The New Forest National Park is within easy reach and is home to free-roaming ponies and cattle as well as a unique and fragile landscape.

The property is advertised as having 'five balconies all with far reaching views across The Solent'. In fact there are only 3 balconies and none have a full sea view, because this is obscured by a large clump of trees directly opposite the property. Our party feel that 'Island View' is an optimistic name for the property!
