For a range of amenities the hamlet of Wootton can be reached within a 5-minute drive, alternatively the popular seaside town of Ryde is a 10-minute drive away. Ryde is the largest town on the island and boasts miles of golden sandy beaches and an abundance of shops, restaurants, bars and attractions. If visiting towards the end of summer, be sure to catch the carnival. The town holds the oldest carnival in the UK, when floats from all over the island come together to create the biggest, brightest spectacle of the year.

Beautiful holiday home in a lovely location. Filled with everything we might need such as fans, torch, hairdryer etc. We also appreciated the milk and chocolate in the fridge with tea and coffee provided. The house is beautifully decorated and my favourite room was the lounge upstairs with beautiful views. The only thing that made it not perfect, was that the outdoor seating area is directly next to the owners house and so we didn't use this area as we had planned. Otherwise, a gorgeous family holiday home.

The cottage was wonderful and equipped with everything a family of 5 could need.The owner was friendly and helpful, providing additional patio chair and even took our washing the one day we had showers.I would definitely look to stay here again the next time we visit the Isle of Wight.

This is an upside down cottage with a balcony overlooking countryside with views of the sea and Portsmouth in the distance. Although 5 people can stay here the balcony only allows room for two. The kitchen is excellent, and the wi fi is generally very good. The garden area has a table and seating for 4, but no provision for BBQ. The setting is reasonably remote, and therefore quite peaceful, except for the owners dogs which seem to enjoy shattering that peace all too regularly.a nice pub is a ten minute walk away down a quiet lane. It was very hot whilst we were there, and the bedroom downstairs gets very warm. There is no washing machine in the cottage, but you are welcome to use the owners own when required. Paula was lovely and we enjoyed the stay despite the points raised herein.
