Our house, set in an acre of secluded grounds, is beautifully situated amidst National Trust downland. Nestling beneath Tennyson Down, not far from the magnificent cliffs towering above `Frenchman's Hole', it has splendid country and Solentviews. Here you can enjoy many interesting and varied walks. For that feeling of being on top of the world, try the walk across the Downs to the tip of the headland for breathtaking views of the Needles and the sweep of the Dorset coastline.

We offer a traditional English breakfast, but of course you may order a light Continental breakfast if you prefer.

In the evenings you can relax in the comfort of our guests lounge and if conversation runs short there is an eclectic choice of books or magazines to entertain you. You may of course like to take a short stroll and explore our acre of grounds around the house or just relax on the terrace.The house has eight bedrooms and two family suites. Four bedrooms are on the ground floor, four on the first floor and the family suites, (comprising two bedrooms and bathroom), are on the second. The spacious bedrooms, all of which have en suite facilities, are each furnished with an individual charm and have delightful rural aspects or sea views. Each room has a colour television and hot drink making facility.

How to find us: From Yarmouth follow signs to Totland, then Alum Bay. About ½ mile after leaving Totland, look for a sharp left-hand fork doubling back. This is Alum Bay Old Road and we are ¼ mile down on the right.
