Perfect location in Bembridge
Coastal Cottage has a perfect location in Bembridge - about 5 minutes' walk down the lanes to a quiet stretch of the beach between the harbour and the lifeboat station, and less than that in the other direction to the village centre with the Co-op, restaurants, pub, Lagom coffee and the fabulous Hot Box Bakery. It's great value for that alone. The house is not perfect - the kitchen is well-equipped but dark and has an awkward dog-leg design, some of the windows and doors look a bit old, and we'd have liked bigger, squashier sofas. But the positives certainly outweigh the negatives. The bedrooms are nicely decorated and comfy, and there's a modern main bathroom and a separate shower room with a second toilet. The garden is spacious, has a big table and chairs and other benches, has both shady and sunny areas almost all day so is perfect for both relaxing and drying wet beach stuff (we made much use of the rotary washing line), and is fully enclosed with high fences/hedges so is great for safely letting the dog out. We arrived to Prosecco and a friendly note from the owners, and felt very welcome.
