Notes for guests

Accessibility: This access statement is for guidance only. For up to date photos, please see those images in the main website page.  The bedroom and bathroom are on the ground floor but the cottage may not be suitable for wheelchair users.

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.

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.

Ferries: We recommend that if you are travelling to the Isle of Wight, you should book the ferries early due to the excessive bookings at holiday periods. There are currently three options available depending on your preferred route:

1) Wightlink Ferries - www.wightlink.co.uk. National Trust Holidays guests receive a 10% discount with Wightlink ferries between Lymington and Yarmouth, Portsmouth and Fishbourne and the catamaran between Portsmouth and Ryde (foot passenger service only).  Follow this link to access Wightlink's booking system. The discount is applied once you have selected the crossing times.

2) Red Funnel Ferries - www.redfunnel.co.uk Travel Southampton/East Cowes.

3) Hovertravel - www.hovertravel.co.uk – foot passenger hovercraft service only from Portsmouth to Ryde

Bike sheds: There are two bike sheds that are shared with Irex and Varvassi. The smaller shed holds two bikes and the larger shed holds four.

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.
