Overview
Property code: 77733

This beautiful property located behind walled gardens, is in a wonderful position for exploring all the Isle of Wight has to offer, with wonderful history and heritage on the Island.

Set a quarter of a mile from holy Monks Bay Beach and three quarters from cliff-sheltered Ventnor Beach, this exquisite period cottage is the perfect base for families and friends seeking an island sanctuary. It has a rich history with links back to Charles Dickens. One of England’s sunniest spots with its own microclimate, Ventnor boasts a beautiful Botanic Garden, Heritage and Longshoreman’s Museums, art galleries and wonderful independent shops, pubs and restaurants serving delicious locally-caught crab and lobster. Bask on beaches at idyllic Steephill Cove (2 miles), pretty Orchard Bay (2.5 miles) and Mount Bay (2 miles), hugged by the balmy undercliff of Ventnor Botanic Garden.

 

Inside this elegant abode you’ll find an interior lavished with much love and care. From the Italian limestone flooring to the plantation shutters, underfloor heating in the kitchen and dog bedroom in the snug, the owner has really thought about their guests, be they two or four pawed. Gather round the glowing wood burner in the cosy lounge to reminisce with a glass of wine and plan tomorrow’s adventures. Prepare scrumptious feasts from fine local fare in the kitchen/diner, with its marble-topped table and Rangemaster oven. Unwind in the snug, with its own en-suite shower/WC and access to both front and rear gardens. Soak in a steaming tub in the blissful bathroom, before finding your bedroom for a dreamy island sleep; the ground-floor single and first-floor double, king-size and four-poster master each have their unique charms. Savour sweet al fresco sunset soirees in the front or rear garden, planted with love.

 

Learn to sail, canoe and jet ski at the water sports zone at Welcome Beach in Shanklin (4.5 miles), unwind in the family resort of Sandown (6 miles), and explore secluded Binnel Bay (8 miles) and fossil-rich Brightstone Bay (10.5 miles). Discover a thousand years of secrets of Carisbrooke Castle (12 miles) and find your inner child at Blackgang Chine, England’s oldest amusement park.

We had a lovely half term break at this stunning cottage. The weather was not on our side, but it did not matter when the inside space had everything we needed. The Gardens are amazing and perfect for families, the property is also very dog friendly. The location is great, with a lovely walk down to the promenade. We understand, that some additionsRead more are being added to the property, like a hot tub. That should be fun for our next visit. Would highly recommend, The Hosts have thought of everything. Hide

The house is lovely with a secure walled garden. The garden behind the door was affectionately known by our granddaughters as the secret garden. The weather wasnt great but this did not detract from our enjoyment. High end equipment plus the necessary materials for each one. Even the dogs had a treat basket. Definitely one to return to at some stagRead moree. Thank you for providing everything needed to make our holiday so enjoyable. Hide

We had a lovely week at Haviland cottage. It was the perfect base to explore the island from. The owners have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into getting the house ready for guests. The walled garden was a real hi-light, the pictures dont do it justice! Having a young child in our group we spent most evenings cooking and eating in the beauRead moretiful high spec kitchen diner, or using the fab BBQ. we all found the beds really comfortable! I highly recommend staying at Haviland cottage! Hide

A beautiful house, delightfully furnished with many secret gardens! The gardens are far more extensive than the pictures indicate. It is slightly farther from the sea front than we thought and the area is pretty hilly but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

What a fabulous holiday on the Isle of Wight. It was an absolute pleasure to stay in Haviland Cottage with all of its history and charm, whilst the beautiful gardens were a joy to explore. It was such a shame to have to return home but we will be back again in the future.

Haviland Cottage is a beautiful stone house. The interior is light and airy with all the mod cons, beautifully decorated and spotless. The gardens are stunning and wonderfully kept. A very relaxing and peaceful place to stay.

Haviland Cottage was so wonderful. The house and gardens are beautiful with lovely outside eating areas. It is beautifully positioned both secluded yet not too far from the beach or town - really recommended.

Haviland is obviously kitted out to the best possible spec, the house is well designed and spacious, with a kitchen and conservatory space that provided a perfect social spot for dinner/drinks and opens out onto a suntrap. There is more garden space than you can shake a stick at and Ventnor town is a 10/15min walk away, a perfect blend of convenienRead morece to centre and space. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to anyone considering a stay in the Isle of Wight Hide
