Wimbledon Lodge is a modern and cosy self-contained apartment with its own private and double gated garden and entrance. The garden is a great little sun trap with a lovely sitting-out area. The property itself is compact but very comfortable with a double bed in the main bedroom and double sofa bed in the living room. The kitchen is equipped with combi oven and fridge. In the bathroom you will find a shower over the bath. This is an ideal base for couples or friends looking for a getaway on the Hampshire’s south coast. The long and beautiful stretch of shingle is enough to satisfy a sun-filled day or take to the water and try some water sports. The long beach promenade is perfect for walking, cycling or skating with views over to the Isle of Wight.
