Property code: IC105

Nestled on the west side of the island, this cottage lies within an excellent walking area. A coastal path leads south to natural local landmark, The Needles, and more walks and cycle trails run northwards to the attractive coastal port at Yarmouth. The sandy bays are popular with islanders and visitors alike, with plenty of swimming, boating, and fishing spots. There’s lots to do inland too, the small market town of Freshwater is within walking distance of the cottage, offering a good range of shops, pubs, restaurants and a golf course with gorgeous, panoramic coastal views. 

This charming cottage has stunning garden views throughout. Most rooms are south-west facing, providing a light and sunny environment. The attractive kitchen is equipped with an electric fan oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher, a separate freezer and washing machine are available outside in an outhouse. Here you’ll also find a quaint breakfast area with seating for six - a great spot for discussing the day’s plans over your morning coffee. The large open-plan lounge/dining room is the perfect place to unwind, with an open fire that gives a real homely feel. There’s ample seating and a TV/DVD, so the whole family can relax together after a busy day exploring. In the dining area you will also find a woodburner, which is perfect for more formal meals. There’s also a ground floor WC, and a side lobby with washing machine and freezer. Upstairs are three lovely bedrooms, two doubles and one twin, as well as a bathroom with rain shower over the bath, and WC. 

Enjoy the sun in the cottage’s south-west facing garden, offering an enclosed space to relax. There’s a large sunken garden in the centre, and garden furniture on the terrace so you can make the most of any good weather with a spot of al fresco dining. The cottage is approached via a fairly narrow driveway where up to four cars can be parked; entrance to the driveway from the road is narrowest point.

Beautiful clean, cosy cottage, with lovely garden to sit out in. Good location for the ferry and exploring the island. Easy access to the coastal path, Totland and Colwell bays. Some useful shops in the village, within walking distance.

Fabulous venue within walking distance of local amenities and buses. The driveway was no problem for a slender Alfa 159 but I can imagine wider vehicles my have an issue with the fist couple of yards. Opening the garage doors and a "load master" to guide (the eldest boy) we were able complete a four point turn and exit with ease.

Lovely clean well appointed cottage, located in a popular area just a short walk to the sea (Colwell Bay). Well located for exploring the west of the island. The kitchen is a good size and well equipped. We used the table and chairs in the kitchen rather than the dining room. 2 of the bedrooms are a good size, but the third is a very small double, Read morewith little room around the bed. The beds, however, are super comfortable. The garden is a beautiful oasis of calm. Highly recommended. Hide

Romany was a real home from home. It was well maintained and equipped and very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed spending time in the beautiful garden as the weather was glorious whilst we were there. It was an easy walk into Freshwater with a choice of supermarkets and bus routes and a slightly longer walk to a good Indian Restaurant and the ReRead mored Lion pub where we had an excellent meal.

We've stayed here more than once now, because it's a great location, great for a family that needs 'space' when on holiday, and very well maintained. Thoroughly recommended - except when we want to stay of course!

Wonderful cottage exceptionally clean and absolutely everything you could need was provided. We read some comments that the drive was an issue, whilst it is quite narrow we had no problem at all. Lovely garden which is a beautiful tranquil place to enjoy the afternoon sunshine. You can tell that a lot of care and attention has been taken with everyRead morething its a credit to the owners and the milk and delicious chocolate cake was a lovely surprise. Definitely recommend the Waterfront Restaurant. Hide
