Apple Tree Cottage

Apple Tree Cottage is a restored Grade II listed property at the end of a village terrace in Northcourt, close to local shops, a post office and a pub. The ground floor holds a sitting room with Freeview TV and DVD player, a kitchen/dining room with electric range and dishwasher, a sun room, utility room and separate toilet. Upstairs are two bedrooms—one with a double bed, one with two singles—and a bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower cubicle. The cottage sleeps four and comes to you alone; essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are covered, along with a travel cot and highchair if needed.

An enclosed, raised garden runs along the property, furnished with seating and a barbecue, with a summerhouse for shelter. One dog can stay at no extra cost. The setting suits families or groups wanting a base on the Isle of Wight, where footpaths crisscross the island—it has more per square mile than any other English county. Nearby are beaches with golden sand, The Needles rock formations, woodland walks, and villages serving cream teas. Note that the garden has 16 steps and a sloping bank. The drive is on road parking. No smoking inside.
