gain access to Netflix, Amazon etc.

It was fitted out to a very high standard. The position on the site was first class. It was in a very quiet location but within easy reach of at least 3 walks of interest and even a bus stop.
Bernard
However we were disappointed with the reliability of the wi-fi and BBC i-player etc access. Very intermittent which wqs confirmed by the owner and the site Reception. This should be stated in the listing description. Also when we booked towels were to be provided, however subsequently this was changed so we had to bring home our own wet towels. Not good!
