The Little Shell House

Type: Self-Catering

The Little Shell House overlooks St Helens village green giving views across Bembridge Harbour and Culver downland. It was for years, a tourist attraction.

Renovated for use as a modern, self catering holiday home it still retains its original mid-19th century charm.

The sitting room has a gas flame fire, colour television and carefully chosen, comfortable furniture which matches the character of the property. There is a dining area, separate kitchen and bathroom with both a bath and a shower. Facilities include cooker, microwave, fridge, mini-freezer, and washing machine. Upstairs there is one double bedroom, one twin and a second toilet. Additional sleeping accommodation is available on a double, sprung sofa bed downstairs.

At the rear of the property is a small, fully enclosed courtyard garden with garden furniture. All living rooms have electric wall heaters. Heating and electricity is included in the price. Duvets, pillows and blankets are provided, but you need to bring sheets, duvet covers, pillow cases, towels and tea towels. Bedding can be provided at £10 for the double bed, £8 for the singles. Towels can be provided at £5 per person. A travel cot and high chair are available.
