About this property
Fossils Reach: Comfy, dog friendly, and with superfast broadband
In a cliff top location in the midst of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and with a sea view, you can access to both the local downs and our beaches. Fossils Reach is lovely for family holidays, relaxed walking holidays, especially with a dog, or for exploring our Bay and the Isle of Wight.

About the host
Hosted by Ian Barker
Ian & Diane are semi-retired and live on the Island. Ian is from Shanklin originally and grew up in a guest house there in the sixties and seventies. Providing holiday accommodation now gives the same feelings as Ian had then; it's great to provide a holiday for our guests and receive thanks and recommendations for doing so.
Why they chose this property
The location here is outstanding; we have a quiet part of the holiday park, with views out to sea, and private outdoor space to enjoy them. It's lovely.
What makes this property unique
The location and outlook of our two chalets is wonderful, we are very lucky to be able to offer these views, this quiet location, and we've provided everything you might need, and clean, comfortable accommodation. There's superfast broadband too. Brilliant!
