Overview
Description
Rofford Lodge is an ideal holiday retreat, set amongst fir trees with lovely sunny enclosed garden, but just a 10 minute stroll into Yarmouth. The bright spacious open plan living area, good sized bedrooms, and three bathrooms make this lovely cottage ideal for families to holiday together. The pretty rear garden is an ideal place to sit and relax after exploring the beautiful coastline of the West Wight. Also lovely views and evening sun in the front garden.
Just minutes from the cottage is the sea promenade, with spectacular views across the Solent and mainland beyond. Across the road is a footpath that will lead you to the cycle way to Yarmouth and Freshwater which is along the route of the former railway line, this follows The Yar Estuary and river, which attracts walkers and bird watchers alike, and also provides a lovely walk on a summer evening.
Henry VIII built Yarmouth Castle as coastal defence and the Town Hall rebuilt in 1764 stands in the Square once used as a meat market until 1888. St.James Church (c1614) contains a fine white marble statue of Sir Robert Holmes, Governor of the Island in the late part of the 17th century.
Being so conveniently located, those seeking peace and quiet with miles of coastline and countryside to enjoy, Yarmouth is an ideal all year round resort. With the Yarmouth to Lymington car and passenger ferry docking in the harbour, holidaying with or without a car is easy. Places of interest and outstanding natural beauty include The Needles, Alum Bay with its coloured sands, chair lift and Pleasure Park, and Tennyson Down.

Location:
Yarmouth Town
Yarmouth town is located on the North-West of the Isle of Wight, and acts as one of the gateways to the Island with one of the main ferry services operating from its harbour.
The historic port town sits at the mouth of the River Yar and contains some of the oldest architecture on the Isle of Wight, including a 16th Century castle.
Tapnell Farm Park is the perfect place to enjoy some family time, and is perfect to visit in all weathers. Meet the wallabies, visit the play barn and enjoy spending time with the animals in the farmyard barn.
The harbour at Yarmouth is always very busy with both ferries and smaller boats, and the town itself offers a good variety of things to do for visitors.
The history of the town is very evident as you walk round and a trip along the Grade 2 listed pier is highly recommended for views across The Solent, and is also known locally for being a great spot for fishing.
Yarmouth Castle, which is tucked away to the side of the ferry dock, is also a great place for sea views and family picnics during the warmer months.
Other popular pastimes are walks and exploring in the local area with two “Sites of Special Scientific Interest” nearby, the estuary of the River Yar and Bouldnor and Hamstead to the East of the town.
There is a road bridge over the river estuary which heads out of the town, and a short distance along is Fort Victoria Country Park, a Victorian gun battery which now houses a number of local attractions.
It is also set in a beautiful country park, with some spectacular coastline, making it another good spot to explore.
There are a number of pubs and restaurants in Yarmouth if you are looking for somewhere to eat.
There is also a licenced cafe at the foot of Yarmouth pier which is open all year round serving a range of food and refreshments, including locally sourced Minghella Ice Cream.
There is also a good range of other eateries a short distance from the town in other parts of West Wight.
The Yarmouth Gaffers Festival is one of the longest running events on the Isle of Wight.
Just to the east of Yarmouth the Rhythmtree World Music Festival takes place at Shalfleet.
Rhythmtree is quickly establishing itself as one of the best new music festivals in the UK and attracts artists from all over the globe.
