Cottage in Isle of Wight Shanklin, Isle of Wight

Holiday Rental Description

To get away from it all, it s best to well get away from it all. This delightful cottage stands in a peaceful hamlet on the outskirts of Shanklin, where the starry nights are pin drop silent and the days are calm. As you can imagine, there are some fabulous country walks to explore. Yet despite this peace and tranquillity, you are far from isolated. There s a local shop within a mile and further amenities can be found in Shanklin, not to mention the golden, sandy beach. The neighbouring seaside towns of Sandown and Ventnor are only a short drive away. Peace and quiet with everything you need on your doorstep. The cottage itself is all on one floor and has all you need for a comfortable home away from home. There s a large lounge with oak floors, corner sofa and TV/DVD and a pleasant dining area. The kitchenette, which is neatly hidden behind wooden doors, contains a fridge (with ice compartment), gas hob and a combination microwave oven with grill, so don t hesitate if you fancy rustling up a meal or two. (A conventional oven is not provided). Both bedrooms one gorgeous double that opens onto a patio and one lovely twin are carpeted and there is a shower room with separate shower and WC. Adjoining the cottage is a utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer, freezer access, iron and ironing board together with a selection of books. Outside is where this cottage really comes in to its own. There is a courtyard area providing a delightful spot for al fresco dining and the garden furniture and BBQ is yours to use as you please. Follow the steps to the side of the property to an area of extensive gardens with large areas of lawn. As the gardens are south facing they catch a lot of sun.
