Osea Island

Osea is an exclusive private island enclosed by four miles of beaches and coastline. With an abundance of wildlife and rare birds, the island still maintains a special ambience best described as un-spoilt, and tranquil. Andrew Lloyd Webber recently featured the island as the backdrop for filming Superstar, the ITV television show with Jason Donovan, Mel C, Amanda Holden and of course Andrew Lloyd Webber. Osea’s tidal road was also featured in the film, Woman in Black, starring Daniel Radcliffe.

Osea has a large array of accommodation designed to make your stay a truly unique experience. From the luxurious 10 bedroom Manor House set a few steps from the beach, to a small hamlet of 14 beautifully appointed cottages in the village. The cottages evolved around the origional 17th Century Farm buildings which are clustered together at the centre of the Island, set 30 feet above sea level. The courtyard also houses six courtyard apartments. All accommodation is available to let on a weekly and short break basis.

We were recently featured in The Telegraph's "Enjoy England Trips" section. Click here to see the review.

It's not just the destination that is unique, the journey onto the island involves crossing a tidal road built by the Romans connecting Osea to the mainland.

The tidal road is just over one mile long and is accessible by car at low tide. Of course for the less adventurous or if you miss the low tide, there is a water taxi, which can hold up to six people and take you across to the island.

On Osea there are opportunities to either engage in a range of sporting and outdoor activities or simply enjoy the chance to just relax.
