overlooks St Helens village green and has views south, out across picturesque Bembridge Harbour and distant Culver downland. It was, for many years, a major tourist attraction. Since then it has been renovated for use as a modern, self-catering holiday home whilst retaining its original mid-19th century charm and many of the shell designs which still delight young and old alike.

St Helens Village
The nine - acre green at St Helens is one of the largest in England. It now provides cricket and football pitches, a children's playground and seats. The varied old houses surrounding the green are all full of character - some of them date back to the 1600's.

Locality  

• The walk down to the award winning beach takes you along the old mill wall across the harbour, and on to the Duver. This is a wide area of grass and sand dunes with many rare flowers, which stretches from the sea all along the north bank of Bembridge harbour. The beach is completely unspoilt, and leads on to the beautiful National Trust-owned Priory Bay, with its wooded slopes leading down to a sweeping stretch of sand, where low tide reveals rock pools and shallow lagoons. You can return to the village along paths which wind up through the woods. If you prefer to take your car, it is just a 2 minute drive to the beach.
• There are many well signposted footpaths and bridleways which lead from the village. The varied geography offers excellent walking, cycling, bird watching, fishing and boating.
• There is a village pub, post office and general shop, and several restaurants.
• The village is on a bus route.
• Within 10 minutes drive is a large Tesco supermarket.

The house is available from 3pm on Saturday to 10.30am the following Saturday. From October to Easter short stays can be arranged at a cost of £108 for a minimum of 3 nights.
