The relaxed and friendly Oaklands House has a heated pool, licensed bar, free Wi-Fi, air-conditioned en suite bedrooms and parking.
Scenic Brading Downs is a short (uphill) walk away, and fishing on the River Yar is a few metres away. The friendly village pub, The Yarbridge Inn, is just across the road.
The heated swimming pool is open most afternoons (June to September) until dusk. A light continental buffet-style breakfast is included in the rate. Minimum booking is for 2 nights. Rare red squirrels come to the garden to feed - so no pets allowed. Please note that Oaklands is adults only (over 18s).
