Lovely holiday cottage with a view of Carisbrooke Castle. Spotlessly clean, comfortable beds and tastefully decorated. Really helpful and thoughtful hosts. A mile to walk into Newport but also regular buses and if you have a car very centrally located to go north, east, south or west. A Co-op just down the road and larger shops in Newport.
