About this property
An impressive Isle of Wight retreat; this Wootton Creek waterfront holiday cottage offers the best of all worlds to groups of friends and extended families planning coastal adventures together. Just 3.5 miles from Ryde and 4.5 miles from Cowes (via Cowes 2 min chain ferry), it overlooks (with access to) the scenic Wootton Creek, where you can watch the boats drift in and out on the tide from the Solent, and even take to the water yourself on your dinghy, canoe or paddle board.
