Enjoy a holiday in the centre of seaside Bembridge in our award winning cottage

Winter or high Summer, sun, snow, wind or rain, you can have a great break at Drayton Cottage, in lovely Bembridge on the Isle of Wight. Expect fluffy duvets, dog treats and vintage detail.

Proud to win the Tested by Tots 2021 holiday let award we welcome couples and families to the cottage.

Let your car gather dust on the cottage drive, big enough for a large 4x4 and relax.

You can walk to the beaches in less than 10 minutes, you can easily stroll to a pub, cafe or restaurant in less than 5 minutes, or you can stay right at home and enjoy the gorgeous,quiet, sunny garden with comfy outdoor couches, barbie, dining table and chairs.

If the weather is blustery, enjoy a bracing coastal walk, followed by a relaxing soak in the bath and chill with a glass of wine and a good book in the cosy sitting room. There is a smart tv and wifi to catch up on emails. A wireless speaker for your iTunes and a lamp which charges your phone in case you leave home without a charger.

In the new kitchen you'll find all you need to cook a great meal, hob, oven, microwave etc. There is a washing machine so you don't have to go home with dirty clothes and the newly fitted bathroom is on the ground floor.

Upstairs there are the two bedrooms, one double and one twin. There is also a baby travel cot, high chair and stair gate. Linen, except for the cot, and towels are provided at no extra cost.

Dogs love the walking on the island, so if you would like to bring your family friend with you, just let me know at the time of booking.The local beaches are open to dogs all hyear.

The sunny garden is secure and has an artificial lawn so no fears about muddy feet. There is a garden shed big enough to house a couple of bikes. There is also a barbie and dining table with chairs, couches and bench. Shade is provided by a plant covered pergola.

In Bembridge you can do as much or as little as you like. You can find long interesting walks right from the front door, you can enjoy cycling trails, you can rockpool or find a quiet little sandy cove or you can simply enjoy a coffee and icecream at a nearby cafe.

Bembridge is big enough to offer local independent shops with a baker, butcher and farm shop as well as a chemist. There is an excellent chippy, Chinese restaurant, and village pubs offering a variety of food, including takeaway.This small town has everything you need with a post office and supermarket, restaurant, cafes and pubs. Small enough to be cute but big enough to supply your shopping needs without having to use the car.

Voted village of the year 2019 by Countryfile magazine readers.

If markets are your thing, Bembridge has a weekly WI market and nearby St Helens has a quirky car boot sale on the Green on Summer Sunday mornings. There is also a farmer's market in Newport.

If you are looking for exercise you could try a beach ride along Bembridge beaches in the Winter and at St Helens in the Summer. If you like yoga Ventnor Botanic Gardens has drop in classes at the centre below their excellent cafe. As well as plant sales, including magnificent agapanthus, they sometimes have art exhibitions and sales too.

Great Location
Superb location, in the heart of the village. Private parking incredibly useful. Owner very flexible on time periods and change over days. Quick response to queries as well. We had an excellent week away. One thing to note is that the stairs are quite steep (being in a cottage, not a surprise) but the more elderly or very the young might need an eye keeping on them. Property refurb is showing its age in a couple of places - but on the whole, it was excellent. Water pressure good, shower good (again, high bath a struggle for less mobile elderly people maybe). Decent cutlery and glasses/plates etc. One to visit again some time.

Love the Isle of Wight
Have stayed at various accommodation in Bembridge over the years and they have generally not disappointed. This one was the same. A great base to explore the village and the many footpaths around the area. And with biblical rain showers having a pub within two minutes walk was a bonus.

Beautifully designed house in perfect location
Bembridge is a gorgeous village to stay in, by a beautiful stretch of coastline with amazing places to eat and lovely local shops. The house was in the heart of the village and really beautiful and comfy. So a perfect place to stay on the IOW, especially if you are also bringing a dog.

Wonderful location
The property was spotlessly clean and comfortable. It was within walking distance of shops pubs and eateries all first class. The harbour ,sandy beaches, and rock pools as well as stunning views of the Solent were all within easy reach.. Parking for large cars and SUVs was very difficult we had to park on the road. The property is not suitable for some disabled people as the stairs are steep and the toilet is on the ground floor. Nebertheless I would recommend it

A great stay!
We loved our recent stay at the cottage and Marion was a great and responsive host. The cottage was clean and has been tastefully decorated throughout. Overall, it had everything we needed and more. The beds were extremely comfy and the garden was an added bonus too. The cottage is situated in a quiet road very close to local pubs, shops and other amenities. We will definitely stay again. Thank you!

Centre of village
Clean beautifully decorated property in centre of lovely village. Good local produce shops, cafes and gift shops. Can walk to a beach in 10 minutes. Easy access by car to rest of the Island. Enjoyed the quirky house. The double bed (small)very comfortable mattress. Good linen. The kitchen is small but functional. Equipment limited if cooking for a family. Pleasant garden with bbq and seating. Highchair and fitting for stairgate although didn’t actually see a gate.Dog well catered for. I didn’t ask for the address until the last minute. I should have asked for a contact number as I found I couldn’t open the key safe but the owner was very responsive to messages.

Lovely Cottage
Very cosy and well equipped cottage, right in the heart of beautiful Bembridge village. Clearly a lot of thought and effort has been made to ensure that guests have everything that they might need for the duration of their stay. We were really grateful to have a travel cot and baby bath for our 3 month old daughter. There are lots of independent cafes and shops (and a lovely village pub) all within a couple of minutes stroll from the cottage. We can’t wait to come back next summer!

Very much enjoyed our stay in the cottage with our dog, everything we needed was to hand for us in this cosy cottage plus only a minutes walk to the pub for a drink or a meal and they allow dogs inside we ate there twice also the fish and chip shop round the corner was also exellent. Used to walk to the bakery every morning for cakes to take to the beach where we went almost every day again great for dogs.Really enjoyed our stay and will be back again.

Lovely Cosey Cottage Great Location
Just returned from a fantastic weeks holiday at this lovely cottage in Bembridge, Isle of Wight. The cottage was spotlessly clean when we arrived, and had a lovely cosey feel to it, so it felt very much home from home. Enhancing this feeling is that it is bang up to date with today’s requirements with great free WiFi, interactive TV and even a wireless charging lamp in the front room. The lovely refitted kitchen was a little small but beautifully formed and had everything you could want for in a modern kitchen, as was the bathroom with its modern fresh look, and wonderful rain system shower head (as well as a regular type to use if you don’t want to get your hair wet). 2 large bedrooms one with a double bed the other 2 singles, all of which were very comfortable and certainly offered a good nights sleep. Lovely big dining room and lounge both beautifully furnished with some lovely pictures and paintings throughout the whole house, some of which were available to buy too. As for Bembridge itself what can I say other than what a lovely little village it is, a cracking local pub (about a minutes walk from the cottage) selling great ales, huge selection of Gins and absolutely gorgeous food. Then there’s the lovely traditional local shops including a Butchers, Bakery, Fishmonger, Delicatessen and lots more... There’s are some lovely places to eat too (Fox’s, The Shed, Lockslane, Lu San Chinese, The Spinnaker and a chippy) all in easy walking distance of the cottage. We will definitely be returning again one day hopefully soon.

Home from home - gorgeous cottage!
Lovely cottage with a wonderful homely feel to it and thoughtfully furnished. The garden was brilliant and a real sun trap. Great base for exploring the IOW and the beach (dog friendly) is just a 10 minute walk away. A lovely thought was leaving a basket with a dog blanket and teats etc in for our dog - little details like that make a holiday extra special. It was handy having the off street parking as the road would be tricky to park on otherwise, so a definite bonus. Bembridge itself is a great village with plenty of varied shops and places to eat. I would have no hesitation in recommending this cottage to anyone and we really hope to return there sometime.
