Property code: 60945

Stay in a wing of this gorgeous ‘Cottage Ornee’ style house, which boasts several acres of garden and lawns. Ideally situated for exploring the island or escaping from it all.

Studded on the southern tip of the Isle of Wight is this enchanting haven that’s ideal for experiencing the beautiful coastline of the Isle of Wight. Sleeping couples and small families of up to four guests, it is a cosy retreat for curling up after a busy day or exploring the shared grounds, carefully supervising young children by the ponds. The village of Niton Undercliff is an excellent vantage point for discovering Ventnor, a seaside resort just 5 miles away.

Surrounded by acres of grounds, your abode is the private wing of a grand historic house and has the added bonus of its own pretty courtyard with seating for al fresco drinks. Inside, the large rooms have been finished in soft, neutral tones complete with attractive furniture and accessories in keeping with the property’s character. Snuggle up on the sofas to watch the Smart TV by the ornate decorative fireplace or perch in the kitchen/diner with a hot drink. This compact yet brilliantly equipped space has everything you need to cook dinner. Two comfortable bedrooms can be found upstairs along with a delightful bathroom.

Whether you are tempted by days on the beach or exhilarating walks along the cliff tops, you’ll be spoilt for choice of how to fill your itinerary. Castle Haven is a tiny cove with a harbour and cafe by the beach 1 mile away. Ventnor has an abundance of pubs, restaurants and cafes throughout its sloping streets and a promenade to peruse. This location also boasts its own microclimate so you may even spot miniature lizards darting about near the seafront. The coast path stretches all the way to The Needles if you fancy breaking down the 17-mile walk into manageable chunks.

The wing is full of character and spacious. Beautiful gardens to enjoy and share with the rabbits and peacocks. Peaceful and convenient location. Sofa's could do with an upgrade and feather duvet too warm.

This cottage isn't the most modern but it is cosy and comfortable, and so quiet. The beds are really comfortable.

This property is ideal for a stay on the Isle of Wight. It has all the charm of a period property but with modern touches. A particular nice touch was the availability of Netflix on the t.v.

We had a very enjoyable week at The Wing of Puckaster House. It was a fascinating cottage, well equipped and tastefully furnished in keeping with the period of the House. The gardens were extensive and a real joy to explore. A very peaceful place!

The cottage is located at a beautiful quiet location, the gardens and views are excellent. Great place to chillout, pub with good food 10 mins walk and a great base to see the island. On the negative side the lounge furniture in the lounge needs replacing.

What a wonderful time we had . This cottage is perfectly located to explore the Island. Very quiet and peaceful but a short walk to a pub and amazing walks like St Catherines Lighthouse. The gardens were wonderful also . Spotlessly clean too.

Property is wing of large Victorian house. Large rooms, a little gloomy and no 'glimpses of the sea' from the bedrooms. However, clean and comfortable, and house has wonderful garden to potter around. Village is pretty and quiet. Recommend the beach caf for meals as well as the Buddle Inn.
