Prepare romantic meals for two in the contemporary kitchen, which includes everything you should need during your stay including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with ice compartment and door that opens onto the garden. Once prepared, continue through to the inviting lounge/diner where you will find a dining table and chairs, sofa for two, Smart TV and a fantastic modern wood burner set into a charming brick fireplace. This impressive brick fireplace is the separation between the lounge and the bedroom. The double bedroom is light and airy with cosy rugs, an occasional chair, plenty of hanging space and a door opening onto the garden, perfect for those summer mornings. One step down you will find the wet room with a shower (narrows to 2ft wide). There is also a separate WC with large wash basin.

Perfect location to pass holidays and discover the island. Wonderful walks towards the needles from the cottage and top location for biking around the island. Just a pity that the double bed is very small 140cm.

The cottage is ideal for a couple on a break to the aisle of Wight. If you like being away from others but close enough to the amenities this place is ideal. We chose it for these reasons! Everything is supplied and easy car parking is a big advantage. We very much enjoyed our stay and will certainly consider again when we return.
