Carmel

About

Carmel is set down a private lane on the south coast of the Isle of Wight just a stones throw from secluded Monks Bay. The property faces due south with seaviews from the cottage and the surrounding gardens. Carmel has been furnished in a modern style to compliment many of the original features, hand carved fireplaces, Gothic style windows and airy open vaulted ceilings. Cosy in the winter with the woodburner or refreshing in the summer with the garden doors open letting the summer breeze fill the room. 

Carmel has three elegantly furnished bedrooms, each with its own unique charm, and easily sleeping eight if required. Upstairs, 2 large bedrooms overlook the surrounding countryside with seaviews to the east and west. Vaulted ceilings and open beams compliment the sunny light mood of the rooms and hallway.

The lower gardens surrounding the property are a great place for children to explore and play in the wendy house. Numerous eating areas and terraces enable you to enjoy a spectacular seaview and absorb the sun from early in the morning well into the evening. Climb the paths behind the house to reveal further secluded terraces with panoramic sea views. 

Follow the short path down the cliff to Monks Bay, a beautiful sheltered sandy beach, safe for bathing. The offshore breakwater to the west is the perfect place to cast a fishing line out to sea. At low tide hundreds of rock-pools are exposed, home to many small fish, prawns and crabs. When the tide comes in float over the rocks with a mask and snorkel – you will be amazed at what you see.
