Offering delightful, fresh and relaxing accommodation for up to four guests, this lovely cottage makes a wonderful base for a family or a couple looking for a holiday home close to the centre of the popular seaport of Cowes. Coolly and tastefully decorated with a nautical theme throughout, this is an excellent location for guests during the famous Cowes Week, or for visitors wanting to explore the Isle of Wight's beautiful northern coast and countryside.

Arriving at this attractive cottage, you will find yourself in the airy and welcoming lounge. This is a peaceful space to relax in at the end of a great day out, where you can snuggle up with a good book or a movie. Exploring further, the spacious kitchen/diner is perfect for preparing and sharing a fantastic family meal. Two charming bedrooms can be found on the first floor: a bright twin room (which can be made into a double on request) and the master bedroom with views over the garden and towards West Cowes. Heading outside, the pretty seaside themed back garden has space for you to sit back with a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening.

The property is within a mile of the East Cowes Terminal and the Cowes Yacht Haven and makes a great base for making the most of the two bustling towns. The Marina is also nearby, with a wealth of excellent restaurants, pubs and independent shops to discover. Perfect for sailing enthusiasts, Cowes is home to several museums including the Wight Military and Heritage Museum, the Classic Boat Museum, Cowes Maritime Museum and the Sir Max Aitken Museum.
