We have just returned from our second visit to the cottage and had the best week. The cottage is so well equipped with everything you could possibly need, very clean, comfortable, great location and an amazing welcome hamper. There is a lovely pub with a garden and play area a few doors down and the biggest island attractions for children both within about a 15 minute drive. Beautiful clean beaches within 20 minutes. Could not recommend more. We hope to return again.

Located a short drive from the beaches at Ventnor, Shanklin and Sandown this unique detached cottage has been renovated and equipped to the highest standards plus there is a large lawned garden and Wi-Fi. Available dates are limited due to popular demand so if this is for you then book early. I could only secure 4 nights (My birthday) but would have liked longer. Thanks for the welcome pack and information guide. Very relaxing break on the IoW.
