About the home

The Cowes Boat House,Perfect Holiday Home/Crew House in excellent location,and will provide ample space for up to eight holiday makers for an ideal week or weekend away. It is very close to the centre of Cowes, for easy access and lots of places to choose from for eating out, and is virtually on the level with the marinas and attractions, rather than up one of the many hills Cowes is infamous for!

The house is now taking bookings for 2012.The latest availability is online on this site, and can be accessed on the "Availability" button above, along with our tariff details. The house also has cable TV as well as wireless broadband access, at no extra charge.

A rare bonus is that just across the road is a convenient and reasonably priced local shop; it is open seven days a week, and can supply all of the households day-to-day requirements to ensure a supermarket-free holiday (no commercial connection, honest!).

The master bedroom features twin beds which convert to a double and also has a day/bed couch that converts to two further single beds; the second bedroom has twin single beds or double bed layout, and the third bedroom is set for 2 to share in 3' wide bunks. We configure the house to your needs before you arrive. All of these rooms are on the first floor.

Parking is usually available nearby on public streets, as the property has no off-road parking.

The Isle of Wight region

The Isle of Wight is a great place to visit. In some ways, time has stood still, with Osborne House, Carisbrooke Castle and many other timeless attractions. On the other hand, it's where the worlds yachtsmen come to compete against the very best, while pitting themselves against the complex tides and winds of the Solent (not forgetting to party hard and long afterwards!) for some of the top sailing cups in the world.

However, the Isle of Wight is not just about sailing. The chance to walk on high cliffs, on your own, with just a storm toss'd sea before you, may make the visit worth while for you. The wealth of really good quality restaurants and convivial pubs may also make you really feel at home. This is a destination for any time of year, be it a family break, or an oasis of peace. The Cowes Boat House can give you all of this.

The Cowes / West Cowes area

Cowes is a wonderful town, and has many moods. Cowes Week, Little Britain and the Red Funnel event at Easter are the headline events, though there are many other sailing regattas from March to September each year.

But Cowes is more than that. It is very much the live connection to the whole island, a base from which the whole of the island can be explored and enjoyed, from Ventnor and St Catherines Point, to Bembridge, to the Needles. The Island is a place of contrast. Enjoy it all from your central base in Cowes!

Cowes itself has a wide range of cafes, pubs and restaurants, to suit every taste and budget. There are excellent food and hostelry outlets, from traditional pubs to Indian, Chinese and Italian, or even take a river taxi in the summer to the Folly Inn on the Medina River near Whippingham, for a great night out, for possibly the best steaks on the IoW!
