Town: Bembridge is the largest settlement in England, and it is located on the Isle of Wight's most eastern tip. Bembridge used to be an island in its own right, consisting of a collection of wooden huts and farmhouses until the Victorian era. As a result, Bembridge is still somewhat isolated from the rest of the island, which adds to its attractiveness. Bembridge is one of the island's most affluent locations, with a surprisingly busy intertidal sheltered port that is always bustling with pleasure vessels and fishing boats, providing a steady flow of traffic to and from The Solent. Quiet beaches of sand and pebbles may be found within a short distance from the harbour, ideal for swimming, beachcombing, and crabbing, and kite surfing can be seen in strong winds.
Located in Bembridge, this lodge is in a rural area and by the sea. Shanklin Old Village and Isle of Wight Steam Railway are local landmarks, and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Bembridge Beach and Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Isle of Wight Zoo and Sandown Pier are also worth visiting. Discover the area's water adventures with fishing nearby, or enjoy the great outdoors with rock climbing, hiking, and cycling.

One of the Isle of Wight's most exceptional properties, Culver Down Manor is an elegant art-deco mansion overlooking Sandown Bay from a prime clifftop setting. Built in the 1920's, this building maintains glorious original features, including huge shimmering garden water features, statues and stain glass windows that frame the striking coastal vistas reaching out to Culver Cliff. As you step into the reception area you are instantly transported back in time, from the piano and ornamental period lampshades to the wooden panelling and even the old boot cleaner. The large entrance hall with grand staircase and beautiful stained glass windows is sure to impress guests upon entering the property. The living space offers an abundance of floor space, the magnificent 22 seater dining table and the grand lounge area are the perfect spaces for the whole group to gather and discuss the highlights of the day. Culver Down Manor can comfortably accommodate up to fourteen guests and five additional children across its six beautifully appointed bedrooms.On the ground floor is the first of the bedrooms, an accessible room, it is ideal for any guests who struggle with mobility and features two twin single beds and a fully-accessible en-suite wet room. Upstairs are the remaining bedrooms, three king rooms, a cosy double and a family room with a king-size double and two single beds. For those in larger groups, the Morning Room can be set up as a seventh bedroom and features two single daybeds, ideally suited to older children. Outside, the home is set within 3/4 of an acre of gardens and backs onto the coastal path with excellent sea views. The largest part of the garden is set behind the house and features a spectacular pond which dates back to the 1930's. The terrace comes complete with dining facilities and makes the perfect place to enjoy a spot of al fresco dining after an action-packed day spent exploring the Isle of Wight.
Culver Down Manor is located about a mile from the town of Shanklin, where the Isle of Wight railway terminates. We have ample parking for 6 cars, but you can also come on foot, catching the train from Waterloo, London to Portsmouth Harbour, getting the Cat over and then the Island Train (a 1930's Central Line tube train...honestly!). Get an inclusive ticket! The Isle of Wight is like going back to 1950's England, the pace is slower, and the pubs are wonderful. We have provided a large secure outhouse for devoted cyclists, although you can hire a bike locally very easily. There is a golf club about 5 miles away, but you might get distracted by the pubs on the way back. From the house, there are wonderful cliff top walks (or runs), and you are right above the Blue Flag beach (actually it is a lot of steps to get down, perfect for walking off the dinner). There are lots of cycle routes across the island. Of course there are many local attractions, but bring a book, sit in the sunroom and enjoy the 3/4 acre gardens and spectacular views over the bay. The whole of the Isle of Wight awaits you.

Probably the best view on the Island. Highcliff Cottage at Luccombe is the dream holiday retreat, secluded, tranquil with 180 degree sea views. Relax on the deck, listen to the bird song and breathe in the fresh air. Situated 100m above the shoreline between Shanklin and Ventnor, Highcliff Cottage is designed in the boathouse style with beautiful detailing inside and out. Includes exclusive use of a large garden. The famous Isle of Wight Coastal Path is at the front gate.
Highcliff Cottage sits adjacent to the 1870's built Highcliff House. The cottage is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Although a cliche, the 180 degree sea view is an ever changing spectacle. Whether it's the sun or moon reflecting off the sea, a storm thrashing up the waves hammering the shoreline or the myriad of passing yachts, cruise ships and other vessels, there is always something drawing your attention out to sea. Wake up early and watch a stunning sunrise, or in the evening have a glass of wine on the deck as the golden light of the setting sun bounces off the white chalk of Culver Cliff across Sandown Bay. The vibrant blues, greys, greens and turquoises of the sea are a mesmerising vista.
At night the lights of Shanklin and Sandown illuminate the darknesss and the Esplanade street lights mark out the arc of the bay. The flashing lights of the Nab Tower, which marks the entrance to the Solent, which all large ships steer by, flicker off shore, as do the twinkling lights of towns and navigation markers all along the English south coast, from the Witterings to Brighton. In winter, when the air is thin, the night lights of the mainland south coast are particularly bright and stunning. If you happen to be here during a full moon, seeing it rise up over the English Channel at night is an extraordinary sight. The horizon is curved, the moon is spherical and you realise you are standing on a planet floating around in a much larger universe.
The Coastal Path is right outside the front gate. Turn left and you have one of the most popular coastal walks on the Island from Shanklin to Ventnor, through the Landslip, ancient woodlands, and hidden narrow steps up a sheer rockface known as Devil's Chimney. Carry on for Blake's fish and chips at the quay at Ventnor, or head around to the charming Steephill Cove. If you want to make it a really full days walk then aim for St Catherines Lighthouse and get a taxi home.
Turn right outside the cottage and walk down the hill to the amazing Shanklin Chine with its waterfall and botanical gorge, Shanklin old town, or the beaches of Shanklin and Sandown. You can access the beach below the cottage by a spectacular set of steps that cut down the cliff face at the bottom of Luccombe Road. These steps will bring you out at the thatched roof Fisherman's Cottage pub located on the beach. At low tide you can walk south from the cliff steps to the rock ledges and sandy beach immediately below the cottage.
Shanklin high street is about a 15-20 minute walk away or 5 minute drive.
Located in Shanklin, this cabin is on the waterfront. Shanklin Theatre and Dinosaur Isle are cultural highlights, and some of the area's attractions include Pirates Cove - Shanklin and Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary. Sandown Pier and Isle of Wight Owl and Falconry Centre are also worth visiting. Be sure to check out the area's animals with activities such as game walks and birdwatching.
