Peacehaven

Shalfleet sits between Yarmouth and Newport, with Newtown Creek National Nature Reserve practically on the doorstep. This three-bedroom house suits families or groups of friends wanting a base on the Isle of Wight, with sleeping for six across a king, a double and bunk beds. There's one bathroom with a bath and shower, and the essentials—heating, linen, towels and superfast wifi—are covered.

The ground floor opens from a living room with a 55-inch television and games console into a kitchen-diner that flows onto the enclosed garden through French doors. You can cook properly here, with a full oven and hob, and the garden has a deck, table and chairs, plus a gas barbecue for eating outside. There's also a utility room with a freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. Upstairs, each bedroom has a radio and Bluetooth speaker. Private parking fits two cars on the drive, with additional space on the road outside.

The enclosed garden is designed for children to play safely, and board games are stored under the stairs for wet days indoors. A travel cot and highchair are available if needed. No smoking throughout the property.
