20 Bellevue Road

Cowes sits on the northern coast of the Isle of Wight, where the Medina River meets the Solent. The town has a working waterfront, sailing heritage, and a lively high street with independent shops and places to eat. 20 Bellevue Road is a semi-detached cottage in the centre, within walking distance of the beach and local pubs.

The property has two bedrooms—one with a double bed, one single—and two bathrooms with shower and bath. The living room has a multi-fuel burner for atmosphere, a freeview TV and DVD player. The kitchen is equipped for proper cooking with an electric oven and microwave. An enclosed decked garden area and parking permit for one car come with the place. Bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi and electricity are included; initial fuel for the burner is too.

It works well for a couple or a small family wanting to base themselves in Cowes. The rest of the island is accessible from here: Sandown pier and seafront are nearby, and the Steam Railway runs steam trains through countryside a few miles south. No smoking inside.
