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.
​
This impressive aerial photo, kindly taken by one of our guests, shows where the B&B is (yellow star) in relation to the beach. It really is just a 4-minute walk! The photo captures the beauty of Colwell Bay, a mixture of clear water for swimming and rocky areas for exploring. P.S. Only half of the bay is shown here!

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, which makes it great for paddling and offers safe swimming. ​It has a dog-friendly zone all year round, and if you visit us after the 30th of September, your dog can have free run on all the beaches! More information can be found 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. Here is where you'll find "The Hut" restaurant - renowned for its fresh seafood and incredible views.

Surrounding Area:​
​We are right next to the coastal path, which leads to one of the Island's most popular walks along the Tennyson Trail.

The iconic Needles landmark is a 10-minute drive, where you can enjoy the chairlift down the cliffs to the beach and visit the famous Shopping Emporium.
