A superbly-renovated Sunday School, Sanctuary Cottage is part of the stunning conversion of Church House, located in the village of Totland, on the west coast of the Isle of Wight. Packed full with many original features, this lovely property is ideal for families and friends looking to discover this beautiful island. After parking on a private unmade road, walking down a few steps and strolling across the enclosed patio garden, youll enter this immediately impressive property through a beautiful red arched door, into the hall, where the charm of the Sunday Schools arches and beams will greet you. The ground floor has a cloakroom and a spacious open plan living area with kitchen, dining area and sitting area, boasting delightful stained glass windows, as well as comfortable sofas upon which you can cuddle up in front of the Smart TV, or play your favourite music through the iPod dock whilst reminiscing about the days adventures. Upstairs every room has original beams, sloping ceilings and delightful church windows and there are three bedrooms, one a twin with a Velux window. The second sits opposite the stylish family bathroom and is perfect for the younger members of the party as it offers a set of childrens bunks suitable for children up to 5ft 2". The master bedroom overlooks the patio garden to the front and boasts a TV and a superb super king-size double bed, also zip/link and able to convert into twin beds. Outside, the patio garden is enclosed and offers furniture for alfresco dining, whilst just eight minutes walk away are the clear waters and pebbly beach at Totland Bay. Upon walking left along the beach youll come to The Waterfront, ideal for a bite to eat whilst watching the sun glisten on the water, whilst walking right will take you to the lovely old pier and a year-round dog-friendly beach. A little further afield is Colwell Bay, offering The Hut, an ever-popular café and restaurant and Freshwater is also a short walk, with many local shops for you to browse. Alternatively, pack a picnic and take an exhilarating walk up Headon Warren to enjoy some of the islands best views, especially at twilight when the sun is beginning to set. With all this and more just waiting for you, this charming cottage, in a stunning location, is perfect for a holiday all year round.
Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the west of the Isle of Wight, the village of Totland offers visitors local shops, pubs and spectacular, unspoiled coastal scenery. The award-winning beaches of both Totland and Colwell Bay provide a wide range of activities, whilst Freshwater boasts a golf course and public swimming, both of which are situated along the Tennyson Trail.

The cottage was brilliant stocked for everything we needed to cook and clean and the beds and towels were excellent as well. The dog basket and towels etc were a lovely surprise and very well received by our dog too! We will be back for sure!

A delightful sanctuary, a home from home. After traveling from North Wales we were expecting to have to find a local shop to get some milk for a much needed cuppa so we were delighted to find fresh milk in the fridge on arrivalâ¦such thoughtful attention to detail ! Also everything provided for the dogs, bowls, blankets etc. The kitchen is very well equipped with plenty of crockery, cutlery, pots & pans etc. One minor issueâ¦we couldnât get the vacuum cleaner to work ! It was on charge when we arrived & Iâm not normally baffled by domestic appliances

Good local facilities in Totland and Freshwater. A very well insulated building, we were surprised how warm it was returning from our visits. It was especially appreciated as the weather was not the best, we made the most of our time on the island, a nice relaxing break.
