Anchor Cottage - a house that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Welcoming, comfortable,convenient,well equipped and well presented. The Cottage is adjacent to the chain ferry linking with the sailing town of Cowes.
Stunning balcony views over The Solent and River Medina perfect for watching the vibrant maritime scene
Located right on the river so you can relax in this coastal setting and enjoy the constant marine activity with fantastic views over the passing yachts from either balcony.
The cottage includes one double bedroom, one small bunk-bed room, lounge/diner with views over the river, kitchen and one bathroom. There is also a designated off road car parking space for one vehicle right outside the front door
The Esplanade stretches the length of the beach and on the opposite side there is a green, an adventure playground and paddling pool and a café selling a variety of food and beverages, which is also a great vantage point to watch the spectacle of boats and yachts as they navigate Cowes Harbour and pass through The Solent.

Osborne House, Queen Victoria's family home, is a must visit whilst on the Island and is one of the most popular tourist attractions on the Isle of Wight. After first visiting Osborne, England's longest-reigning monarch wrote: 'It is impossible to imagine a prettier spot'.

Within a couple of minutes walk of the property there is a couple of great restaurants, an Indian (Taste of India) and an Italian (Prego) and for more 'every-day' family dining, a short walk to East Cowes Marina you will find the Lifeboat, which boasts an elevated, west facing deck from where a meal or a drink can be enjoyed in the sun, overlooking the marina and the variety of stunning boats in it berths.

The Cottage is close to the chain ferry* about 50 metres, which is a convenient link with Cowes taking foot passengers and vehicles between the hours of 6am and midnight. It operates using chains which do rattle a bit and also noise from the ramp being lowered. Light sleepers may find this a bit noisy. So please take this into account when choosing Anchor Cottage. Most of our guests are fascinated and enjoy watching this piece of maritime history ply its trade.

If you want enjoy a true Cowes experience, chose Anchor Cottage!

The cottage was exactly as described, clean and welcoming and in an amazing location. Having parking outside your door was a real bonus and the views are fantastic if you want to experience life on the busy estuary and Cowes harbour. The property is a great base to enjoy all that the beautiful IOW has to offer. The cottage details very honestly inform you that there is noise from 5am until late at night that comes from the 'workings'/activity of the very usefull/crucial Floating Bridge which is located immediately next door to the cottage. The chains etc do make a lot of noise as the bridge arrives and departs, but after 24hrs or so we became so used to it we hardly noticed it anymore. If I had to make one very minor criticism it would be that the towels could be replaced or even bettter, a different method of washing and DRYING them could be found to revive and soften them up a bit, they have lost their fluffyness and are a bit hard. That is honestly the only negative thing I have to say about this unique property.
