Children are free to run in the garden, perhaps after a day on the beach, whilst the adults can relax and enjoy tea.

Totland is close to the attractions of Alum Bay and The Needles, Yarmouth etc but is slightly off track and not included in the main tourist circuits. The beach has pebbles at one end and rock pools at the other with a large sandy area in between that is shallow for a way out. There is also a seaside walkway that runs from Totland to Colwell Bay. The Waterfront bar and Restaurant at Totland is just 5 mins walk away where you can sit and enjoy and meal/drink at the waters edge (a beautiful place to enjoy the sevening unset). Alternatively you can walk along the seafront walkway around to Colwell Bay (10-15mins walk) and enjoy a drink/meal at The Hut Restaurant, again at the waters edge. 'Cliffway' is located close to the Turf Walk which marks the start of the 'Headen Down Walk', listed by the National Trust as one of 9 spectacular 'Walks with a Wow Factor'. The walk passes over Headon Warren, and by Alum Bay and the Needles and over Tennyson Down before returning to Totland. There are other coastal footpaths that pass Totland. Refreshments on route are available at Alum Bay, the Needles, Highdown pub and at the Waterfront Restaurant at Totland Bay.
