Set in the heart of the Isle of Wight National Landscape, this quaint cottage for families and groups of friends offers the best of both worlds with its countryside and coastal surroundings. The host village of Brighstone is one of the island’s prettiest and most charming destinations, with rows of chocolate-box cottages, thatched homes and plenty of welcoming shops and places to eat and drink. For a local beach, Brighstone Bay is just 2 miles away, offering a long, curved, shingle shoreline. Known as the Isle of Wight’s Dinosaur Coast, the surrounding beaches and coastal trails here are perfect for fossil-hunters and outdoor explorers. Walkers will delight in the wealth of rural and seaside trails all around them – explore the country footpaths from the cottage or head just a mile to join the dramatic Isle of Wight Coast Path. Nearby popular destinations include Atherfield Bay, Blackgang, Ventnor, Shanklin and Sandown, all within 15 miles.
