A charming country property with a grassy rear garden, perfectly positioned for adventures in Freshwater and the surrounding coastline. This breezy hideaway is ideal for ocean-loving families or couples and their four-pawed companions. Soak in sweeping ocean vistas as you trek through the heather-topped trail of Headon Warren (1.5 miles), then gather for a pre-dinner tipple and snack board in the airy lounge.

This cottage boasts a bright country interior with clean lines, soft terracotta tones, and exposed brickwork. Pad along the leafy pathway and slip off sandy shoes at the front door. Stepping into the dining space, perch at the table to thumb through a local guidebook or sink onto the sofa to up rest weary feet. Venturing further into the property, cook up a simple supper in the bright shaker kitchen with wooden worktops. After dinner, retire to the lounge and snuggle up on the plump seats. Raid the games selection or flick through the Smart TV then crack open the chocolates for a sweet treat. Completing the ground floor is a sleek family bathroom. Ascend the staircase to find two peaceful bedrooms to rest up in, including a tranquil double and a spacious bunk room. Outside, start the day with an al fresco breakfast spread on the garden bench and spot the swifts darting in the summer seasons.

Brave an invigorating wild dip in the waters of Totland Bay (1.5 miles) or simply while away sun-soaked afternoons lounging on the sandy beach. Budding paleontologists can fossil-hunt on the rugged cliff-backed shores of Compton Bay (4 miles) while the wildlife-lovers traverse the reedbeds of Afton Marsh (2 miles) to spot local hares and birds.

We were delighted with everything about the cottage. It is well equipped and homely. We would definitely like to stay there again sometime. Parking was not easy but we always found somewhere nearby to leave the car.

A very well equipped cottage. Very comfortable and clean. The garden was secure for our dog. Right in Freshwater village. Plenty of shops and a good pub serving great food. It felt very home from home. Lovely bathroom too and an upstairs toilet. Spacious bedrooms and comfortable bed. Stairs steep so may not be for someone with mobility issues.

We have had an amazing holidays. The cottage was very well equipped and comfortable. The bathroom is specious and having Jack and Jill toilet upstairs is a splendid idea. The bedrooms are spacious, hanging and storage space is plentiful. Garden is secure,lovely and sunny. Being a dog friendly cottage we could really not ask for anymore. The only isRead moresue we have experienced not fault of the cottage was the parking. I have sadly twisted my ankle, so no allocated parking was an issue to me. Hide

Very cosy comfortable cottage. Easy access to local beeches, amenities and travelling the island. Fully enclosed safe garden for our dog. Although restricted parking, we didnt find this a problem with available parking spaces in adjacent roads. Would definitely stay again.

This cottage is placed on a very busy road. Constant traffic and little parking for more than 30 mins. Shops are convenient but this means cars are outside until 10 pm.
