Resting centrally in Cowes, a coastal town in the Isle of Wight is Beckford Cottage, a wonderful two-bedroom townhouse.
Enjoying sea glimpses across the marina and well-positioned near a bustling high street, dotted with eateries and shops, the property makes for a fabulous, self-catered base for four guests and one furry companion.
Park up on the roadside before entering the homely sitting room, where you can unwind in front of the woodburning stove after a day of adventure.
Head into the open-plan living space to rustle up delicious meals and to dine as a group, stylishly furnished with a range of appliances, or if you'd prefer some fresh air, opt for an alfresco affair upon the rear patio area.
As the night grows darker, head upstairs to select between a double and a twin bedroom, both benefitting from en-suites, offering convenience and privacy for your entire stay.
Awaken to explore Cowes, starting with brunch at Marsek’s Coffee House, before heading to explore the bustling marina, tour Cowes Maritime Museum, or brushing up on your local knowledge at East Cowes Heritage Centre, ahead of dining out for dinner at one of the many restaurants within walking distance.
Enjoy your proximity to an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty whilst heading south, stopping off at Newport, where you can enjoy a stroll along Medina Riverside Park, tour Carisbrooke Castle, hike across Carisbrooke Water Meadows, climb up Shide Quarry, or visit the Monkey Haven - Primate Rescue Centre.
Venturing further towards Shanklin, stop off at the Amazon World Zoo, ahead of exploring Shanklin Seafront or attending one of many events on at the Shanklin Theatre; further attractions across the county worth visiting include The Needles Landmark Attraction, Tapnell Farm Park, and Ventnor Botanic Garden.
Take to the Isle of Wight with Beckford Cottage as your home-from-home.
