Cottage in Isle of Wight

Holiday Rental Description

This is an area abundant with wildlife including frogs, newts and ducks in the pond the garden overlooks. A wide range of birdlife, including woodpeckers, sparrow hawks, buzzards and pheasants can be seen. Red squirrels, foxes and badgers are also frequent visitors to the gardens. There is a large ancient woodland area which blooms with bluebells each spring. This is wonderful walking and cycling area, and you can follow the course of the river towards the market town of Newport with its small harbour, arts centre, shops and the mediaeval castle of Carisbrooke. The opposite route takes you to Cowes, the famous sailing centre with excellent restaurants and boutique shops. Nearby is Osborne House, the island home of Queen Victoria.
