CHINE COTTAGE - 136 Brambles Chine

Escape from the pressures of mainland life to our unique self-catering holiday village, situated along a narrow country lane in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the picturesque west coast of the Isle of Wight. It serves as a great base to explore all the island has to offer and is ideal for walkers, cyclists and families alike. 'Beware', once on the ferry you may never go back to your old life because its just like coming home. Even in peak season there are no coaches on the quiet roads, they call it The Garden Isle for good reason, and we are now officially a Biospere Reserve, and renowned for our Dark Skies to watch the stars. Sunsets and the large sky are spectacular from all bungalows.

Linstone Chine Holiday village is managed co-operatively by an elected commitee of bungalow owners. Some bungalows are second homes, while others offer affordable holiday lets to individuals, couples, families, and groups of friends. Brambles Chine Holidays offer five self-catering holiday cottages for hire. Each cottage combines modern facilities with traditional seaside holiday to provide comfortable flexible accommodation.

BAYVIEW (117B) and SEAVIEW (118) are two doors away from each other, in the same back row within the flat Brambles Chine section, making them ideal for two families holidaying together, with uninterrupted views across the playing field to the sea. 116 is seperately owned, and together with CHINE COTTAGE (136) form part of a tight-knit group, next to the same large playing field by the sea, allowing children to play close by while you relax in the sun.

VALLEY VIEW is located in the seperate CLIFF END section of the holiday village, high on a hill with unobstructed views of the downs, plus sea views from left to the Needles, right to Yarmouth bay, and Hurst Castle from the bedrooms. PLEASE NOTE: There is an unfenced gently sloping wooded sea front behind VALLEY VIEW at the rear, making this more suitable for families with older children, and couples.
 

All beds are fully made up when you arrive and laundered towels are provided. 

In the school holidays Linstone Chine Holiday village is a great place for children to make new friends, while on the playing field in full view of their parents, and without the danger of meeting cars. Many parents find their children are gone all day, and arrive back only when hungry.

Out of season the site becomes a quiet and peaceful spot, ideal for walkers, bird watchers. Kite surfers and hang glider enthusiasts find it an ideal place to stay as it's only a few minutes drive away from Compton downs and the surfing beach. Motor cycle, scooter, and sports car groups often arrange rallies to parade around the island. Chase the boats each June in the 'Round the Island Yacht Race' as they pass our site. Out come the spinnakers at the Needles, so you can take great action photographs as they tack into Compton bay. Power boat racing and`Cowes week add highlights to watch, often with spectacular displays from the Red Arrows, while boating interest continues throughout the year.

Anyone interested in fossils and dinosaur bones will find uninterrupted access to our Jurassic coast line. Children must be warned however about the cliff edge at Brambles, which is unfenced by the golf course. The cliff is not very high and made of crumbling clay. As a Site of Special Scientific Interest it is allowed to erode naturally to allow the bones of dinosaurs and ammonites to appear. There are a couple of patches of blue slipper clay in the cliffs by Fort Albert, which must be avoided if it has been very wet, but these are problems associated with any natural beach.
