The Ark is a lovely coastal cottage, situated next to the beach, sailing club and promenade. It is in the popular village of Gurnard, a very friendly and welcoming place and somewhere you'll want to come back to time after time. The Ark was renovated to a high standard a few years ago and is full of seaside charm with its coastal theme décor and wooden floors. It is a one bedroom property with en-suite bathroom. Patio doors, accessed from the bedroom, lead onto a large sunny decked area with garden furniture. There is an open planned living/dining and kitchen area with lovely sea views from the sofa, the perfect spot to spend many hours watching boats, the famous Gurnard sunsets and the ever changing seascape. The property has all the modern luxuries and conveniences you would expect from holiday accommodation and bedding and towels are provided. The Ark is close to cafes, pubs, shops and restaurants as well as within very easy reach (by foot and car) of Cowes, the Mecca of world sailing. If you are looking for a quaint but modern cottage, close to amenities yet within a peaceful setting then The Ark is for you. Many of The Ark's guests return each year - the best compliment I could hope for.
