About this property
Yarmouth 1.2 miles. Located on the outskirts of Yarmouth, a bustling coastal town upon the Isle of Wight is Forbes C1, a well-positioned, single-storey home. Just a short journey from the shoreline and a hub of amenities and attractions, whilst complete with a private decked area, a well-equipped kitchen, and flexible sleeping arrangements, Forbes C1 makes the ideal base for a group getaway, inviting six guests. Benefit from off-road parking, before heading towards your new home-from-home, firstly arriving in the light-flooded living/dining room, where you can lounge and unwind after a day of travelling. Continue through to the kitchen, fully-equipped to fulfil your self-catering needs, where you can whip up delicious meals. Dine upon the private decked area, enjoying views of the surrounding parkland, and as the night unfolds, toast to your break with a bottle of wine or two. Return indoors to catch some rest, selecting between a double bedroom with a handy en-suite shower room, and two well-presented twins, serviced by a bathroom. Awaken to an itinerary teaming with exploration, firstly making your way to the shoreline to grab a bite to eat at The Boathouse Yarmouth, offering stunning views of the water, before hiking through the Fort Victoria Country Park, or making your way to Yarmouth Pier, also brimming with shops and eateries. Travel south to discover Totland Pier, followed by a stroll along Alum Bay Pebble Beach, guiding you towards The Needles Landmark Attraction, where you can board the chairlift for cliff top views and beachside vistas. Explore the Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with your walking boots in tow, or reach some of the most popular attractions, dotted centrally across the county, including the Tapnell Farm Park, the magnificent Carisbrooke Castle, and Monkey Haven - Primate Rescue Centre, before returning home in time for the sunset. Enjoy a memorable escape at Forbes C1.
Yarmouth is a charming seaside town and the oldest settlement on the Isle of Wight. Its bustling harbour is a haven for all types of boats, and regular ferry service from the mainland to Lymington departs from its terminal. A visit to Henry viii's castle should not be missed, and Yarmouth's winding lanes are home to a charming assortment of shops and inns. Along the beach trail, you can enjoy fantastic walking and cycling (there is a shop where you can rent bikes). Why not go for a vigorous walk in Headon Warren or adjacent Tennyson Down? Colwell Bay, with its sandy beach and family-friendly services, is a short drive from Sandhard Beach.

Meaning as soon as we arrived, we had no choice but to go back out to a shop, which was extremely irritating. It certainly wasnât very welcoming!

Facilities in the property in the kitchen were brilliant, nice big dining table and comfortable sofas & beds. Bathrooms are slightly run down and cleanliness overall wasnât the best found lots of dust in areas (luckily it didnât affect the family member with respiratory issues). Had a couple of issues with the property whilst staying, contacted housekeeping and it was sorted as soon as available. On site laundry room was very handy, and not too expensive either. Only major downside is that there isnât much privacy with the property unless youâve the curtains shut. Other properties seemed to have blinds/net curtains to allow light in but still have privacy. Brilliant description from the owners as to how to find the property and key collection was easy too.
