  • "I was attending a course at UKSA and wanted a little more space that staying on the campus."

    Seagull's Perch was the perfect choice. I loved it there, it had everything I needed, was close to town, exceptionally clean and Sarah was fabulous to deal with. I'd love to stay again one day.

    Only suggestion is that a 2nd key would be helpful; esp because the Key Safe is a bit fiddly.

  • "Excellent holiday ,but towels were rather hard and old!"

    Also a hair dryer would be great!

    Thank you for your review Sheila. I'm sorry you thought the towels were hard and old. They aren't that old at all and were probably a bit over dried in the warm sunshine. We do provide a hair dryer which can be found in a drawer in the front bedroom. Other than that we are glad you enjoyed your stay and we are always there to answer any queries you have during your stay. Thank you again for staying at Seagull's Perch. Property Owner

  • "The cottage was lovely with a beautiful garden to sit and have meals and morning coffee."

    It is very well equipped for cooking meals with all necessary pots pans etc. Beds were comfortable and all decor well maintained. Lovely powerful shower to wake you in the morning. So close to ferry and buses almost outside front door to take u over the island. My sister and I very much enjoyed our stay and would most definitely book again if we wanted a return visit. A lovely touch leaving us milk in the fridge and homemade shortbread, thank you!!

    Thank you for your feedback and lovely comments. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "A really lovely place to stay, beautifully kept, spotlessly clean & comfortable, well equipped."

    Peaceful sheltered garden & suntrap patio. Perfect situation, easy access to town & shops, on a main bus route. Parking can be a bit awkward, but we coped alright & the owner was most helpful. She kindly checked we had found all was okay on arrival & quickly returned my husbands sun glasses we'd left behind....and left muffins for us!

    Thank you for your kind review. Glad you enjoyed your holiday. Property Owner

  • "We have just had a very enjoyable 4 nights stay at Seagulls Perch."

    The accommodation was very clean and comfortable and an ideal base for a holiday with no car. The house is very conveniently located for the ferry terminal and is also served by an excellent bus service. We went to the islands main attractions using a 48 hour Rover and Breezer mobile ticket. Cowes town centre was a 10 minute walk with very convenient shops and a good variety of pubs and restaurants. This was our first time visiting the Isle of Wight, it certainly won’t be the last.

    Thank you for your review. Property Owner

    Everything you need clean comfortable. For older people the stairs are a bit steep but manageable and parking is a bit hit and miss no the owners fault. A lovely stay hopefully will be back.

    Thank you for your comment. Glad that you enjoyed your stay. I'm sorry that you found the stairs a bit steep we hope that the handrail helped. Yes it is free on street parking open to anyone, we try and help as much as we can. We will hopefully see you again sometime. Property Owner

    Very comfortable and a nice welcome from the owner, who was flexible about arrival times. Also very good communication. The only downside was that it was very difficult to park near the house.

    Exceptionally clean and really cosy. The owner has thought about the personal touches to make it a home from home. It was a fantastic base to explore the whole island and only a 5 minute walk into Cowes for great restaurants and shops. As a family we would recommend.

The property

Resting at the heart of the bustling seaside town of Cowes, Isle of Wight, lies this delightful, two-bedroom holiday home, Seagull's Perch.

Perfect for families, this charming property enjoys fantastic positioning to nearby amenities, well-presented living areas, providing everything you and your loved ones will need for a relaxing, self-catered getaway.

The property is conveniently situated a short walk from the ferry terminal and there is a bus stop just a few doors down with a regular bus service to Newport and beyond so you could leave the car at home.

Inside, be sure to make full-use of the well-equipped galley-style kitchen, where the chef of choice can take residence to cook up delicious, home-cooked meals for the whole family to be savoured in the tasteful dining room, complete with a quaint decorative fireplace, or perhaps in the plush sitting room, where the whole group can gather in the evenings to enjoy a film or two on the wall-mounted Smart TV.

In the morning, enjoy a hot cup of coffee on the rear decking before stepping out into Cowes to explore the local area.

Stock up on essentials at Rashley's convenience store, stop for a quick pint at The Anchor, or book a table for four at the Harbour Kitchen if you fancy being relieved of cooking duty for one evening.

If you want to see more of the island, take the short car trip to Ryde, a fellow seaside town where the attractions of Appley Park and Appley Tower can be found, as well as the lush sands of Ryde Beach.

Shanklin is also accessible by car, a quaintly-decorated coastal settlement with Shanklin Beach and the Pirates Cove & Jurassic Bay Adventure Golf providing all the activity required for a fun-filled, family day out!

Whisk your loved ones away for a trip to remember by booking Seagull's Perch.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

COWES

Newport 5 miles; Ryde 12 miles; Shanklin 14.5 miles; Ventnor 15.4 miles; Freshwater 13 miles.

The bustling port of Cowes is situated by the mouth of the river Medina, and is divided into two distinct towns, linked by the regular floating bridge chain ferry. Both communities have much to offer visitors, with West Cowes known as a world famous yachting centre, with superb facilities for all kinds of watersports, as well as being considered the cycling gateway to the island with the National Cycle Route 23 running through it. It also has a beach and a wealth of excellent restaurants, inns, and plenty of interesting niche shops; there is something for everyone with a fabulous vibe. East Cowes is best known for Osborne House, Queen Victoria’s Italian style country retreat - a tour of the sumptuous royal apartments and magnificent gardens is a must. Cowes is an ideal base for exploring the rest of the island, such as sandy beaches, lovely walking country, picturesque chines and many family attractions such as the The Needles and the Isle of Wight music festival.
