Accommodation overview: Cliff Cottage details
We loved this cosy, gorgeous house. This is our 5th Rural Retreats booking and was definitely the best presented and had the best hamper! CML, Windsor
Cliff Cottage is the original brick cottage of Gurnard village and is situated 60 metres from the water's edge, the beach and the island's coastal path, with an easy 2k walk along the sea front to the world famous sailing town of Cowes.
The cottage is in classic early 19th century style, detached and double fronted with a delightful kitchen garden and two additional 'secret' gardens, a summerhouse, sun terrace with outside eating patio and barbecue. The cottage has recently been fully refurbished to a high standard with all new fixtures and furniture.
Gurnard village is a very desirable location on the island and home to the island's best pub, the Woodvale, as well as the Watersedge Cafe and a dinghy sailing club. It is only a short walk to the playground, local shop, cash point, newsagent and the Little Gloster restaurant. Cowes is home to many individually styled shops, a fishmonger, butcher, artisan bakery and wine shop. In all, everything you could possibly need for a perfect getaway.
The Isle of Wight is easily accessible from the mainland from various points including Lymington, Southampton and Portsmouth.
The island has everything from beautiful hills and downs to walk or cycle, coastal paths to explore, every type of watersport possible, bike and horse trails, woodland and forests and of course beautiful beaches and bays around its Jurassic Coast.
For the grown-ups, the island boasts award-winning vineyards, a cider barn, a lavender farm, crab shacks plus the famous Garlic Farm and Minghella's ice cream!

Self catering accommodation in North Foreland Lighthouse sleeps 4.
Features include: • Romantic Breaks • Close to the Beach • Close to the Sea • Golf near by • Pub near by • Cottage Sleeps 4
Accommodation overview: Khina Cottage details
In association with Trinity House, Rural Retreats is pleased to present Khina Cottage at North Foreland Lighthouse.
Khina, with accommodation for four guests, is one of two holiday cottages available at the lighthouse, which lies on the chalk headland above the charming and unspoilt seaside town of Broadstairs at the far eastern tip of Kent. Both cottages are very child friendly, surrounded by spacious lawned grounds and set well away from cliffs.
The holiday cottages have shared use of a very large one-acre lawned garden and patio with ample space to sit out.
Places to visit in this area of Kent include Joss Bay which has an excellent sandy beach, only three minute's walk away. The nearest pub, the Digby Inn, is a 10-minute stroll and serves good food. For golfing enthusiasts, the North Foreland Golf Club is very close by.
Broadstairs has good sandy beaches and an attractive old town which has literary associations with Charles Dickens. Bleak House in the town is where Dickens lived while he was writing David Copperfield. The town holds a Dickens Festival in June each year and a popular Folk Music Week in August.
The earliest reference to a light on North Foreland was given in a deed dated 1499 and, at that time, it was almost certain that the beacon was used to warn of attack or piracy rather than as an aid to navigation. The lighthouse does not have a fog signal.
Access roads to some of the lighthouse sites are narrow with limited passing places and, dependent on the season and site, there is the possibility of overhanging vegetation due to cutting restrictions during bird breeding seasons or other environmental reasons.
Guests should be aware that the lighthouses and equipment need regular and sometimes emergency maintenance. Therefore visits by maintenance staff may occur at any time during the year. However, staff will do their best to ensure guest privacy at all times.
