Shorwell amenities, are just minutes away from the cottage, and include a small shop and a traditional public house with a stream. There is a playground in the village, for young children and also a playing field.

The market town of Newport, which is the capital of the island, and the medieval castle of Carisbrooke, are within five and a half miles. There is a regular bus service.
