Lovely walks along Colwell Bay and lucky to see some amazing sunsets - well worth a walk to beach after 9.00pm. Couldn't use garden furniture at property as requires a very good clean - no shade in garden so useful to have a garden umbrella. Freshwater Bay and Yarmouth areas seem best part of the island. TV at property has limited channels for some reason - no BBC2 or Channel 4. Property in a nice quiet residential area and easy walk to shops in Freshwater. Garden at rear needs some TLC to make it more enjoyable.

Close to Colewell Bay for beach walks and sunset. Owners let us in earlier which was great. On the whole a great little place for a relaxing holiday.
