Description : |
Afton Thatch Lodge is small, detached, thatched cottage set in the grounds of Afton Thatch, a larger cottage originally built in 1697. It is accessed through a shared drive, yet seperated by hedging. It has its own garden, reached through three french windows facing east towards the downs and the sunrise.
The Lodge offers accommodation for a couple and children or guests. The master bedroom on the first floor has views over the downs and estuary plus an ensuite bathroom with deep double ended roll top bath. On the ground floor is the open plan kitchen and living room with two "over and under" occasional day beds which can sleep four more.
The cottage has river views on one side and open fields on the other. It is in a tranquil location but within easy walking distance to the village of Old Freshwater, with its pub, The Red Lion, as well as the larger village of Freshwater with its food market.
From the cottage one can walk to Afton and Tennyson downs. Compton Bay, a beautiful National Trust beach, is a short drive or bicycle ride away.
