Our holiday home is a comfortably furnished chalet within
a small, peaceful and gated site, surrounded by trees, and overlooking
the delightful gardens beneath your front door. Just outside that
door you will have the rare opportunity to see gorgeous native
red squirrels, the Island is one of the few places they are still
surviving in the U.K.
There are many different reasons why people find this the
perfect haven, you will find many of them on following page links,
but briefly;
Is "Wight Heaven" ideal for
you?
Walkers and Ramblers are in paradise with
the unique coastal path, (60 miles of it!) directly outside the
gate; and there are hundreds of miles of footpaths, downs, and headlands
of breathtaking beauty to explore.
Cyclists enjoy the wonderful countryside, lanes
and villages to explore across the south and west wight. The hills
are a challenge, but every village has a delightful pub to recuperate
a while at!
Car owners wishing to explore the many delights,endless
seasonal events, resorts, and attractions of this lovely and lively
island; yet seeking a beautiful and peaceful base to return to each
day, this is it!
Safe and secure The chalet and car park is within a secure and
gated area, access is only possible with the automated gate code which
you will have. The owner of the freehold lives on site and keeps
a watchful eye things, so strangers and prowlers are not a problem here,
just tranquil gardens and prowling Red Squirrels!
Sun Lovers, the Island has an amazing sunshine
record, if its around, we will have it! Apples for example are
a full month earlier here than on the mainland.
Aeroplane phobics, airport delay detesters,
(plus all that long term parking cost and hastle!) , the pleasant
half hour ferry trip to this spot of heaven is a part of the
holiday relaxation.
Older Folk, (like us!), seeking a break from
the noise and chaos, welcome!
Younger Couples wanting to get away from
it all in beautiful natural surroundings.
Disabled access; from car park is a short,
slight, slope, then level paved concrete. A small step into
the property. (See pictures on next page and judge for yourself)
Writers, stressed executives, sit on the porch
and be inspired!
A neighbouring owner lives in a nearby Island town,
yet uses her chalet as a peaceful haven most of the year.
Yet for all of these, a friendly pub, (with
good food), a splendid local shop, (well stocked), excellent
butcher, chemist, even a doctors surgery, all are just a very short
walk away.
"Wight Heaven" is not for you if:-
You want holiday camp excitement, pools,
bars, arcades on yourdoorstep. Plenty of these around Sandown
and Shanklin.
You have children. Only chalet owners children
are allowed on the site, and it is rare to find even them here.
Children really will find it very boring and quiet. There are no
child facilities, not even a swing, the gardens are out of bounds
to them. Infants can be accomodated, but you will need to bring a
cot or basket.
You have a pet. Sorry the lease specifically
bans all pets.
every night
with boose, drugs and chaos. You will find your heaven in the north
around Ryde and Newport, not here.
We thought it would be nice to have a book where our guests could record
their comments on their holiday in Wight Heaven.

must be doing something right!
