This charming detached stone cottage is beautifully situated overlooking the sea on the southern tip of the Island, within a 5 minute walk of St Catherine’s Lighthouse. It is in ‘An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ in a lovely peaceful hamlet. This is a wonderful walking area with the coastal path heading westwards along a beautiful, dramatic and unspoilt area of coastline all the way to the Needles. Alternatively visitors may enjoy downland walks or following the course of the River Yar from Niton to Bembridge. The small seaside resort of Ventnor is within a 10 minute drive and there is easy access to a number of small sandy bays on the west side of the island. The renowned Buddle Inn is within a few minutes walk of the cottage and a 10 minute stroll brings you to the main village of Niton where there is a general store, post office and another public house.

Niton Undercliff, which is the area closer to the coast and within a short walk of Niton, enjoys spectacular and panoramic views of the sea. This vantage point made it an ideal location for St Catherine's Light House which is located here. Nition Undercliff has an exellent public house and is a peaceful location without passing traffic.
Niton and Niton Undercliff are just along the coast from St Lawrence, Ventnor and Bonchurch to the East and Blackgang, Chale and Brighstone, to the West.

The South of the Isle of Wight is a wonderful mix of pretty beaches and dramatic coastal landscape. The sand and shingle beach at Ventnor is one of the more popular holiday locations but hidden gems such as Bonchurch and Steephill Cove are really worth a visit too.
The coastal path around the South Coast of the Isle of Wight is a particularly beautiful stretch to explore and passes a number of attractive sites which include Steephill Cove, Orchard Bay and St Catherine's Light House at Niton Undercliff. Some of this area has been prone to erosion so you must stick to the footpath and take heed of diversions.
Inland one finds a beautiful rural area with high downs from which panoramic views can be enjoyed. A Botanical garden at Ventnor takes advantage of a warm micro climate found in this part of the Island. View more South Isle of Wight Cottages
