We attended a very cold Easter wedding at Appuldurcombe House and stayed at The Gate House.. It was clean, warm and tastefully decorated, with a wood-burning stove for extra cosiness in the evenings. Our dog enjoyed her morning walks straight out of the cottage door into the beautiful grounds of Appuldurcombe House, bursting with primroses and wild garlic. At night the stars looked beautiful in the black sky. The whole cottage is tiny, with a very small kitchen and bathroom, so not ideal for people who want to do lots of cooking, but perfectly adequate for the odd meal in. leaving time to enjoy some of the really nice pubs and restaurants nearby - such as the Spyglass at Ventnor, The Crab and Lobster at Bembridge and The Bandstand and Sandown. For people who enjoy a shower, there is only a bath. We really enjoyed our stay in this sweet little cottage.
