Situated in the southern reaches of the Isle of Wight, this charming stone-built cottage makes a lovely holiday retreat for a family or a small group of friends, and has plenty of space for two happy hounds. Offering cosy accommodation for six guests, this delightful property has been tastefully furnished and stylishly decorated and is perfect for exploring the Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Accessed via eight external steps, the cottage features a light, fresh and welcoming lounge which is a great space to relax in with comfortable seating, a wood burner and TV with games console/DVD player. The spacious kitchen/diner offers a stylish and fully equipped kitchen and a pretty dining area overlooking the garden.

Great holiday cottage, our dog loved the fully enclosed garden and saying hello to the neighbours dogs. Excellent location, rural but easy access to lots of different places via car. The footpath at the end of the garden was handy, but we didnt go all the way to the main beach

Ideally situated particularly if you have dogs - so many walks in the vicinity. Garden is totally secure. Neighbours have dogs too so are happy to have dogs next door. Bed in master bedroom is very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Shopping easy. Centrally located for visiting interesting places around the island.

The cottage was very clean and in an ideal location. Very quiet with easy access to other places. Unfortunately it was too far away from the pub at Shorwell to walk there.

Really lovely place to stay, more than big enough for a family, well looked after and very comfortable. Great size kitchen and garden in particular.

A lovely cottage in a remote setting but ample parking and the area is wonderful. Loads of eating places nearby. Comfortable and well equipped just the water and heating became a niggle.

Rose cottage is in a beautiful setting. With many thoughtful touches. The garden is completely secure and leads straight onto the Shepherds Trail. The Crown pub is a short drive away, serving delicious food. This is the second time we have been with family and 2 dogs and hope to return.
