July 2024Great House on a Fantastic Island
This is a wonderful place to stay while in Freshwater or nearby on the island. The description provided by the owner is accurate and speaks for itself. I would add that grocery stores, cafe’s, coffee houses and pubs are just steps away from the front door, and the propiretors for all of them could not have been nicer and more welcoming. A short drive from the house is the Red Lion pub (next to a 1000 year old chruch). Like other pubs, it has a menu of dining options. Unlike others, this small, out of the way place, is Michelin recognized! The house is associatied with the George Hotel in Yarmouth, about 10 minutes away and a truly nice hotel on the waterfront. Nicole, who seems to run the show at the Hotel, is very pleasant, fun and helpful. She welcomed us at the hotel and secured a table on the water for drinks and snacks when we arrived before showing us to the house. There, she showed us around the large house, she provided all the information needed to enjoy our stay, including recomendations on places to visit and things to do on the island, and checked-in with us throughout. She was a true resource for our stay and certainly a plus for the hotel. The George Hotel provides a very fine place to dine or have breakfast. Nicole always made sure we had a table. In addition, the hotel has access to a boat charter for either a full or half day. We chartered for a half day, and the experience could not have been better. The captain was very informative and fun to be around. For my fellow americans who might not be familiar with the Isle of Wight, I cannot emphasize enough what a delightful island it is. The island is as you would imagine an English coastal place to be; beautiful coastlines, rolling hills and pastures, small towns and villages that have much to offer. This was my first trip and I knew nothing about it before booking (the House just seemed like a nice family adventure). I thought we might run out of things to do. I was wrong. We put in a full week and didn’t cover all we would have liked. The summer weather is consistantly in the 60’s to mid 70’s; a welcome break from the summer heat in Texas. If a trip to England is in your future and Freshwater House is available, grab it; you won’t regret going. It is fantastic!”
