The Details
Steeped in history and perfectly placed for exploring the Island’s tranquil west side, Landguard is a Grade II listed gem set right in the centre of Yarmouth. With its striking black and white facade and a front-row position opposite the town’s historic church, this elegant home offers a wonderfully restful base after days spent sailing, beachcombing or wandering along the nearby estuary paths. Step inside and you’re greeted by spaces that balance period character with calming contemporary style, creating a stay that feels both cosy and quietly luxurious.
Open the solid Georgian door and settle into the welcoming lounge, where soft lighting, comfortable seating and a gas fire create an inviting nook for lazy mornings or slow evenings. Across the hall, the formal dining room elevates simple suppers into something special with seating for eight and its own ensuite double room just beside it. The designer kitchen blends good looks with practicality, offering modern appliances, a walk-in pantry and a Nespresso machine for smooth starts to the day. Whether you’re prepping casual breakfasts or plotting a seafood feast, it’s a joy to cook in.
From the kitchen, step out into the beautifully kept walled garden. With its paved terrace, climbing greenery and glimpses of Yarmouth’s chimney tops and church spires, it’s an idyllic spot for alfresco dinners or a quiet morning coffee. Upstairs, the second floor offers an ensuite double, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom, along with an extra lounge area complete with TV and optional sofa bed. It’s a versatile setup that suits families, friends and multi-generation groups, sleeping up to ten guests when needed.
Staying at Landguard means having Yarmouth’s charms right on your doorstep. Wander its harbour, explore independent shops and cafés or stroll beside the River Yar where the light dances over the water. The beaches of Colwell Bay, Freshwater Bay and Compton are all close by, offering everything from gentle swimming and paddleboarding to rugged surf and dramatic coastal scenery. Head west to Freshwater for kayaking and coasteering adventures, or spend a day walking the spectacular coastal path around the Needles. Whether you want relaxation, exploration or a taste of island life, West Wight serves it all with ease.
