About this property
This one-of-a-kind characterful coach house rests close to Carisbrooke Castle and the main house is where JMW Turner is believed to have painted a landscape of the notable building. The charming exterior sets a scene for the cottage upon arrival and this continues as you wander inside. A cobbled courtyard leads into the kitchen where you will be impressed by the spacious layout, white units, and the country feel that is perfect for a home-cooked meal with your loved ones. The lounge lies adjacent to this room, centred by a large sofa, which provides a comfortable place to relax amongst the heart-warming décor.
A selection of books and games will keep you occupied for hours as you enjoy all that this beautiful cottage has to offer. Take the stairs to the next floor and three bedrooms boast calmness and serenity for you to unwind after a long day, all complete with a nautical theme and quirky accessories. The colour scheme is a breath of fresh air and you can sleep peacefully and wake up to it all over again. A family bathroom is an all-white suite with shower cubicle. Spend your free time in the enclosed garden admiring the far-reaching views across the castle and beyond.

Christine
The house is a proper home from home, the outside courtyard space is a great space for drying wet dogs but also a lovely space to sit at the table, then the upper garden area gives you beautiful countryside views with a peaceful seating area and the hot tub. There are lovely walks on the doorstep and the location is perfectly located for exploring this lovely island. Nicci, the owner was lovely and very kindly got us substantially discounted ferry tickets. We definitely hope to return next year.

In a very secluded area very quite just what we needed for a break away from work. We feel if there was extra toilet facilities maybe downstairs would have eased congestion for the bathroom. Very well maintained and hot tub what a bonus!!! Thank you so much .

Very central to fantastic walks from the doorstep. Thank you for our fabulous welcome to the island a perfect holiday.
