About the park
Our idyllic family holiday park is situated within 14 acres of lush
secluded grounds, surrounded by beautiful open countryside. We are located in
the valley of the Stenbury and St Martin’s Downs, which is a designated area of
outstanding nature beauty, an ideal spot for bird watching and horse riding. For
walkers and cyclists, there are also an excellent network of footpaths and cycle
paths, which can we accessed within minutes.
Alternatively, if you prefer relaxing on the beach, we are
only a short car journey to the famous coves and beaches of Ventnor, where you
can explore the fascinating Victorian architecture and it botanical gardens –
which due to the resort’s aspect of a steep, south-facing cliff it has earned
the reputation as being England’s Madeira, you can also enjoy sunbathing,
swimming, sailing, windsurfing and hang-gliding. The villages of Sandown and
Shanklin are only 10 minutes away by car and the quaint village of Godshill less
than 5 minutes away. There is also an extensive network of footpaths and
cycleways which can be accessed within minutes from the park.
For the explorer, you can travel around the coast by car, or
use the islands’ excellent transport links, viewing breathtaking scenery, where
you will also find a haven of outdoor activities, local crafts, tea rooms and
attractions.
