Welcoming, comfortable, convenient, well equipped and presented. Anchor Cottage is adjacent to the chain ferry linking with the sailing town of Cowes.Stunning balcony views over The Solent and River Medina are perfect for watching the vibrant maritime scene. Newly refurbished bathroom 2020 and extensive - decoration The cottage is located right by the river so you can relax in this coastal setting and enjoy the constant marine activity with fantastic views over the passing yachts from either balcony. The cottage includes one double bedroom, one small bunk-bed room, lounge/diner with views over the river, kitchen and one bathroom. There is also one designated off road parking space for an average sized vehicle. No camper vans or pickups. Hop on the chain ferry next door to be in the famous sailing town of Cowes in moments where you can enjoy the extensive range of shops, restaurants and pubs. Light sleepers may be aware of the chain ferry as it docks. It operates from early morning until midnight. This is a perfect base for your Isle of Wight holiday. Close to Waitrose and Co-op stores for food and domestic supplies. Plenty of good local eateries if you prefer to eat out.
I lived on the Isle of Wight for very many years before moving away in 2020 Anchor Cottage is now our holiday home and Island base. With my husband Paul I enjoy sailing as do our two sons now both working away. The Isle of Wight is a wonderful place and as you step off the ferry you feel a sense of stepping back in time. You can leave behind the bustle and pace of the Mainland and enjoy Island life. We have been welcoming holiday visitors to Anchor Cottage for over 16 years and seen many regular visitors. I hope we can entice you to visit us and enjoy the delights of our beautiful island.Please do not hesitate to get in touch and we will ensure your stay is a comfortable one!

The Isle of Wight is a popular holiday destination throughout the year. The Island boasts endless stretches of natural beauty and offers all the elements needed for a great day out in the countryside. With 57 miles of award winning sand and shingle beaches from the golden sands at Appley to the dramatic cliffs at Compton, no trip to the island is complete without exploring the coastline and taking in the fresh sea air. The Downs offer spectacular walks and provide breathtaking views over the Island. The Tennyson Trail traverses the top of the downland ridge leading you to the famous Needles Lighthouse on the western tip of the Island. This trail not only offers outstanding views over the uninterrupted countryside but also of both the Solent and English Channel. If the weather turns particularly British, visitors can either settle down in a cosy pub by the fire or can visit the many attractions on offer, such as: Robin Hill Country Park, Blackgang Chine, Amazon World, Sandown Zoo, The Owl and Monkey Haven, The Garlic Farm, Chessell Pottery, The Steam Railway and many more.... Leave your car behind and use the local buses to explore the Island.
