Property information

Dickens – is a 1-bedroom ground floor apartment sleeping 2 people in an en-suite double bedroom. There is an open plan living/kitchen and dining area, providing a sociable environment. External steps lead up to this purpose-built ground floor one bedroom apartment which is located on the banks of Wootton Creek, a short drive from the Village of Wootton Bridge situated on the north coast of the Isle of Wight, midway between the busy towns of Newport and Ryde. The location of this accommodation is perfect for exploring the Island.

Neighbourhood information

The lovely Wootton Creek and Millpond provides a natural setting to the village, the Creek being popular with yachtsmen and boaters. The Millpond is home to herons, egrets and kingfishers, with the surrounding countryside having red squirrels, foxes, badgers and dormice. The village has a mixture of modern and Victorian buildings including the 11th century Parish Church of St. Edmunds, and The Sloop Inn in Mill Square. Also of interest is the Isle of Wight Steam Railway with its Station and connections to Havenstreet. The Butterfly and Fountain World which is part of Medina Garden Centre is situated just outside the village. For the walkers and ramblers there are many walks both within and around the village, including our own Heritage Trail. Also of interest is Firestone Copse with picnic sites and walks, with views across the Millpond. Quarr Abbey, Osborne House and St. Mildred’s Church, Whippingham are nearby. Ryde Town Ryde is the largest town on the Isle of Wight, and with its prominent position along the seafront and hovercraft and passenger ferry links it is little wonder it is often referred to as “The Gateway to the Island”. In addition to an expanse of sandy beaches which stretch right along the town to Appley, Ryde has a great selection of boutique shops, museums and galleries for you to visit along with lots of other things to see and do along its esplanade. Ryde offers a great variety of things to do which will interest all ages, not least of which are the hovercraft and catamaran ferry from which you can travel to and from the mainland. Hovertravel are the world’s oldest hovercraft operator and operate the last remaining hovercraft passenger service in Britain, whereas a trip on the Wightlink catamaran service will take you down Ryde’s recently restored early 19th century pier, which carries both vehicle traffic and train services. Head along Ryde esplanade and you will encounter a number of great places for family...
