Afton Thatch Lodge
The Causeway, Old Freshwater, Isle of Wight
Afton Thatch Lodge is a small, detached thatched cottage located at the head of the River Yar, which extends from Yarmouth Harbour, one of England’s most unspoilt seaside villages. In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Lodge has recently been restored to a high standard. Tasteful and yet understated, this lovely cottage features antiques and handmade curtains.
With river views on one side and open fields on the other, the Lodge is in a tranquil location and is within walking distance to the village of Old Freshwater with its pub, the Red Lion.
