About the location

Sunny coastline and countryside, but with quick access to London etc.

We are situated on a quiet road in Northwood, a peaceful, friendly, and safe semi-rural area.

Getting to and from the mainland is quick and straightforward. We are just a few minutes’ drive from the high-speed passenger ferry which gets you to Southampton in 25 minutes, where you can catch a direct train straight into central London in under 80 minutes.

A great location to combine a relaxing British seaside holiday with classic UK sightseeing. The Isle of Wight is officially the sunniest region in the UK, boasting a unique microclimate.

You are never more than a short drive from award-winning sandy beaches, dramatic white chalk cliffs (The Needles), and miles of stunning coastal walking paths.

Cowes waterfront with it`s world class sailing facilities is only a few minutes away by car or ten minutes by bike. There are major regattas held throughout the summer and if you visit in late July/early August, the town is especially busy with Cowes Week—one of the oldest and largest regattas in the world, complete with live music, street food, and fireworks. But a gentle, scenic walk along the seafront leads you to the neighbouring village of Gurnard. Gurnard Green is famous for having some of the best sunsets in the UK. Buy some fish and chips from the beach cafe and watch the sun dip behind the New Forest on the mainland.

Hop across the River Medina on the quirky chain ferry to East Cowes and visit Osborne House. This stunning Italianate palace was Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s beloved seaside family home, complete with immaculate gardens and a private royal beach.

Lots of good country walking accessible directly from the house. Central location on the Isle of Wight, so easy to explore all the attractions, beaches and beautiful countryside that the island has to offer. The island network of cycle paths is easily accessible.

One of the best ways to see the beautiful coastline of the Isle of Wight is from offshore, and there are a number of sailing and boat charters available throughout the year. These range from leisurely sight-seeing tours to sailing tuition and more “hands on” sailing experiences. For fishing enthusiasts there are also charter boats available.

A visit to the Isle of Wight wouldn’t be complete without visiting some of the famous beaches. The Island currently has the highest number of award-winning beaches in England.

Get closer to nature by enjoying a countryside walk, where you will find a whole host of local wildlife including red squirrels and some unique butterfly species – you can also see a great variety of birds which take advantage of the many different habitats.

The Isle of Wight is one of the richest places in Europe for dinosaur heritage, and there are a number of walks and attractions available showcasing the best of the Island’s fossil collection.

Because the Isle of Wight is roughly diamond-shaped and only about 23 miles wide, nowhere is ever far away.

Looking for a great night out, but not into pubs and clubs? Then head for the Isle of Wight and treat yourself to a night out with the stars… the actual stars. Now a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the Isle of Wight has some of the darkest skies in the UK, making it perfect for an astronomical night out.

Finding great places to eat is one of the highlights of any holiday, and the Isle of Wight offers a fabulous array to cater for all tastes and appetites. As soon as you step off the ferry you will be spoiled for choice, with an abundance of afternoon tea rooms, country pubs, quality restaurants and beach-side cafes. Every town and village across the Island will have places to tempt you.
