About The Rosetta Cottages
If you’re looking for a holiday by the sea, then you can’t get much closer than this. Two holiday cottages make up this Victorian manor right on the seafront at Cowes.Two adjoining cottages sleeping a total of 16 guests.
Get the whole family together for a beach holiday in 5 bedroom Rosetta Cottage and adjoining 3 bedroom East Rosetta Cottage. Inside, it has all the charm of a 19th-century house with wooden floors, traditional fireplaces and a roll-top bath. Lounge over afternoon tea and watch the ships go by from the garden.
Walk to the nearby town and marina which comes to life in the summer with sailing boats bobbing on the waters. Or venture further along the island to Newton Nature Reserve – a quiet backwater with a busy Medieval past, now bursting with wildlife.
By staying in East Rosetta Cottage, you’ll be helping to conserve one third of the Isle of Wight’s coastline that the National Trust look after with your support.
