About this property

Characterful apartment in the wing of our family's listed stone built farmhouse

‘Tudor Lee’ offers an independent wing of our family's historic farmhouse, a retreat for 2 ( + child), warm in winter, cool in summer.
It has its own entrance through a large conservatory which has a dining table for 'semi outdoor' dining and relaxing. There is a well-equipped kitchen ( ceramic hob, oven, microwave, fridge freezer, toaster, kettle, cafetiere) linked to a dining room - with windows at 3 different levels! The washing machine/dryer is in the conservatory.
The L-shaped living room, has a sofa and armchair and an entertainment centre with TV/DVD. Stairs lead up from the flag-stoned entrance hall, entering the upstairs area through glazed oak frames. The large L-shaped bedroom has a 6ft zip linked bed, which may be used as two single divans. It also has a sofa bed and extra TV /DVD
The splendid bathroom has a large 'rain head' shower, corner bath with shower over, washbasin and loo.
Set in mature gardens, there is a patio with garden furniture and a barbecue, adjacent to Tudor Lee specifically for guests, with a small walled lawn also dedicated for guests' use, providing good outdoor living space in a 'green' space sheltered by a little copse. Some visitors have seen our shy red squirrels!
Guests are welcome to explore the rest of the grounds, orchards and vegetable garden but should take care with open bridges and be aware that the family uses the front lawns, vegetable garden and orchards.
We have been welcoming visitors to Tudor Lee since 2005; many have become our friends.


Tudor Lee is a mile and a half from Yarmouth, our local town, where Wightlink Ferries arrive from Lymington, after a crossing of about 35 minutes. For those not wanting to bring a car, there is an hourly bus service.
Yarmouth is located on the western side of the Island at the mouth of the Yar estuary. The historic little town has grown as a result of its natural harbour, guarded by Yarmouth Castle, which was built by Henry VIII in 1547 The Harbour attracts international yachts and motor cruisers, whose crews take advantage of the moorings to enjoy the lively range of shops, and places to eat and drink in the town. The annual 'Old Gaffers Festival' in June sees a fleet of historic gaff rigged boats arrive and the town celebrates with music, markets and entertainments in the Square.
The picturesque narrow streets and town square are lined by flower decked shops and pubs; restaurants range from Michelin star quality through family-friendly pubs to cafes with outside tables for celebrating fine weather late into the evening, many meals having an emphasis on local produce and freshly caught fish.
Boats leave the harbour for fishing trips in the Solent and off the Needles, but for those preferring to stay in touch with shore, the listed wooden pier is a great place to go fishing, whether it be a serious quest for bass, or crabbing with the children. Pleasure boats leave for Bournemouth and Poole, and in the later summer months, ‘The Waverley’, an old paddle steamer, makes trips round the Island. Not only is the Island beautiful when your feet are on land, seeing it from the sea adds another dimension to that beauty.

Whilst there is plenty to watch from a seat on the harbour wall, gentle strolls along the Green and Promenade afford views of yachts and Solent shipping.

For the more energetic, the former railway track,‘the causeway’, along the Yar estuary, provides a delightful walk - you may be lucky enough to see one of the Island’s native red squirrels, and birdwatchers delight in the many species of birds nesting and feeding on the River Yar. Following the old railway track will lead you towards Freshwater, and perhaps lunch in a pub or café before returning on the footpath on the other bank.

Yarmouth restaurants range from star quality through family-friendly pubs to cafes with outside tables for celebrating fine weather late into the evening, many meals having an emphasis on local produce and freshly caught fish and shellfish. A small supermarket and a delicatessen provide a good range of food, much of it locally sourced.

Delightful property
The house was very well equipped including surprisingly large bedroom and bathroom. Our hosts were close by but unobtrusive so if we had had problems they were easily contactable. As it happened we didn’t. A lovely place to stay

Lovely stay in nice part of the island
We enjoyed a lovely stay here with our not quite 18 month old. Beautiful setting and lovely location on this side of the island. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable for our stay. Jill was a great help in advance of our stay with information and booking the ferries for us. We had a lovely holiday and would stay here again.
