This leisurely walk from the ’dry end’ of the pier takes approximately 25 minutes. Heading west, you can follow the slightly inland coastal path until you reach the Benedictine monastery of Quarr Abbey in a slightly hillier direction.
For families, there are plenty of activities such as visiting the Robin Hill Country Park, with its thrilling rides and outdoor adventures, or exploring the underwater world at the Blue Reef Aquarium in nearby Sandown.

This was our second stay at this property which says it all. The flat was sparkling clean and had everything necessary for our stay. Plenty of china, pots and pans etc. The decor and furnishings are excellent. The garden has a very good garden room filled with everything needed to relax in the sun.

We had a wonderful stay at the Garden Flat, a real home from home, very comfortable and beautifully decorated. Exceptionally well equipped kitchen. The garden is such a lovely bonus, great space for a glass of wine after a full day of exploring the Island. Fab location, just a five minute walk in to town and the sea. A gem of a find and will be rebooking for next year.

The garden flat is a comfortable retreat on a quiet road. The garden is a valuable addition and is a lovely extra living space. The bedrooms stay cool in the heat. The flat was very clean.The property is well equipped with a practical kitchen that makes an extended trip easy - you don't feel like you have to 'make do'. There are lots of little touches that make the place very welcoming and usable. We really appreciated the clear instructions for the appliances, books, board games and beach chairs.
