  • The perfect hideaway from which to explore all of Isle of Wight's wonderful sights
  • Large deck with seating that overlooks a beautiful natural stream, pond, and woodland
  • Take a morning swim in the shared outdoor heated swimming pool
Property code: OC-91563

A stylish wooden lodge that opens into a blissful woodland garden and is located near the scenic village of Whippingham. This hidden gem is a wonderful stay for young families or couples seeking a secluded retreat in nature. Stroll through stately rooms and admire blooming tulip displays at Osbourne House (1.5 miles), then stretch out on the deck to scoff supper with a wonderfully leafy backdrop.

This inviting property features a thoughtfully designed interior with an airy neutral colour palette, plush soft furnishings, and rustic country decor details. Shrug off outer layers at the door then be lulled into the light-flooded lounge/kitchen/diner. Slide open the striking bifold doors to create a breezy indoor-outdoor space then sink onto the soft corner sofa with a post-adventure tipple. Unwind with a film on the TV or browse the bookshelf for some evening entertainment. Padding into the crisp shaker kitchen, cook up a storm with local produce then gather for a leisurely evening feast at the polished wooden dining table. In warmer months, grab a bottle and soak up the mild Isle of Wight climate from the deck before turning in for the night. Choose from a tranquil double with private deck access or a cosy single with an additional trundle bed. When morning breaks, sip your coffee from the patio, throw down the yoga mat for a flow on the lawn, or saunter through the wildlife garden. There is also a shared heated outdoor pool for keen swimmers.

Blow away the cobwebs with an amble along the Medina Estuary Circular Walk (within 1 mile) then refuel with fresh bakes and brews at a local tea room in Whippingham (1 mile). Venture to Cowes (8 miles) to enjoy a fresh seafood platter while spotting the boats gliding through the harbour.

Nutkins was the perfect location for a base to visit the whole Island. The lodge was clean and tidy with the use of the heated swimming pool which we used every day. We would highly recommend staying here.

A warm welcome awaits you, along with a very generous welcome pack including yummy cakes and biscuits. It smelt lovely and everything was beautifully clean. The beds were very comfortable and there's plenty of warm blankets & substantial heaters if it gets cold, which it did during our stay! We couldn't fault this lovely cabin, presented with obvioRead moreus love & care. The pool was lovely as were the delightful red squirrels that entertained us daily. The only down side was the road noise. Hide
