2 Seabreeze Cottages

The west coast of the Isle of Wight draws walkers and nature enthusiasts to its rugged cliffs and fossil-rich beaches. 2 Seabreeze Cottages sits on this stretch, positioned to catch views across the English Channel from its main rooms and the first-floor bedroom balcony. Opposite is Brighstone Bay, an unbuilt beach where fossils and preserved footprints have been discovered in the rocks.

The cottage has two bedrooms sleeping four: a kingsize on the first floor with balcony doors, and two singles upstairs. Downstairs holds the living and dining space with a TV and electric fire, plus a kitchen equipped for proper cooking with oven, hob and microwave. There is one shower room. An enclosed patio with furniture and a barbecue opens from the ground floor, and a shared garden lies beyond. Essentials including heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are provided. The property is non-smoking and welcomes children, with a cot, highchair and stairgate available.

The coastal path starts within 300 metres. Brighstone village, a 15-minute walk, has a pub, post office, museum and Norman church. Water sports are available at nearby bays, and golf courses sit inland. On-site parking for two cars means exploring without the car is straightforward.
