The Isle of Wight region

The Isle of Wight is home to some of the most diverse countryside in the UK, and what better way to unwind than to get out into the fresh air and explore?

Whether you prefer a leisurely stroll or something more energetic, you can discover historic farms, pretty lanes, thatched villages, coastal trails and woodlands. It's easy to find your way around, with over 500 miles of carefully maintained footpaths and signposts to follow.

Walking, cycling and bird watching are popular all year round and every May the Island hosts the UK's largest walking festival.

The Whitwell, Isle of Wight area

Whitwell is a small village located on the south of the Isle of Wight, approximately 3 miles north-west of Ventnor, the village's nearest town. In addition to this, it is about five minutes away from its neighbouring small villages of Godshill and Niton.

Whitwell's small size has led it to become a very close-knit community with a range of amenities including a garage, a 700 year old church, the oldest pub on the island which is serves excellent food and a post office. A trout farm is located towards Nettlecombe, with three lakes covering 1.5 acres (6,100 m2). The waters are well stocked with carp, roach and tench.[1]

Whitwell is named after the "White Well" in the village which was visited by many during medieval times on pilgrimages, and now well dressing occurs annually each summer.

Nearby Ventnor is a Victorian seaside town situated on the southern side of the Isle of Wight, right in the heart of the famed Undercliff, much of which is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty. Visitors to Ventnor will find a great variety of established local shops, restaurants, public houses and holiday accommodation. All provide a friendly service both to their local community and its visitors. Many serve local freshly caught fish and locally brewed ales.

Ferry services to the Island are available from Portsmouth to Fishbourne and Lymington to Yarmouth via the services of Wight Link. Southampton to East Cowes services are provided by Red Funnel and the cottage is around 30 minutes’ drive from each.

“Lovely cottage in excellent location” This is the perfect little holiday cottage, in an excellent location for local sights and villages. It was extremely easy to book through the letting agents and the lady who lived next door who looked after the holiday cottage was really helpful giving us a full tour of the cottage and its amenities/shops, pubs close by before nipping to the shop for milk for us !! We are a young family of four (becoming five shortly), the cottage has four bedrooms all well decorated and very comfortable, a bathroom with a shower, downstairs there is a living room and a dining area, then a kitchen which is fully equipped for you to make yourself at home, ( washing machine and dishwasher included) a small back yard outside which has a table and chairs for you to sit outside in the sunshine if you wish. All in all very quaint. The location of the cottage is excellent, the villages close by really are something out of a picture book with the thatched roofs on the cottages to the Victorian seaside town of Ventor, a place we would definately recomment to visit, our girls aged 9 and 6 loved the beach with its deckchairs and parasols as did we, Godshill was another favourite place of ours too, but there really is too many places to mention. ( Also every pub, restaurant we visited close by were so welcoming to families and geared up for tourists, we didnt have a bad meal anywhere, and they were very clean) We would highly recommend this cottage to any age although one point, anyone who is hard of walking or possiblly anybody who struggles with stairs might find the stairs in the cottage difficult as they are quite steep. We are planning on coming back to the Isle of Wight and we certainly wouldnt look past booking this cottage again.

“Comfortable cottage in lovely part of the island.” We filled this cottage with our six children (aged 3-18 years) for our two week holiday in August. The double rooms were comfortable with plenty of drawer and hanging space and although the singles were snug with the pull out beds, they did the job of fitting our whole family in. The cottage was very well equipped, if it wasn't there we didn't need it! It is also well situated to explore the island. We surfed at Compton Bay (with iowsurf.com), went crab fishing off Yarmouth pier, saw the fireworks at The Needles, visited Carisbrooke Castle, Osbourne House and Robin Hill and enjoyed sunny days on the beaches at Sandown and Compton, to name just a few of our activities. Eating out, the village pub in Whitwell is worth a visit and the extensive menu leaves you spoilt for choice. We also ate at the Spyglass Inn at Ventnor, often busy but lovely views across the sea. For a very simple, relaxed lunch try the Wellbread Bakery and Cafe on the High St in Cowes. A typical lunch would be chilli or soup with great thick slices of their artisan bread served with wooden trays of butter and large bowls of jam or marmalade too. We loved it! Having holidayed on the Isle of Wight for several years now, we thoroughly enjoy revisiting old favourites such as Osbourne House, but still find new things to see and do each time we go. 2 Primrose Cottages was a lovely base for our family holiday this year and we look forward to returning soon. Response: Many thanks for your review. We're so glad that you enjoyed both the cottage and our beautiful Island
