Watch a barn owl hunting at dusk as you enjoy supper on the veranda, play cricket or rounders on the grass, relax by the log stove in winter after a day visiting historic Osborne or Carisbrooke Castle or walking the coastal path.

Raptors such as kestrels, sparrow hawks and buzzards frequent the fields and may be seen daily from the house. Herons and egrets fly past; green and spotted woodpeckers breed in the trees on the land .....as do lapwings, pheasants, partridge and a myriad of common small birds.
There is a good population of hares in the fields - and the occasional red squirrel.

Wonderful house, wonderful stay, wonderful owners
The house is a great size with all the amenities needed, really appreciated towels being available. We were a group of 9 and there was plenty of room. The outside space is plentiful with garden furniture, the grounds really are beautiful. There is a bus stop a short walk from the house, with buses going to Newport and others. A short drive from Yarmouth. The family run business is clear throughout, the owners went above and beyond for our group and I can’t thank them enough, kindness really shone through. I would recommend in a heartbeat, thank you Jill and family for a great stay at your wonderful property.

Belated celebration.
We enjoyed a weekend with our family as my belated birthday celebrations. We found Orchard Lee to be perfect. It’s a very peaceful location but just two miles from Yarmouth. The house is very comfortable and has everything you need. Jill was very helpful in recommending good shops and places to eat. Would not hesitate to stay there again when visiting the Isle of Wight.
