Nestled in Niton on the Isle of Wight, this restored heritage building is an ideal getaway for families or groups of friends. While the garden is shared with neighbouring cottages, a private courtyard awaits your alfresco dinners. The home is modern and practical, though some of the decor feels slightly dated – besides, it’s the setting that makes this place so unique. The signal is patchy here, but we think you’ll probably be too busy exploring to really notice. Explore Carisbrooke Castle, Brading Roman Villa, and Arreton Old Village, or take a stroll along Castlehaven Beach – it’s dog-friendly for those bringing their furry companions.

Home truths:
*This home is one of three former lighthouse keepers' cottages. Though you'll have a fully enclosed and private courtyard, you'll share the garden area, so expect to bump into other guests during your stay.
*A cot and high chair are available on request.
*Guests are reminded that this is a heritage building, therefore certain features such as steps, stairs and floor levels may not suit all guests.
*This home is in a rural area. While there is a TV and wi-fi here, please note that the reception is patchy. The mobile signal here is also very limited, though a telephone with an honesty box is provided.
*The access roads to the lighthouse site are narrow with limited passing places. There's private parking to the rear of the cottage.
