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.

The house feels like a home as soon as you arrive, itâs clean and very tastefully decorated, and has everything you could need to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. A very generous welcome pack on arrival (thank you Nici) the milk, tea and coffee very much appreciated after a long journey. We all (dogs and humans) loved our walks around Carisbrooke Castle and local fields, and the dogs loved paddling in the ford on the way back. The house is in a great location to explore the island and lovely to come back to after long days sightseeing, especially being able to relax in the hot tub. We were incredibly lucky with the weather, so we made the most of our days out. Nici is really friendly and helpful, even putting extra boarding up to stop our small dog potentially escaping from the garden. Very reassuring to know that the garden is secure. We would absolutely love to stay at the Coach House again and wouldnât hesitate to recommend it.
