Snug, homely and filled with character, Didi’s Cottage is a freshly refurbished holiday cottage, tucked away in a quiet corner of Cowes. Set amongst a string of period properties, just behind the town’s historic boatyards, it makes a great choice for tranquil retreats whilst still being very well-connected (the High Street, ferry terminal and chain ferry to East Cowes are all just a short walk away).
At Didi’s Cottage, the heart of the home is the lounge, where the warm lighting, soft and sinkable seating and tasteful wood panelling give a nice, cosy atmosphere - ideal for settling down to watch something on the 40-inch Smart TV. You’ll also find a stylish dining room and a well-equipped kitchen next door - featuring Smeg oven, fridge, dishwasher and De’Longhi coffee machine.
Heading up the stairs, two restful double bedrooms await, decorated in calming neutral tones with a nautical nod here and there, hinting at the town’s maritime past. Workspaces are on hand (if those emails just simply can’t wait) and a smartly fitted-out bathroom is at the ready, offering a choice between freestanding bath or walk-in shower.
Stepping out the back door of Didi’s Cottage, you’ll come to the lush lawned garden and paved patio area - one of our guests’ favourite parts of the property. As one recent review put it: “Didi’s is a beautifully appointed cottage with a sunny little garden. We had a really enjoyable, tranquil holiday here, with blue skies - in January!”
Didi’s Cottage is located in a quiet cul-de-sac, in a peaceful part of town. There is on-street parking available on a first come first served basis and all parts of Cowes are within easy walking distance.
Cowes is the Isle of Wight’s nautical capital, famous for internationally renowned boat racing and a long history of shipbuilding and sailmaking. The town’s High Street is home to a sophisticated selection of independent shops and businesses - including top-notch places to dine such as Smoking Lobster, The Coast Bar, Heron at Cowes and The Garden. For those interested in all things maritime, don’t miss the brass cannons outside the Royal Yacht Squadron (fired to signal the start of many a boat race) and also the Classic Boat Museum and its collection of almost ninety historic vessels.
