Description
Tucked away in the tranquil coastal village of St. Lawrence, The Old Post Office is a beautifully reimagined, single-story retreat designed for effortless relaxation. Just a short, scenic stroll from the pebbled shores of Woody Bay Cove, this charming cottage perfectly blends historic character with modern boutique luxury. Spend your mornings sipping coffee on your patio before exploring the dramatic Isle of Wight coastline. After a day of sea air, return to a
bright, open living space to unwind, then sink into a luxurious
super-king-size bed. It is the ultimate hidden gem for a peaceful, stress-free seaside escape. Why you’ll love your stay: Coastal Proximity: The hidden Woody Bay cove is only 0.2 miles from your doorstep. Effortless Comfort: A seamless single-level layout featuring an ultra-refreshing air-conditioned lounge and a contemporary walk-in shower. Private Outdoor Space: A beautifully furnished patio garden made for morning brews and starlit dinners. Seamless Travel: Includes dedicated off-road parking and exclusive property-owner discounts on ferry crossings. Set across a single-storey layout, this neatly arranged holiday home is well-suited to couples or friends looking to spend their time close to the coast while enjoying a practical, thoughtfully planned base. From the moment you arrive, there is a sense of ease to the space, with everything arranged on one level and the garden offering an instant invitation to step outside with a morning coffee or an evening drink. Inside, the kitchen is equipped for laid-back self-catering, with an electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge with icebox, dishwasher, coffee maker, kettle, and toaster ready for slow breakfasts, picnic preparations, or suppers after a day out. The living and dining room creates a natural hub for the stay, whether that means lingering over meals, settling in with the television, or simply taking a pause between outings. When the day draws to a close, there are two well-presented bedrooms to choose from: a super-king-size with zip and link flexibility, and a double. A shower room with a walk-in shower completes the interior. In St. Lawrence the nearby coastline encourages relaxed days by the sea, whether you follow the shoreline or pause at points to take in the views. The Ventnor Botanic Garden offers an appealing nearby visit, with its unique microclimate supporting a wide variety of plant life. Steep Hill Cove provides a tucked-away coastal spot with a distinctive setting, perfect for those looking to explore beyond the main beaches. A short journey brings you to Ventnor, where Ventnor Beach, Ventnor Park, and the Isle of Wight Coastal Path provide plenty to discover. Heading further, Shanklin offers Shanklin Chine, Rylstone Gardens, and its sandy beach, while Godshill is known for the Model Village, All Saints Church, and traditional thatched cottages. Wherever the day leads, The Old Post Office makes a welcoming base on the Isle of Wight.

What guests are saying
We arrived on a dull rainy day, the hosts had put on the heating and lights, it was so welcoming.
Wine, snacks and milk in the kitchen, a lovely touch, thank you! Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need… a selection of games too. Beds super comfy. Great location for exploring, plenty of walks locally if you didn’t want to drive. We would without hesitation stay there again and highly recommended. Thank you for a great stay Sharon and Pete, you have thought of everything.
This property is an absolute diamond, it has been tastefully remodelled from a shop and post office into a beautiful little two bedroom cottage, located in a quiet area it has charm and so very comfortable, Sharon has thought of everything, even a lovely welcome pack, we will definitely return.
We were two senior ladies taking a week away and booked the Old Post Office.
After earlier prompt contact with the owner re ferry booking discount we arrived and were not disappointed.The Old Post Office was a delightful single story holiday home with the owners living close by so any questions were very quickly answered. The accommodation was absolutely spotless! Comfy beds, well fitted kitchen and spacious lounge/dining area and parking for a car. Plenty of walks nearby and easy access into Ventor where buses are frequent to the rest of the Island. We had a great week and would thoroughly recommend this delightful place.
