About the home

The Stable was built in the year 2000. The cottage comfortably accommodates 6 people + baby. It has wooden floors in the kitchen, hall and living room with carpets throughout the rest of the building. Full central heating in every room. The private secure garden provides space to sit, relax or play and is very popular with families. Free Wi-Fi, Travel Cot and High Chair available.

Gurnard village is ideally located being just a few minutes drive from the charming and characterful yachting town of Cowes, with its marinas, excellent shops, Yacht Clubs, pubs, restaurants etc. The walk from Gurnard to Cowes provides one of the most interesting maritime vistas in the UK and usually takes about 20 minutes, longer if you stop to watch the action on the water!

The Isle of Wight region

Gurnard is an uncommercial quiet seaside village with a shingle and sand beach, a promenade and 1930s beach huts. Located on the North of the Island, Gurnard Bay looks across the Solent towards the South West with lovely views to Yarmouth and beyond right across to the New Forest and back to Southampton water where one can watch cruise ships arriving and leaving. We do have the most fabulous sunsets.

A children's play area is on the green behind the gurnard beach huts the centre piece of which is a galleon ship and lots more equipment besides. Gurnard Sailing Club has a big membership of dingy sailors and temporary membership is available www.gurnardsc.org.uk English Heritage runs Osborne House at East Cowes and was Queen Victoria's home and is open to the public and well worth a visit. The famous Needles on the western tip of the island is managed by the National Trust and has wonderful walks and views from Tennyson Down.

“Beautiful, comfortable, well located cottage with excellent facilities” We arrived and there were plenty of "oooooo's and ahhhhhh's"! This is a stunning cottage, a perfect base for a stay on the Island. Facilities fantastic, rooms really quite large, lots of space. Great kitchen, perfect for lazy lunches and lots of chatting! Greeted by a 'welcome tray' which was a great touch after a long journey. Jan & Nick were great - just welcomed us and let us know where they were should we need anything, then left us to it. Perfect break - Thankyou.
