Chantries

About this property

Chantries is an inviting, detached cottage tucked away in the picturesque village of Bembridge, Isle of Wight. There is space to park two cars in the driveway, with additional space outside the property, adjacent to the front garden wall. With a lovely spot just shy of the coast and welcoming two pets, this stay is ideal for friends, families, and their four-legged travelling companions, with the added benefit of the beaches at Bembridge being dog friendly. Upon entering, you will be greeted by a spacious kitchen/diner, fully equipped for all your culinary needs. Here, you can gather at the dining table to enjoy home-cooked meals or plan the day's adventures over a hearty breakfast. Adjacent to the kitchen, the generously sized sitting room offers a space to unwind, with a TV for entertainment and an open fire which adds a touch of warmth to your stay. From here, large bifold doors lead to an enclosed rear garden, with a large decking area and lush lawn and outdoor furniture for alfresco dining when the sun is out. A Weber 4 burner gas barbecue is also available, ideal for a wonderful afternoon together at home. When the day draws to a close, choose from three inviting bedrooms; a super-king-size, a kingsize, and a twin, all tastefully decorated for you to catch your rest. In the morning, why not freshen up with an indulgent dip in the freestanding bath before starting your day? Discover the best of the island right from the doorstep of Chantries. Begin by exploring the sandy dunes and open greens of National Trust St Helens Duver before stepping back in time at the preserved Bembridge Windmill - the only surviving windmill on the Isle of Wight. A trip to the Isle of Wight wouldn't be complete without soaking in the breathtaking views from Bembridge Fort and Downs, looked after by the National Trust. Nature lovers can also admire the local wildlife at Alan Hersey Nature Reserve or amble to The Earl Yarborough's Monument, a distinctive landmark that's worth the trek for its panoramic views. Discover the charm of Ryde and its surrounding attractions during your stay. Test out your swing at the Westridge Golf Centre, perfect for golf enthusiasts of all levels. For a more adrenaline-fueled experience, head to Wight Karting Go-Kart Track for some high-speed fun with friends and family. No matter how you choose to fill your days, you'll enjoy coming back to the comfort and charm of Chantries.

Bembridge sits on the most eastern point of the Isle of Wight, and it is claimed to be the biggest village in England. Bembridge used to be an island in its own right, and until the Victorian era, was a collection of wooden huts and farmhouses, hence Bembridge remains somewhat detached from the rest of the island even today, which adds to its charm. Bembridge is considered to be one of the most upmarket areas on the island and offers a surprisingly busy intertidal sheltered harbour, which is always full of pleasure crafts and fishing boats providing a constant flow of traffic to and from The Solent. From the harbour you will find quiet beaches consisting of sand and pebbles, perfect for swimming, beachcombing and crabbing and in high winds you will see plenty of kite surfing activity. As you walk along Bembridge beach, you will discover the lifeboat station, cafes and the famous Crab & Lobster Inn, as well as the magnificent Culver Cliffs as your backdrop. The village centre offers a good range of small shops, with its award-winning butcher's and 'The Best Dressed Crab in Town' which is situated in Bembridge harbour, you can also sample local produce from the greengrocer's, visit the art gallery and much more; in fact everything you should need while holidaying here.
