Merivale

Merivale is stylishly decorated throughout with charming finishing touches. The main bedroom on the first floor has an elegant feel, with a sleek and modern en suite with bath and separate shower cubicle. The second bedroom on the first floor, which overlooks the garden, has a double bed but it's only suitable for one person.

Just a short walk along the road to Seaview, where The Seaview Hotel takes centre stage, a fabulous patio area to the front overlooks the Solent. This is an idyllic spot to sample their famous crab ramekin and soak up the unique atmosphere of this small Edwardian resort. A traditional bar in the hotel has a warm and welcoming feel, great in the winter months, so there is something for all the seasons. A well-stocked community store is a relatively new addition to the village, offering a wide range of local Island produce. Why not nip down the road in the morning to get your fresh croissants, a lovely way to start the day! The Old Fort pub is located opposite the renowned Yacht Club, on the seafront and has amazing views over the Solent, watch the ships sail by whilst you tuck into your fish and chips, just heaven!

For those days when you want to head further afield there is plenty to see and do, why not explore the small town of Yarmouth with its wooden pier and great choice of places to eat. After lunch you can head along the former railway track to Freshwater - look out for all the local and visiting birdlife. West Wight is not to be missed and you must take a trip to the iconic Needles. Head back along Military Road which offers some fantastic view points for you to stop and enjoy. Bring your bike to fully appreciate this cyclist's paradise, there are plenty of routes to suit all abilities and ages with mountain biking in Brightstone Forest to rural road cycling on the lanes that criss-cross the island.
