Kipper Cottage - a bungalow that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Situated in an enviable location overlooking Wootton Creek, Kipper Cottage provides comfortable and very well presented accommodation for 4 people. The cottage benefits from ensuites to both bedrooms and French doors leading from all principal rooms to the charming rear garden with decked area enjoying Creek views. Situated down a country no-through road, the cottage would make an ideal holiday retreat for couples, families, walkers and cyclists alike. Woodside Beach is within easy walking distance. You can also enjoy a glass of wine on the deck by the chalet on the water's edge. It has it's own pontoon and slipway for your use. Victoria Yacht Club is opposite on the creek and welcomes temporary visitors.
Kipper Cottage is only a 10 minutes drive from the Wightlink Fishbourne car ferry terminal, for those travelling over from Portsmouth. Alternatively the Red Funnel vehicle ferry arrives into East Cowes, only 15-20 mins away by car.

East Cowes is famous for Osborne House, home of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Osborne Golf course, Marina, Heritage Centre and various sports and leisure activities.
If you enjoy walking, Firestone Copse is an attractive area of forest located very close by, and noted for its wide-ranging tree species, from oak to soaring spires of Grand Fir. You can follow one of the trails that criss-cross through the forest, winding down to the still waters of Wootton Creek.

The tranquil Benedictine Monastery Quarr Abbey is close by and welcomes visitors to its tea garden for afternoon tea and cake, or lunch, using some of the monks very own locally produced ingredients. You can learn about the monastic life at the Visitor Centre, view exhibitions by local artists and feed the resident pigs with special food purchased in the on-site farm shop.
Nearby Isle of Wight Steam Railway is a great day out for the family, taking a ride from Wootton on a vintage steam train to Havenstreet station. There is a Discovery Centre, museum, cafe and childrens' play area.

The Victorian town of Ryde is approximately 15 mins drive away and is the second major town on the Island. It has a long and accessible sandy beach from Ryde to Appley and on to Puckpool. This popular resort town offers a range of holiday facilities, catering for all interests and ages. Seaside attractions include a mini fun-fair, bowling alley, ice rink and much more, all spanning Ryde seafront. The Esplanade has a tidal harbour where children can enjoy crabbing and watching harbour activities. There is also a boating lake where you can hire pedalos in the Summer months. The bustling town centre offers a variety of shops, bars, pubs, restaurants and cafes.

Lovely Cottage

A fabulous cottage. We were delighted with the location, and how well equipped the cottage was. The cabin by the creek was lovely and also a surprise as to how well it was equipped. We had planned to use this as a base whilst visiting places around the island, but cut some trips out so we could send more time in the cottage, garden and cabin.

A little bit of heave

Peaceful location, beautiful views from the house of boats and the tide coming in and going out, red squirrels in garden. Well designed property and extremely tastefully decorated.

Cottage? More like a bungalow!! Soooo spacious!! Beautiful property. Very clean. You also have the use of the summerhouse to watch the boats and comings and goings. Very relaxing and quiet!

Easy to book and very enjoyable

Everything was super easy, from the ferry booking, to checking in and out. The cottage was great, lots of little touches, fresh flowers, chocolate, coffee etc. Alison at Island Holiday Homes was very helpful and provided recommendations of some nice restaurants activities and walks. I believe it makes a real difference that the booking agent knows the area and is clearly from the island. great stay (despite the weather).

Perfect place for a relaxing break.

Returned home yesterday after a fabulous week in Kipper Cottage (2 couples and a dog). The cottage was everything we expected and more. Extremely well equipped with everything we needed and things we didn’t know we needed. Beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean with fresh flowers on arrival. Plenty of space for 4 adults. The garden was dotted with hidden ornaments, log seats and a bench, much less steep than we had expected. The gem of all of this was undoubtably the chalet ‘at the bottom of the garden’ again fully equipped with delightful touches like the old ship sink. We spent much of our mornings breakfasting and evenings with a bbq and glass watching the activity of local boats and the ferry. Tesco express, takeaways, and a lovely eatery and bar Cibo close by. Thank you Anne for this beautiful holiday rental.

What a find!

A beautiful place to stay with views over the estuary, and down the garden a summer house where you can relax away from it all. This is certainly the best accommodation we have stayed in, and we’ve been to a lot! Super comfortable bed and all mod cons, what else is there to need in a perfect week in April? We will certainly be back but it’s very popular so best to book early!

Lovely little hideaway

We had a wonderful week here and found it a perfect base for exploring the whole island. The cottage itself was so pretty and had almost everything we could have wanted (the lack of dishwasher was a minor point but we knew before we booked so was not an issue). We couldn't find points in either bathroom for charging electric toothbrushes - so guests may need to bring an adaptor or a manual brush for their stay - again not a big problem. The gardens are lovely to wander through and down to the summer house which gives a superb view over the water and is a tranquil spot to sit. Again, it is well equipped to save keep going back to the cottage - a nice touch! Once the main gate was closed we found the whole property to be completely dog friendly and our two small terriers thoroughly enjoyed exploring the outside space. The cottage is tucked away down a quiet, private lane and it is hard to believe that you are only about 10 minutes drive from the ferry - such a perfect location and beautiful setting. We would have no hesitation in recommending Kipper Cottage to anyone and may well be back again ourselves...

What an amazing location

We stayed at Kipper Cottage for a week in August and it lived up to expectation. Wonderfully secluded location whilst still being close to the local shops and only a stone's throw from the Ferry. Every comfort provided even down to the welcome tea facilities which were well received! The best bit of the house was of course the summerhouse by the creek and we ate there every night. On the days the weather was good we were able to enjoy fishing and crabbing, though had more success with the crabs! The garden is beautiful but steep when walking back up after an evening by the creek. Good parking area outside the house. Just a five minute walk to the secluded cove where we were able to swim and walk the dogs. All in all a really relaxing holiday and we hope to return again.

first week away during covid

an excellent cottage in a quiet picturesque location. the lack on close shopping and good level takeaways is the reason for my score of 4. The reason for my 4 score on condition was that the cottage key code system box did not work when we got there and had to be replaced. The 4 on Comfort is down to the fact that there were no instruction of how to work the basic night stores heating system switches or dials or the cooker hob or microwave. There were numerous instruction book, however many applied to devices that were not installed.

Secret hideaway for the isle

A perfect hideaway for the Isle of Wight. Perfect location and views. Having your own jetty and beach hut to go fishing/crabbing was magical for the family. So dog friendly with enclosed garden. Would stay again. Have to provide own baby cot and high chair but was not a problem for us.

Our little bit of heaven

We stayed at Kipper Cottage in June and September 2018. We loved it so much that we have just come back from our June 2019, stay. We just love it, walking into the cottage was like coming home. Looking forward to our stay in September again.

Didn't want to come home!

4 of us stayed plus Jack the dog. Accommodation was excellent, with a lot of little personal touches. Loved it. Also have the summer house at the bottom of the garden, looking out to the Creek. Loved watching the birds and the ferry. Many hours spent crabbing at high tide. The weather was fantastic, couldn't have asked for more. Enjoyed it so much, we are going back in September.
