Whether you enjoy magnificent cliff-top walks, visiting castles and stately homes, exhilarating water sports, or simply relaxing by the sea, this stylishly refurbished Victorian cottage provides a very comfortable home from home.

Through the gate at the front of the cottage, guests can walk straight onto a network of woodland coastal paths that lead to spectacular views over the Solent, to sandy beaches, historical monuments and some great pubs and restaurants.

The Isle of Wight region

Popular since Victorian times as a holiday resort, the Isle of Wight is known for its outstanding natural beauty and for its world-famous sailing based in Cowes.

The island has a rich history including its own brief status as a nominally independent kingdom in the fifteenth century. It was home to the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson, and Queen Victoria built her much loved summer residence and final home Osborne House at East Cowes.

The island's maritime and industrial history encompasses boat building, sail making, the manufacture of flying boats, the world's first hovercraft and the testing and development of Britain's space rockets. It is home to the Isle of Wight International Jazz Festival, Bestival and the recently-revived Isle of Wight Festival, which, in 1970, was one of the largest rock music events ever held. The island has some exceptional wildlife and is also one of the richest fossil locations for dinosaurs in Europe.

The Yarmouth, Isle of Wight / Fort Victoria area

Yarmouth, a very pretty harbour town, 10-15 minutes walk along the seafront. Yarmouth is the smallest town in the UK, and also the oldest town on the Island. Yarmouth Castle, a stone artillery fortress built for Henry VIII in the mid 16th century.

Blackgang Chine and Robin Hill. Two great adventure parks for children. Robin Hill is the venue for Bestival in September.

The Needles Battery. Overlooking the Needles, one of the most rescognisable coastal features in England, the battery was built in the latter part of the 19th century to defend the Solent against France. Also the testing site for the Black Knight and Black Arrow, Britains' first space rocket.

Appledurcombe House. Kids can learn falconry at the Owl and Falconry Centre.

Carisbrooke Castle. Famous as the castle where Charles I was imprisoned before his execution.

Osbourne House. The summer home of Queen Victoria, and the place where she died

Brading Roman Villa. Fascinating excavations of a Roman villa. Great for kids, who get to dress up as Romans as they wander round the ruins.

Dimbola Lodge. The Freshwater home of Julia Margaret Cameron, the famous Victorian portrait photographer. The house is now a museum with permanent exhibitions of Cameron's work and photography of the Isle of Wight pop festival.

Fort Victoria. Home to a marine aquarium, model railway, underwater archaeology, planetarium

“Can't say it in one sentence” Its pretty good. Cosy stay for us but didnt do much outdoors as it rained most of the time. Open fire made up for it though!

“Wonderful place to relax and unwind” Spotted the cottage from the ferry on the crossing from Lymington (which was so easy). We had a car so only took 10 minutes to get there but it would have been possible to walk from the ferry if you were fit. Very welcoming with an unexpected gift of wine, local apple juice and shortbread that set the tone for the rest of the stay. Should not miss Osborne House if staying on the island. Nowhere too far to get to see - a little step back to an old fashioned British holiday location but with better food! New Inn in Shalfleet has wonderful fresh fish and a fabulous cream tea at Warren Farm was perfect. Take your slippers and relax at the cottage in the evening watching the boats on the water.

“An excellent find, superb accommodation and location, will definitely be back!” This cottage is tucked away, but we found it easily because of the detailed directions provided. The facilities were very good and the views were excellent. It's nicely placed for walkers, being right on the costal path and great views can be had of Hurst Castle and the Needles a 15 minute stroll away, with Yarmouth being a similar walk in the opposite direction. We had a really great time, even the showers in the latter half of our week did not spoil our enjoyment.

10 Jul 2011

“Easter week away” A lovely welcoming cottage that had all the comforts of home with a fabulous setting. A perfect place to spend a week away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Loved it.

“A classic british holiday break” Myself, my wife and our 6-year old Springer Spaniel had a wonderful break here. Lovely cosy cottage, great sea location, and a short walk into Yarmouth town. We recommend this property without reservation

“Practically perfect in every way!” This is a great property if you have small children and don't wish to have to use the car every day. We visited the beach daily - a 2 mins walk from the front door. The coastal path is outside the back door and if you choose, you can walk for miles. We also walked to Yarmouth, which takes about 15 mins. The property is light and airy, very clean, well organised and has all the amenities and facilities you require. There are a few internal steps on the ground floor, they are easily manageable but be aware if you have limited mobility or crawling children! The second bedroom is fairly small, with two single beds, but again easily manageable. The whole property is very tastefully furnished and comfortable. This is a very peaceful location with lovely neighbours. We did the majority of our shopping before we left the mainland, so I can't comment on the shops! Petrol IS expensive, so if you're travelling over by ferry, it's definitely advisable to fill up first. There are lots of great attractions around the Island and everywhere seems to be under an hours drive away. We loved it and are already planning our next trip back!
