From the owner

Little Thatch is our gorgeous picture postcard cottage in Shorwell, Isle of Wight.

This charming Grade II listed thatched cottage is over 260 years old and full of character.

Built from local stone, over time the cottage has been extended, and now provides comfortable accommodation for 6 people.

There is parking for up to 3 cars, and even a handy 3-pin socket for electric cars to 'granny charge' from!

At the back a beautiful large lawned garden is complemented by a patio, decking, garden furniture, summer house with games and a tree platform – all of which make this a perfect holiday cottage for families.

Shorwell is in the West Wight, & was said to be Queen Victoria's favourite village on the Island! It has picturesque thatched cottages, a 12th Century church, a shop and an excellent village pub within a 5 minute walk.

It is well placed to explore all the Isle of Wight has to offer – attractions such as Osborne House, Carisbrooke Castle, Blackgang Chine, The Needles and all the south coast beaches are within very easy reach.

In traditional country style you enter the cottage round the back into the dining room. To the right you will find the ground floor kingsize bedroom, with an adjacent shower room making this ideally suited for elderly members of the family.

To the left is a fully fitted galley kitchen. Off this is a cosy and comfortable lounge with 2 chairs and a 2-seat sofa, as well as large window seats. This room features exposed stone walls, beams, wood panels, brick fireplace and an electric 'log burner'. Beyond the lounge is a second sitting room with a leather chesterfield sofa, two bean bags, TV/DVD and many games.

Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms. To the left, the double bedroom has a kingsize bed and leads to a bathroom with bath, hand basin & toilet. The twin room on the right has two single beds.

Free WiFi is included, as well as a freeview "Smart" TV in main lounge.

The cottage is not suitable for pets.

Please bring own towels and tea towels
