  • Gorgeous Isle of Wight property surrounded by countryside with walking and cycling routes
  • A wonderful family holiday home within easy reach of local attractions
  • Situated 1.5 miles from the picturesque village of Godshill and 4 miles from the sandy beaches at Sandown and Shanklin
Property code: OC-82973

Escape to the southern reaches of the beautiful Isle of Wight and stay in this idyllic village location, enjoying a holiday characterised by long strolls through the countryside and delicious meals crafted with only the finest local ingredients. This cottage is full to the brim with home comforts, so you and your party of four will be able to relax by the wood burner and enjoy cooking in the traditionally styled kitchen. You’ll also be within easy reach of the coast for long days on the beach and bracing cliff top walks.

Attached to the owner’s home yet ensuring privacy, your delightful accommodation will envelop you in a sense of warmth from the moment you step through the threshold into the dining room. With beamed ceilings, wooden floors and large doors allowing natural light to flow through, this room is a sanctuary for mealtimes. Snuggle up on the lounge sofas and light the wood burner on chilly evenings, awaiting a meal prepared with love in the generous kitchen. Steep carpeted stairs lead up to the bedrooms, both of which are elegantly finished complete with en-suites, useful storage and comfortable beds. Outside is a small courtyard garden at he front side of the house and a shared driveway with parking for two cars.

Lace up your walking boots and breathe in the crisp country air as you head to the pretty village of Godshill 1.5 miles away for a stroll around the church and a treat in the tearoom. Walking and cycling is a sheer delight throughout the wild and windswept landscape, yet a 3-mile drive will bring you to the Victorian seaside town of Ventnor with its array of eateries and endless coastal charm. Play on the beach and wander along the promenade, rounding off your adventures with a slap-up meal at the popular beach pub.

Lovely cottage that was a home away from home with lots of space to relax in comfort. Perfect location to explore the southern and eastern sides of the island and on a quiet road, it was fun to see horse rider go past every day and hear the bird at every time of day.

Please see above comments, I feel totally let down by your company, it is clear that this cottage has not been inspected by a local representative of Holiday cottages as the photos on your website are misleading.

Clean and comfortable property within easy reach of many tourist locations and beaches. appreciated the property owners welcome pack of cream tea and milk. Both bedrooms had their own bathrooms, however, one of the shower dials was very difficult to turn on and off - reported the fault in the guest's book.

The cottage is adequate. There is only a very small patio area to sit in at the top of the steep drive. Not a pleasant place to sit and not great for dogs. The road outside the house is narrow and not suitable for dog walks. Apart from that the whole cottage needs upgrading. The accommodation was 'adequate' but not worth the money charged. There waRead mores no hairdryer and no dishwasher. The showers need upgrading. When we rent a cottage we expect atleast as good as at home - this was not the case here Hide

A lovely cottage set in the countryside in a fairly central location for touring the island. The main bedroom is spacious and has everything needed but the second bedroom is less so; no easily accessible socket for charging phones and the en suite only has a cloakroom size basin with overhead glass shelf (difficult for cleaning teeth and shaving).

Carla really made us feel welcomed and the house was decorated and ready for us for Christmas. The welcome pack was appreciated and was a lovely touch. Waking up in the morning to the open fields was a refreshing start to the day. Close to all amenities. This will be a lovely spot for anyone visiting the Isle of Wight.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Rhoda Cottage. The kitchen was very spacious and the lounge was very comfortable. We met with Carla and she was very kind and asked us to let her know if we needed anything. We would highly recommend Rhoda Cottage for quite rural stay in IOW.
