Cosy Cottage by the Sea (1x BIG Master Double Bedroom)

Cosy cottage right by Cowes Beach (ten seconds walk) with traditional English country cottage garden with sea view

1 very large master double bedroom available with King size bed. The master bedroom has a bolt lock so is lockable from the inside.

All bedrooms & the main bathroom have a sea view

Inflatable Canoe is available too (use at your own risk but it's only 2 yrs old and has 2 lifejackets).

Patio has a Chimanea

20-minute walk from the RedJet high-speed ferry terminal. Just walk along the high street for 5 minutes then along the parade, then down the beach then your here :)

The space:

Traditional English country cottage with a lovely garden with views down to the beach and the sea (solent)

Upstairs:

Three bedrooms

- Very large Master Double Bedroom with KING SIZE bed for you, with its own sink and is also adjacent to your exclusive bathroom, so it's pretty much an 'en-suite'. The bedroom includes Mini Kettle for Tea & Coffee. Four Towels. Hairdryer. Bolt lock so is lockable from the inside.

- One smaller bedroom/study perfect for up to 2 children, adolescents or sailors, adults happy with single beds (but probably not very elderly people) since it has 2 single beds.

- One double bedroom is mine since I live here.

- Bathroom for your exclusive use, with a modern spacious shower enclosed with a screen (no bath). Sink, W.C., Airing/Drying Cupboard, Ironing board and iron. This bathroom is next door to the master bedroom and since you have exclusive use it's pretty much 'en-suite'.

Ground floor:

- Kitchen - Brand new kitchen just built with four induction hobs plus one separate big induction hob, brand new oven and a separate combined microwave/oven unit. Kettle, toaster, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.

- Dining room with 4 chairs and a chaise long.

- Bathroom Downstairs (brand new Feb23): Shower, W.C & Sink .

- Living Room with stove fireplace, available by arrangement (since this is usually my private space but happy to share).

Guest access:
This listing is officially for the Master Bedroom, Bathrooms, Dining room, Kitchen, Garden & Patio area & all listed amenities, and if you book 1 or 2 additional guests then the spare/study room too. BUT you are welcome to access/use the rest of it (living room) apart from my bedroom, since I live here.

Other things to note:
The dining room will be laid for breakfast every morning with Muesli & Corn Flakes Milk & Orange Juice, Butter etc is in the kitchen fridge & Croissants in the bread bin, Bread in the freezers bottom drawer. There's also a mini-kettle in the master bedroom with two mugs and tea bags, sugar, etc.

********** NEW FOR 2023 **********

- New!
Modern stylish kitchen with all facilities.

- New!
The downstairs corridor has been brought to the front of the house (it was at the back), so there's more light & warmth at the front of the house into the kitchen and dining room and a more natural flowing corridor from the front doorway into the hall then kitchen and then onto the dining room.

- New!
Water system, much more efficient than before, with brand new boiler & water tank/cylinder and pipes, so water is now always hot & heating heats up fast.

- New!
Downstairs bathroom, which means the main upstairs bathroom adjacent to the master bedroom is now essentially 'en-suite' for the sole use of guests.

- New!
Gravel Pathway.

- Newly!
Decorated Master Bedroom & Dining Room & misc improvements & adjustments, such as making the master bedroom lockable from the inside

- New!
Carpets on the stairs & the upstairs hall/corridor (downstairs carpets have all been machine cleaned).

- New!
The garden patio wall has been rebuilt and re-painted & the patio paving stones have been pressure-washed clean.

- New!
New smoke & CO2 alarms have been fitted as well as a full gas safety inspection, resulting in achieving the CP12 Gas Safety Certification.

I have some Red Funnel Car Ferry Discount codes/vouchers (20% off) available for guests who book 3 or more nights. Just send me a message after you have booked to stay here requesting discount codes and ill reply with the code asap.

Very cozy stay
We had an excellent stay in Dan’s home. He provided excellent suggestions for places to eat and sites to see. The bed was super comfortable and the area was quiet which allowed for superb sleep. Would stay here again.

An absolute gem of a property. Hidden away from the town centre, but easy enough to walk to. Beautiful period cottage, with a great vibe. Dan is a great host, friendly, helpful and organised. Staying here made our week.

Home from home.
The kindest and most hospitable of hosts. Dan was like a long lost friend and nothing was too much trouble for him. Pour llast evening was served over a bottle or two of wine and the stories flowed with inexplicable shared experiences. We will definitely be staying in touch. We will most certainly be recommending a stay here. Thank you Dan for everything. Colin and Lyn X

Cowes Excellent
Dans the perfect host, very accommodating and a relaxed atmosphere. His guest room is wonderful and bright. Love the big windows for gazing out with my coffee in the morning and listening to the birds. Just a short walk down the parade “paved path” along the shoreline to town. Sailors this is the spot for you. Quaint town with plenty of Shops and Pubs. Loving it. Be sure to bring you walking shoes. It was a great choice.

Absolutely incredible:-)
I cannot rate Dan and his wonderful cottage highly enough. Characterful, cosy, delightfully and tastefully decorated and so homely, it was just wonderful to arrive to and we didn't want to leave! Amazing situation so close to the centre of Cowes yet so quiet and peacefully tucked away with a gorgeous garden and overlooking the beach. Dan's communication and help prior to booking and arriving was outstanding and his attention to detail and little touches were simply the best we have ever experienced in any holiday property. A table laid for breakfast, stove ready to be lit and it was all so clean and tidy and welcoming. Many many thanks and we hope to be back!

Our stay for three nights was most enjoyable. Dan made us very welcome and his hospitality and friendliness were top notch. The location suited our needs for the Red Funnel ferry, bars and facilities brilliantly. Many thanks Dan for all your help.

Large bedroom in a charming seaside house
We spent 4 great days at Dan's who was so welcoming and friendly. The bedroom is very big and the bed is so comfy. Dans provides some cereals, croissants, orange juice and hot drinks every morning. Another perk was that we could use the kitchen and cook our meals, or take an already prepared salad on the table outside to enjoy the sun in the garden. Cherry on the cake: Dan has got a kayak we used to paddle along the coast which was fun. We practised our English over a drink on our last night.
