About Pomone
Right on top of the cliffs at Totland Bay this two bedroom cottage has uninterrupted sea views.Patrol the seas in this former coastguard cottage. Pomone is one of three houses that perch high on the cliffs of Totland Bay, surrounded only by sea views, sheer chalk cliffs and open downland.
You’ll be living on the edge as a shared grassed area is the only thing between the two-bedroom cottage and the cliff-edge. You’ll be able to enjoy lunch with uninterrupted views or dinner against a cracking sunset.
Form here you can walk along the Needles Headland for a glimpse of the strange chalk stacks that rise from the sea, looking out for rabbits and wildflowers that grace the grassland. Or you could cruise along the coastal road for one of the island’s best surfing beaches and fossil haven, Compton Bay.

Notes for guests
Access: This access statement is for guidance only. For up to date photos, please see those images in the main website page.
Heating: Night storage heating included.
Parking: There is a parking area adjacent to the row of cottages.
Access: The road up to the cottage is steep and winding in parts. Access may be difficult in adverse weather conditions.
The bedroom and bathroom are on the ground floor but the cottage may not be suitable for wheelchair users.
Garden: There is a shared grassed area to the front of the cottages.
Children should be supervised as the garden is not enclosed and the cottages are within 5 minutes walk from the cliffs edge.
Utilities: Water is regularly pumped uphill to a holding tank at these cottages. There are also individual tanks above each cottage. If there is very high usage all at once this can drain the tanks and you will need to wait for them to refill before water is again available. It is therefore best to spread baths out over the day.
Washing machine and tumble dryer is provided in a a shared utility area.
Logs/charcoal: Additional logs can be purchased in advance through the contact centre. Logs are £4.50 per bag or £20 for unlimited access to the log store.
Offers: Guests will have free access (during opening hours) to all Isle of Wight National Trust properties. Please take your holiday confirmation invoice as proof of eligibility to gain entry.
Please note: these cottages are in a very exposed position. In periods of high winds car doors may slam and debris may be blown around, for this reason the picnic benches have had to be removed.
