Hadfield Cottage is situated in the picturesque coastal village of Bonchurch and is less than 3 minutes walk from the sea. Bonchurch has an air of tranquillity with its lovely village pond, traditional style cottages and 11th century church. Restaurants and a public house are within easy walking distance.

Hadfield Cottage has been converted from the original coach house of Winterbourne House where Charles Dickens wrote part of David Copperfield.
