From the owner

'Fossils Reach' is situated on a quiet part of the holiday park. It's not overlooked, and has a grassed area to the front with sea glimpses viewed through the trees. Local wildlife includes rabbits, foxes, and the occasional red squirrel! Bird watching friends tell of a variety of species here, too. We provide free superfast broadband, and will accommodate up to 2 dogs (by negotiation).

'Fossils Reach' is less than 100 metres from the coastal path that leads down to the massive sandy beach, completely unspoiled, and fronting the fossil filled cliffs. There are even dinosaur trace fossils to be found in the sand! This beach is dog friendly all year round and an excellent spot for budding palaeontologists!

We provide all linens, towels, and throws that you might need, and there will be tea, coffee, milk, sugar, and biscuits, for your arrival.

The beds are made up ready for your arrival with fresh duvets, pillow cases and linen. Extra throws are provided too.

'Fossils Reach' is a brick built, double glazed, contemporary furnished holiday chalet .The open plan lounge/kitchen/diner is furnished with a two seater sofa, a two seater sofa bed, a dining table with four chairs.

The fitted kitchen has a full size cooker, fridge, microwave oven, and is fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The modern tiled bathroom has an electric shower and the chalet is fitted with electric radiators.

Bedroom 1 has a full size double bed with memory foam mattress and pillows.

Bedroom 2 has twin bunk beds with memory foam mattress toppers and pillows.

We can also provide a travel cot, high chair, baby bath, and a baby gate on request.

The chalet will comfortably fit 4 people and a 5th can be accommodated on a sofa bed (on request). We also have a second chalet, "Fossils Retreat" that is immediately next door, and that caters for up to 4 guests so a larger party can all stay with us.

Dogs are welcome by prior arrangement.

Although there are no facilities on the holiday park, and it is just a short walk to the lovely seaside town of Sandown with all the amenities and facilities that you may need.

Fossils Reach is an ideal base to explore the Island either by car or public transport. There is a bus stop with a regular service which is just outside the park entrance.

It is also an ideal base for a walking or cycling holiday, with miles of Island off road footpaths, cycle paths and bridleways.

Interaction with guest

A very warm welcome to Fossils Reach! We love the outdoor life and being surrounded by nature, and trust that a holiday here will inspire you too. The Barkers aim to provide a home from home for you.

We look forward to welcoming you to Fossils Reach, and as we live in nearby Godshill, we will be available to help and advise during your stay.
