Situated close to central Newport and Cowes, this holiday home sits near to the water’s edge and marina which runs along the banks of the River Medina. You can take advantage of this unique location with moorings available to rent (at cost, by prior arrangement with the marina). Nearby is a popular restaurant which produces home-cooked meals from fresh, local produce and has a delicious choice of daily specials.
As an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a Site of Special Scientific Interest, the marina is home to many species of birds and wildlife. Meadows and woodland copses slope down to the marina’s edge. A stroll along the nature trail allows you to fully appreciate the seclusion and tranquillity of the marina site. There are further beautiful country walks, and Newport, the county town of the island, with its abundance of pubs, shops and restaurants, can be easily reached by a pleasant walk along the riverside cycle path.
There are numerous attractions across the island to discover for all ages, including The Needles, with its chairlift, amusement park, boat rides, lighthouse and coloured sands of Alum Bay. Why not visit Queen Victoria’s favourite holiday residence, Osborne House and its gardens, or Blackgang Chine, the oldest themed attraction in the UK? Ventnor Botanic Garden, Tapnell Farm Park and Carisbrooke Castle are also worth a visit, or the sailing towns of Yarmouth and Cowes will make for a good day out. Whatever you decide, one thing’s for sure, the Isle of Wight has plenty to keep you occupied. Beach 6¼ miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 500 yards.

Lovely cottage in superb situation. Very comfortable. Only criticism would be we were unable to lock the front door from the outside and both door locks were a bit tricky. Otherwise we had a good week.

High Tide is a lovely little house. 2 double bedrooms, 2 ensuites and a downstairs loo! Plenty of storage. Smart TV worked fine. Good wifi. Kitchen was well equipped, minor gripe was the rationed washing up liquid. The Cockle restaurant is a 5 minute walkaway and is very nice for dinner. There are no shops in walking distance (convenience store or paper shop). There is a pub about 20 mins walk away by the river, we didn't try it though. There lots of boardgames and books.
