Good Hotel Guide Review
Above the glistening ocean, Arielle and David Barratt’s clifftop Arts and Crafts house lies in gated seclusion at the end of a cul-de-sac; a coastal path leads down to Sandown Bay and the beach. For four years, the engaging owners, who live in a separate wing, painstakingly remodelled the interior, adding unusual furniture and modern-day essentials to existing features. Distinctive bedrooms are equipped with air-conditioning; thick towels, LED mirrors and old-style washstand basins in indulgent, modern bathrooms. Most of the bedrooms, the restful drawing room and a flowery terrace overlook the award-winning gardens and out to sea. The breakfast buffet, laid out in a bright, airy room, makes a satisfying start to the day’s activities.
