This little cottage offers a holiday that’s all about serenity, simplicity, and the simpler things in life. Accessed by a National Trust track through a grazed common, this rustic Edwardian cottage is surrounded by rolling green hills, and abundant wildlife. You’ll have a superb view down the Longstone Valley too.
With a unique charm, this three-bedroom red-brick hideaway has Edwardian fireplaces and wooden floors that add to its period character. And although there are solar panels to power the cottage lighting, there’s no power for appliances, so you’ll really be off-grid when you stay. Your heating comes from a log burner in the cosy living room, and there are gas powered wall heaters in the bathroom and dining room. The cooking and fridge facilities are also powered by gas. Outside, the lawned garden has a table and chairs perfect for soaking up the peace and quiet as well as those sensational valley views.
Sitting on the glorious Mottistone Estate, which includes cliffs, common, down as well as village and farmland, this special spot is ideal for a tranquil break. The cottage looks out over the ancient and incredibly rare Neolithic monument, The Longstone. You’ll also be close to the lovely gardens of Mottistone Manor where you can sample the tea and scones. If you’re keen to explore more of the island then a short drive along the coast is the surfing hotspot of Compton Bay, and the natural spectacle of the Needles Headland. Wherever you head, the coastline is captivating.
The cottage is also a fabulous spot for star gazing, as the area is known for its dark skies. It’s also brilliant for walkers and cyclists who can explore the many paths and tracks. Take a trip to the Old and New Battery or go fossil hunting on the island’s dinosaur coastline. For lazy beach days then Brook beach is only a five-minute drive away.
