Gurnard Simple

Large residential village near Cowes, which takes its name from the local name for 'guernet', a salt-water fish. The sea front is popular for bathing, albeit very stony. Pleasant walks west via the Marsh, the estuary of the Luck and Gurnard 'cliffs' to Thorness Bay.

Just a short walk along the esplanade from Cowes, is this splendid former W.B.Mew Langton house, situated within yards of the waters edge and offering a grandstand view of all the yacht racing, shipping movements and not to mention the odd power boat race. Recently renovated to a high standard, it now includes a function room upstairs and five spectacular letting rooms. Plenty of garden, to enjoy the spectacular sunsets, and relax on those balmy evenings, for which the Island is so well known. The Woodvale is ideal whether on business or pleasure offering stylish surroundings in a friendly relaxed atmosphere, and if you add to that, fine wines, a range of cask ale and an extensive menu of wholesome freshly cooked food, you’ll soon discover the Woodvale is an experience to savour.
