About this property
Forbes C1 is a delightful, well-positioned home, just a short journey from the shoreline and a hub of amenities and attractions, in the bustling coastal town of Yarmouth, on the Isle of Wight. Complete with a private decked area, a well-equipped kitchen, and flexible sleeping arrangements, Forbes C1 makes the ideal base for a group getaway, inviting six guests. Benefit from off-road parking, before heading towards your new home-from-home, firstly arriving in the light-flooded living/dining room, where you can lounge and unwind after a day of exploring. Continue through to the kitchen, fully-equipped to fulfill your self-catering needs, where you can whip up delicious meals. Dine upon the private decked area, enjoying views of the surrounding parkland, and as the night unfolds, toast to your break with a bottle of wine or two. Return indoors to catch some rest, selecting between a double bedroom with a handy en-suite shower room, and two well-presented twins, one of which can be set up as a double, serviced by a bathroom. Awaken to an itinerary teaming with exploration, firstly making your way to the shoreline to grab a bite to eat at The Boathouse Yarmouth, offering stunning views of the water, before hiking through the Fort Victoria Country Park, or making your way to Yarmouth Pier, also brimming with shops and eateries. Travel south to discover Totland Pier, followed by a stroll along Alum Bay Pebble Beach, guiding you towards The Needles Landmark Attraction, where you can board the chairlift for cliff-top views and beachside vistas. Explore the Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with your walking boots in tow, or reach some of the most popular attractions, dotted centrally across the county, including the Tapnell Farm Park, the magnificent Carisbrooke Castle, and Monkey Haven - Primate Rescue Centre, before returning home in time for the sunset. Enjoy a memorable escape at Forbes C1 with your loved ones.
The attractive seaside town of Yarmouth is the oldest town on the Isle of Wight, and its busy harbour is a haven for all kinds of watercraft, with the terminal used for regular mainland ferry crossings to Lymington. Yarmouth’s narrow streets are home to an attractive array of shops and inns, whilst a visit to Henry viii’s castle is not to be missed. There's great cycling (and a cycle hire shop) and walking to be had along the coastal path. Why not take an energetic stroll at the nearby Tennyson Down and Headon Warren. Sandhard beach is 15 minutes' walk away, with Colwell Bay with its sandy beach and amenities for the family 7 minutes away by car. Yarmouth's pier and sailing club jetty is another good spot for crabbing. Four miles away is Compton Bay, famous for dinosaur remains; head there at low tide and see if you can find the two enormous three-toed feet. West Wight is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Yarmouth is an ideal base from which to explore this wonderful island.
