About this property

On the delightful shores of the Isle of Wight in the Edwardian resort village of Seaview, Drake Cottage offers a charming escape for a family of four. Enjoy open-plan living, being within a stone's throw of the sea, and being close to all the amenities you need, Drake Cottage is a charming retreat for a classic seaside stay. Within the open-plan living space, you can relax on the sofas and easy chairs in front of the Smart TV and watch a film together for a quiet evening, with a dining table and chairs and a breakfast bar perfect for home-cooked meals and pit-stop lunches before continuing your activity-filled day. The kitchen has all you need to rustle up some tasty treats, but with plenty of restaurants and pubs near by you will be spoilt for choice with where to go. Spend time on your decked area with a picnic bench to perch on with a refreshing drink, an ideal place to enjoy an aperitif before finding a restaurant. Enjoy the gorgeous views of the Solent and out to Portsmouth and the Spinnaker Tower from Springvale Beach before enjoying a walk in Puckpool Park, home to gardens as well as tennis courts, a children's play area and mini-golf, you can enjoy sunny days here with a picnic. Take a dip in the waters at Seagrove beach, with gently sloping sands into the clear water, it is a popular site for swimming and other watersports including sailing. The town of Ryde has a wider selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as museums and galleries to discover. Appley Beach is another stunning beach with golden sands, and has some of the warmest waters on the island in summer, and it’s bordered by a lovely green park with a children's playground. There are many other attractions on the Isle of Wight within reach including Amazon World Zoo, Carisbrooke Castle, Monkey Haven and the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary, all well-worth visiting. Enjoy a holiday at Drake Cottage and discover Isle of Wight.

Resting on the north east coast of the Isle of Wight, Seaview is a small Edwardian seaside village. Along with amazing views across the Solent and a shining reputation as being an upmarket resort, Seaview is a wonderful location for a family holiday. Appley Beach is just down the road, offering beautiful golden sands and warm waters, with the town of Ryde just further down, here you can find a host of local shops and boutiques as well as pubs and bars.

    If you like a hard mattress then the beds are fine but myself & sister take our own thick bed toppers to help make the mattress more comfortable. The kitchen has all the usual equipment so meals can be prepared & cooked. The main downfalls which we encountered last year & this year also is there is no lighting in the car park which is just a rough earth surface & is pitch dark in the evening when coming back from a night out & no lighting in the area where Drakes cottage along with all the others in that complex are, which are set out in a quadrangle around a grassed patch in front of the cottages, the lights on the cottages occupied by owners & holiday makers are the only available outside lights on the cottages so you can see your way back to your holiday home & only if the people in them leave the light on ( most don’t) & they are on timers.. we asked the owner could he do the timer to go off at 12pm which he did as he was in the island at the time. Holiday makers don’t have access to the timer or Lx outside lights, I recommend taking a good torch. Also the smell that smells like rotten eggs permeates the area & it’s vile, windows had to be kept shut both times we were there in September last year & this. Some say it’s the pond causing the smell which does appear more strongly when you’re near the pond and the pond is near the cottages. Also evidently there is a sewage plant adjacent to the car park and the cottages, some think it comes from there, tbh you can’t fully tell where it comes from is vile and very offputting. After experiencing it two years running. I don’t know if myself and my sister would go back again I really couldn’t stand it. It made me gag and heave. Other than that the cottage is very nice apart from the beds being too firm and that awful smell that’s constantly there.

    A bad smell of sewerage from a pump house situated next to car park no mention of this in the description on the plus side nice and quiet and everything in the chalet provided

  • Helen

    Unfortunately I could not recommend this place to anyone else on account of the terrible, nauseating stench of raw sewage which seemed to get progressively worse throughout the week. It's a real shame because it will put us off coming back.
