Description
Primrose Cottage is a delightful, Victorian home nestled in the traditional countryside village of St. Helens, Isle of Wight.
Perfect for families, Primrose Cottage combines both a character feel with a contemporary interior, as well as being positioned perfectly for those seeking a countryside escape as well as a coastal one.
You will be greeted by the Victorian stained-glass door, welcoming you to your new holiday escape.
Roam through to the kitchen/dining room, where dinner parties and quality time with your family await.
The kitchen is not shy of amenities needed to serve up delicious new dishes, with a separate living space to curl up on the sofa watching television afterwards.
Or, if you are feeling competitive, be sure to choose one out of the many board game selection to perfectly tie in the night surrounded by your loved ones.
Have a scrub in the free-standing bathtub, or a long rinse in the large wet room, before choosing one out of the three bedrooms; a ground-floor twin, an upstairs bunk room and a double, all of which boast a light and airy feel awaiting sleepy heads.
Leaving the patio doors open from the living room, venture outside with the family with plenty of seating to contemplate how you will spend the next day.
On warmer days when the kitchen can wait, be sure to get the tongs out and utilise the barbecue, accompanied by your favourite drink to go with it.
With a locked shed perfect for bikes or water sporting accessories, sun loungers to relax on warmer months, as well as a sheltered seating area so you do not overheat, there is everything and more in the garden to make it hard to leave!
The Isle of Wight has many attractions, all of which are not out of reach; the peaceful beach options are endless and are what the island is famous for.
Priory Beach, Duver Beach and Bembridge Beach, to name a few, all await sandcastle-making, rock-pooling and water sports.
For those seeking to try something new, hire a horse ride at Duver Beach and take in the idyllic scenery.
If you want to try kayaking for the first time, Brading Yacht Club is right at your doorstep and offers plenty of activities like sailing and paddle boarding.
Cachalot Charters is also within walking distance, ideal for fishing fanatics, they offer many different Mackerel trips, ranging from beginner to experienced anglers, catering to your needs.
The hiking and walking routes around are endless; the beaches all link across a coastal path.
For a challenging walk at low tide, head to St Helen’s Sea Fort and explore this historical landmark from the outside.
Tie in the evening with fish and chips on the harbour, or check out one of the restaurants right at your doorstep; The Vine Inn for traditional pub grub, or Ganders, offering plethora of dishes to suit your palate.
With the local village green right up the road, it has an old English-style community feel, often hosting many fetes, car boot sales, cricket and football matches.
Your Island break is just at the click of your fingertips, with amazing memories to last a lifetime at Primrose Cottage.

We spent a week in Primrose cottage.
There was plenty of space and the cottage was comfortable and clean. Thanks for the milk and biscuits much appreciated. The garden must have been absolutely beautiful when first done like a surprise was around every corner. Sadly it is very overgrown now. Just a couple of things, i think the steps from bedroom to landing up stairs and steps into the bathroom should be put in the description of the cottage as for us they were a bit difficult , also blind in the lounge was not working and the small lamp by this window also was not working. we did try a new bulb but i think it has something to do with the wiring. There was everything you could need in the cottage and the area was very nice. This is the first time we have been to St Helens and we liked it. Thank you
Primrose Cottage is in a great location for us, just off the beaten track and offering good walking, swimming and riding opportunities.
Accommodation is comfortable and clean. The house is nicely furnished and is well equipped. It was good to have milk and biscuits and other little basics available. Good south facing patio area. The garden is a bit neglected, not a problem for us, but the covered deck area base is in need of repair and maintenance and not really usable. The wet room bathroom is a super facility but caution is needed when showering and bathing. No shower screen enclosure or handrails. Leak on bath outflow also made floor wet.
We really enjoyed our week at Primrose Cottage.
It is a great location. I was unable to use the coffee machine. Could be my simply not understanding it but maybe needed some attention. I also did not find any oven gloves. But I was very impressed with the amenities at the property and the thoughtful supply of a pint of milk and cookies on our arrival. Our granddaughter loved the games cupboard, books, and the bunk bed room, not forgetting the crabbing supplies!
