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 and hidden gems Bonchurch and Steephill Cove. 

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 a BBQ and seating for al fresco food and 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. Castlehaven 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. For your convenience there is off road parking available for 2 cars at the property.

Meeting the owner, Mrs Breaks, who appeared a nice personable lady, we can better understand the concerns of maintaining her large 200 year property. A comfortable bed, hot water and heating gave us a better feel. But it does need some thought about updating in several areas. Having a north east facing unit, it misses the sun. But has an outside coRead moreurtyard. It has a rural position, close to a lovely pub, The Buddle Inn. Small village of Niton just down the road with shops and another pub. Hide

The property requires updating. The shower was unusable, alternating between very hot and cold. Kitchen equipment is poor and there is musty/damp smell in the kitchen cupboards, necessitating all equipment to be washed and stored on the worktop during our stay. Could do with a deep clean. Seating in lounge uncomfortable. We could imagine that perhaRead moreps in the past it was a lovely property but sadly now past its best and very shabby. All these issues have been reported in reviews back in 2023. Hide

We had a wonderful time at Puckaster- its a beautiful and unique property which feels spacious and exciting, but cozy to stay in. We loved exploring the garden!

We have stayed in the Wing at Puckaster House four times and have always enjoyed our stay, including this year. It has such character. The only negatives are the two sofas are extremely uncomfortable and the cooking equipment has seen better days.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful and secluded setting with views from the large garden down to the sea. Probably not suitable for people with mobility issues as there are lots of steps in the house.

The second time we have stayed at Puckaster. Location is wonderful, so peaceful and ideal for exploring different parts of the Island. Cottage is very spacious and comfortable, we received a warm welcome from the owner. We hope to return again!

A lovely setting, ideally placed for reaching beaches, etc. Lovely gardens with lots of space. Little pebbly cove within walking distance & beach hut cafe. Kitchen may benefit from some updated equipment, but other than that there's everything you need. Beds are very comfortable. An outside walled private terrace, with planting, is great space for Read moreeating outside in warm weather. One other self-catering property on site neighbouring this. The owner was very helpful and on site to help if needed. Hide
