Driftwood Heart, located near the beach & open countryside.

Welcome to Driftwood Heart.

The main bedroom has been redecorated for 2024. We have also had new wired in smoke detectors and emergency lighting installed for your added safety.

Car Ferry discounts are available, please inquire.

Wake up to the fresh sea air and the sound of tranquility on the Isle of Wight.
Driftwood Heart is situated on the coast in the Linstone Chine Holiday Village, Freshwater and it benefits from being only 5 minutes walk to the beach. With sea and country views it is an excellent base to visit the Islands' many attractions.
Please note in April 2023 new steps down to the beach have been installed to make access even easier.
In the holiday village there is a very large grassed area which is suitable for children and adults to play most outdoor games, tennis, badminton, football etc. There is also pitch and putt golf, mini golf and an enclosed outdoor children's play area.

Driftwood Heart Bungalow itself has been furnished to give a coastal atmosphere. It has its own Fibre unlimited Broadband with WIFI which is free for our guests to use. In the lounge you will also find a smart Freeview TV complete with DVD player and a selection of DVD's.
We have put in a retro style bluetooth audio system to stream music to and for a bit of fun we have included a few 45rpm records for you to play on the record deck.
The bathroom has recently been totally refurbished in a white modern suit including a bath that has a fixed shower over it with a glass shower screen. There is also a heated towel rail and a two pin saver/ toothbrush charging electric socket.
The rooms are all tastefully and comfortably furnished and heated by modern electric radiators, with the bedrooms having white wood furniture and coastal wall coverings. The beds have memory foam topped mattresses to provide a comfortable nights sleep so you can wake up refreshed and enjoy your holiday.
In the kitchen you will find all the essentials needed such as microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator with icebox, gas cooker with double oven and grill, electric kettle, toaster, a Tassimo coffee machine to make a perfect cup of coffee and not forgetting the Kew Gardens tea set for those of us who love a cup of tea and a piece of cake.
Why not dine alfresco! Driftwood Heart Bungalow has its own patio area and picnic bench Just outside the front entrance of the Bungalow. Here you can take in the coastal atmosphere and fresh air while you eat and enjoy your favourite drink.

Getting around.
The best way to get around and see the Isle of Wight is by car. If you don't want to go by car then there is a bus service. The Isle of Wight bus service is called “Southern Vectis, the island buses”. You can download their App which is very useful. The nearest bus stop is at the beginning of Monks Lane where it meets Colwell Road. The busses that stop there are the "Island Coaster" or the "Needles Breezer". These buses go to most of the islands’ main coastal attractions.
The other main route runs to Newport and interlinks with other internal routes around the island is the number 7 Bus. The nearest bus stop for this route is either Brambles Corner or adjacent to Heathfield Close.

The local town of Freshwater is just a few minutes drive away where you can purchase all your provisions for your holiday stay and stock up with those holiday treats. There is also a new Tesco superstore in Freshwater where you will find the local Post office.
We are very fortunate that the Isle of Wight Coastal Path runs along the coast by Brambles Chine Holiday Village. This path runs up to Fort Victoria Country Park where there are woodland walks and trails. You will also find the remains of Fort Victoria there that now house an Archaeological Discovery Centre, a Planetarium, a Reptile House, Model Railway and the Cafe Verdi.
If you feel energetic then you can continue along the coastal path until you reach the Historic Port of Yarmouth. This port has a number of pubs and restaurants as well as boasting some of the islands oldest architecture including a 16th century castle.
