About the home

Charming Coastguard cottage situated at Fort Victoria Country Park near Yarmouth and Freshwater on the picturesque West coast of the Isle of Wight. stunning sea views across the Solent. The recently refurbished seaside cottage offers an excellent base for a self catering holiday with its easy access to the coastal path at the rear of the property and the local beaches at the front of the property.

The Coastguard cottage and its location have to be experienced to be believed. Set in a quiet and peacful location at Fort Victoria. Wake up to magnificent views across the Solent, and in the evening admire the beautiful sunsets over Hurst Point. The country park setting around the cottage offers a myriad of short walks through woodland paths. Take a walk along the sea front to Yarmouth, or stop at the harbour and catch the water taxi. For the more adventurous, continue the walk at the front of the property, along the coastal path to Totland Bay, the famous Alum bay and the Needles, and along to Tennyson Down.

The Isle of Wight has something for everyone...... all year round. walking, cycling, water sports,horse riding, and lots of entertainment for children, whatever the weather. The West Wight has some excellent beaches and stunning vistas. Excellent restaurants can be found to suit all tastes.

Built in 1850's, the coastguard cottages were originally designed to house officers stationed at Fort Victoria. The external walls are 15" thick, and were designed to withstand the vibrations from the cannons located at the fort. The maritime museum at Fort Victoria and the Needles battery at Alum Bay have lots of information.

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

“Terrific...” We were lucky enough to visit on the warmest week of the year so far. The location was fantastic and the quality of the accomodation & furnishings were superb. We'll definitely book again.

“fabulous location” Within walking (coastal walk) distance of the lovely town of Yarmouth with its charming shops, pubs and restaurant the cottage is an ideal place to stay. Would definately recommend Saltys Restaurant and the one next to it overlooking the harbour and Gossip Cafe for local Minghella ice cream! Fort Victoria is an area which has the most wonderful views (you can see Lymington from the cottage window!) and the accommodation is furnished with everything you could want including wifi. The town of Ventnor has a great quirky charm to it, and the coastal path from there to Bonchurch is just lovely. We wre very fortunate to end the weeks stay with a fabulous musical show at the lovely old Shanklin Theatre.

“Lovely cottage in great location” 3 Fort Victoria Cottage is a very welcoming place to stay. Nicely decorated and well equipped, it is very close to the sea and has fantastic views. The cottage has a small private patio and garden but also has access to a large communal garden with lots of rabbits! The walk along the beach to Yarmouth only takes around 20 minutes and the cottage is very close to the country park. All in all, a great place to spend a holiday.

“Peace and Quiet by the Sea” Very comfortable cottage with everything needed for Self Catering including a BBQ on the front porch overlooking the Solent and a fire in living room for chilly evening. Owner was very friendly and little things like home made cookies and bottle of wine on arrival were very welcome. I would recommend having a car, though it is about 15 min pleasant walk along beach to local village and bus stop to Newport. Restaurants in village were good and very friendly.
