Hilltop House

Cowes sits at the heart of the Isle of Wight's sailing heritage, and from Hilltop House you can reach the high street, waterfront and all its restaurants and pubs on foot. The beaches and countryside beyond are a short drive away, along with the island's other attractions. The house itself is a two-bedroom property that sleeps four: upstairs are a king bed and a double, both with an ensuite shower room and full bathroom with bath and shower. Downstairs, the living room and dining room open onto a conservatory that leads directly to the garden.

The kitchen is properly equipped for cooking—oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and coffee machine all there—and there's a washer dryer for longer stays. Wifi, heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are all included. One dog is welcome at no extra charge. The enclosed garden has decking and lawn, with garden furniture and a gas barbecue for outdoor meals, and there's parking for one car on site. No smoking indoors.
