Our Location:
​
We are located at the end of a quiet private road, just 150 metres from Colwell Bay (down a sloped and stepped path). We are on the West Coast of the Isle of Wight, which we chose for its natural beauty and breathtaking scenery. We are spoilt for choice with the beaches on offer and clifftop walks starting right on our doorstep.
​
Colwell Bay:
​
Colwell Bay offers large areas of soft sand ideal for sunbathing and paddling, but also has areas of rocks where children and adults alike can enjoy finding crabs and small fish. The beach slopes gently into the sea so it's great for paddling and offers safe swimming.
​
It has a dog-friendly zone all year through and if you visit us after the 30th September, your dog can have free run on all the beaches! More information can be found here.
​
If you're feeling adventurous, why not try SupDog Rentals, where you can hire stand-up paddle boards at reasonable prices! If you're heading to the beach, we recommend checking the tide times HERE.
​
A delicious beach café and other eateries are located on the promenade which stretches all the way to Totland Bay and makes for a lovely walk.
