Celebrate a special occasion in style at this picture-postcard stone cottage in the heart of Nettlestone. Sleeping ten people across five bedrooms, it’s perfect for large families or groups of friends who are seeking a characterful retreat on the Isle of Wight. Spend a happy day exploring the distinctive brick-paved streets of Seaview, and then set off on a hike along the Discovery Trail. In the evening, come home to host a fun BBQ feast in your cottage’s tranquil garden.
Pull into your private parking spot (there’s room for three cars) and step inside your chic 220-year-old retreat. The hallway leads to a bright and cheerful kitchen and two separate sitting rooms – a great feature for multigenerational groups who like to give the kids their own space. Soak up the Victorian grandeur, high ceilings and elegant decor before you head to the kitchen to rustle up some dinner. Share a smart dinner at the elegant dining table, where the large French doors perfectly frame the garden views. Alternatively, step out onto the patio and enjoy in a leisurely BBQ feast. Afterwards, pour yourself a glass of wine and catch up on your favourite TV shows. Upstairs, you’ll find two king-size bedrooms (one with an en-suite bathroom), a double (with an en-suite bathroom), and a family room with a double bed and a single bed. There’s also a twin on the ground floor. Two sleek family bathrooms (one with walk-in shower and one with a rolltop bath and shower) complete the stylish layout.
Beach-lovers will adore an afternoon at Priory Bay (0.5 miles), a quiet, sandy beach backed by woodland. Alternatively, head into Ryde (3 miles) to stroll along the historic pier, or make your way to Bembridge (3.5 miles) to explore the harbour.
