Property code: OC-92540

A charming cottage within 150 metres of Cowes High Street and just 1.5 miles from Gurnard Beach. This dog-friendly cottage is well-suited to small families or groups of friends keen to explore the Isle coastal and inland attractions, and features spacious living areas and a cosy rear garden.

The two-storey cottage is set back from a narrow street that winds down into the town centre. Each room has its own quirky appeal, its hard and carpeted floors adorned with colourful and characterful soft furnishings. The comfort of the inviting lounge will be hard to leave behind, while the dining room will ring with the sounds of popping corks and laughter during meals created in the neighbouring kitchen. A family bathroom stands just beyond this, the perfect place to relax after a long day out. Upstairs, two well-appointed double bedrooms promise weary travellers a restful night’s sleep. A small decked area at the front of the cottage enjoys distant harbour views and is ideal for people watching over morning coffees. The rear garden, which bathes in sunlight throughout the day, is a bolthole for BBQs.

The centre of Cowes (150 metres) is home to a range of dog- and family-friendly attractions and amenities leading guests down to the picturesque Cowes Esplanade, while Gurnard Beach (1.5 miles) welcomes dogs out of season. Watersports lovers keen to sample the Solent will find their meets well catered for, with a range of opportunities dotted along the coast. The cottage’s close proximity to the Solent also makes it a very attractive option for Cowes Week.

Lovely cottage ideally located for all local amenities. Neutral decor with pops of colour was really nice. Good equipment present in kitchen and welcome pack was very welcome! We found no issue parking on street or the nearest car park. We had a very lovely stay and look forward to coming back to Cowes again

Really lovely cottage in a fantastic location, just a couple of minutes walk to the centre of Cowes. The kitchen has everything youd need to cook with and we had a lovely welcome basket. Nice to have some outside space and the log burner was fab. Able to unload the car in front of the cottage and then parking at Northwood House car park is easy andRead more close, cost 42 for the week and better than finding on-street spaces in Cowes. Hide

The cottage is well situated near the centre of Cowes. The road it faces is quiet, and although there is no guarantee of parking outside of the cottage, there is municipal parking just a few minutes walk from the front door. The sitting room, dining room, and bedrooms are comfortable, and we had a good night's sleep. As this is our first visit to tRead morehe Isle of Wight, we found this an excellent location for stocking up on food (M&S is just a short walk away) but also for visiting other parts. Hide

Excellent location if you wish to be based in Cowes. The cottage is well appointed. Two very comfortable beds and excellent facilities all round.
