Brook Bay can be found moments away on the unspoiled south west coast of the island. The beach is made up of golden sands, and is great for many activities, from cricket on the beach, to kite and wind-surfing for the more adventurous. One of the beach’s more unique features is the fossilised forest of huge trees which appears from beneath the waves at Hanover Point at low tide, it’s definitely worthwhile booking a tour on the beach to see the dinosaur footprints in the sandstone ledge.
The island has become a real hot spot for cycling enthusiasts with a choice of challenging off road bridleways, peaceful byways and level purpose-made tracks running along its former railway lines. Cycle to the famous Needles landmark or take on the full round the island route, which is 66 miles long and is used for the annual Isle of Wight Randonnee. You can also travel along the route at a more leisurely pace and along the way you will find numerous restaurants, pubs and cafés amongst the quaint villages and towns serving tasty local produce.

Great location, quite and peaceful,shop and pub 7 minutes by car, coastal walks 5 minutes away. Lots to do and see within a 20 minute drive.Cottage was well equipped and very clean.Safe enclosed garden for the dog.Only issue was the small bedroom area if you are tall and the small bed, the settee was so uncomfortable.

We booked this last minute after our previous pick which we booked 12 months ago was cancelled . The property had been sold without our knowledge.We chose this as this said there were local amenities and a pub within a mile.We were told last minute that the pub was now shut and locals said it had been shut for over 12 months.It was clean and you could get a bus to the pub and amenities but only ran very 2 hours.It was clean and within walking distance of the beach.ok if you have a dog and want to be very remote.

Great location for walking on Brook beach which the dog can go on all year round.Searching for dinosaur footprints when the tide is out is a must.Very peaceful location and a good base for visiting the island.The accommodation was clean and adequately equipped for the two of us, my only negative comment would be that the sofa was a little uncomfortable, but that said we weren’t there to sit around when there was so much to explore and visit.
