About this property

Central Cowes Victorian Cottage. Sunny Garden, 2 baths, Ferry Discount STA.


Congratulations! You have found the most loveliest of cottages in Cowes and so central but also providing a haven of a garden, quiet and sunny - including bike stands - and a refurbished interior with such a lovely, happy feel.

A very successful holiday let cottage for over 7 years, I am a very experienced host with this lovely, homely cottage. Hope you give it a try! I also know the island very well as a resident and can provide ferry discounts Subject To Availability, so do ask me anything about things to do etc that may not be in the House Guide here.

Please note that the cost is for the use of 2 of the 3 bedrooms IF you have 4 of less people in your party. Five or more people in the booking the loft is added for free. If you desire the 3rd bedroom and are less than 4 people, this is available for your whole stay for a small charge of £100. It helps to keep costs down for those who only really want to use 2 bedrooms as the size of their party.

Newly renovated, self-Catering Cowes Cottage with 2 modern bathrooms, a BBQ sunny patio and garden plus an area to store bikes as the island is amazing to explore by bike!

Accepts one small pet ie small, well behaved dog for additional £40 per stay. Please inform me of breed and size when booking and you can walk the dog in the nearby park.

Near the Isle of Wight Coast and Cowes Beach if walking and accessible to everywhere with a car or bikes.

This wonderful end-terrace Victorian Isle of Wight coastal cottage, built by one of Queen Victoria and Albert’s Osbourne House builders to commemorate Victoria’s Jubilee, is a 4/5 minute easy walk from the bustling sailing and seaport high street of Cowes on the Isle of Wight and is situated next to the National Cycle Route 23.

Perfect for friends and family looking to explore the island or as a shore base for sailors, whilst being close to one of the islands most popular shopping and dining destinations. 117 Jubilee Cottages has been thoughtfully upgraded to a high standard for your comfort and enjoyment.

The front door opens into the cosy sitting room with comfortable seating and an Alexa activated, Smart TV, which leads through into a dining room with doors opening out into the patio garden. The galley kitchen is well-equipped - plus Smart TV - with everything you should need for your self-catering holiday, but with so many amenities right on your doorstep you may decide to leave your culinary skills at home!

Please note that the stairs in this property to the first floor are quite steep, they are called Cowes Stairs and exist in many of the older cottages built by Queen Victoria's estate.

On the first floor there are two bedrooms sharing a family shower room, with a second flight of stairs leading to a further loft bedroom (for 4 or less people staying this room is available on request for £100 per stay less than a week.. which includes a double bed and a single day bed, with 5 or more people in the booking this room is opened automatically )

The garden provides ample seating and a barbecue area, ready to enjoy the Isle of Wight’s famous microclimate and with a gate onto the side path.. it is an ideal area for cycle storage but ensure they are locked of course. Valuables are left at your own responsibility

Cowes is famous for professional sailing, especially the Cowes Week Regatta and the Round the Island Race, not forgetting its stunning Victorian architecture, boutique shops, specialist nautical shops, vibrant pubs, cafés and restaurants. Enjoy a walk from your cottage along Cowes seafront, passing the Royal Yacht Squadron along Egypt Esplanade via the pebble beach with its fabulous sea view and all the way to Gurnard. There is always some form of spectator yachting activity to be enjoyed which can be extremely exciting during one of the many yachting regattas that Cowes hosts.

If you’re experienced and the Solent calls, there are many rib and yacht hire charter companies, or if you’re a beginner then the UKSA is a perfect place to start your yachting career. This superb Victorian coastal cottage is perfectly located for year round enjoyment.

Lovely property in a great location
The property was just as described and we were very impressed. Communication from Chantal was excellent and everything from gaining access, the property itself and the location could not be faulted. The house was very clean and well appointed, with everything we needed. We would happily recommended this property and Cowes itself for a great stay on the island. Thank you to Chantal for making us so welcome.

Lovely few days in central location
We had a lovely time staying here. Chantal was very responsive to enquiries and went out of her way to accommodate us. The beds were all comfy and my 2 girls loved the loft room. A great location for walking into central cowes. We’d love to come back.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi
I am a lover of the sea and sailing, sun and travelling. I have stayed in many cottages over the years and I decided to buy a delapidated old cottage and turn it into one of the best kept secrets of the isle of wight and do it up to a high standard.

The Isle of Wight to me is a jewel of fun and family enjoyment but also for the old romantics, and Cowes is very much a great place to stay and enjoy the many and varied eateries and pubs that has attracted sailors and holiday makers for years. Easy to get to and a sailing heritage that gives you that unique experience.

A professional and successful holiday let for over 7 years its convenient location, sunny garden, strong wifi and SMART TVs (i work in the tech industry so always need these!), 2 modern bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen add up to a wonderful experience with a tried and tested letting approach and an amazing ex Super Yacht hostess housekeeper/cleaner.

Why they chose this property

Cowes Cottage gets the sun on the Patio and BBQ area nearly all day. TWO GLORIOUS BATHROOMS! Always needed when sharing !!
It is just a short walk from the high street and marina and I love that in the morning you can hear the birds in full song and yet in minutes you can be enjoying the life and soul of Cowes and of course Osbourne House, the home of Queen Victoria and subject of a recent film Victoria and Abdul, is in East Cowes just a short drive away over the Chain Ferry Bridge.
It has a very chic and comfortable feel, and provides a quiet and lovely retreat with all its new appliances and utilities.
All beds and mattresses are top of the range hotel contract beds with a medium to firm feel.
Netflix and Internet TVs for free in the kitchen and living room, great for kids and a dining area that seats 6.

What makes this property unique

It just has that real homely feeling, a place of laughter and happiness...
The garden is a real find in Cowes as it has the sun nearly all day!
The best of Britain Cycle 23 route passes just metres from the cottage.
Totally new renovation with all new furnishings and beds and bedding
Two bathrooms just really do make a difference!
Minutes from the nightlife of Cowes and to views of the sailing boats
Minutes from transport into Southampton by car or foot.
Seconds from no 1 bus route into Newport, the gateway by bus to the rest of the island, the bus service is very good on the island.
Compton Bay and Totland Bays just a short 25 min drive away
Free parking just north of the property.
