Enjoying superb views over the Solent with its exciting nautical action, these attractive town houses (23845, 24626 and 26214) offer stylishly presented and tastefully designed holiday accommodation which have been refurbished throughout to a very good standard. Ideal for couples or small families, they are cleverly laid out with the living areas on the first floor, leading to large private balcony areas - the ideal spot to savour the scenery of the ever-changing harbour view including the ferries, water vessels, yachts and boats sailing by. Set alongside the chain ferry which transports both car and foot passengers over to West Cowes - often referred to as ‘‘the sailing mecca of the world’ - with cobbled lanes along which various bistros, shops, boutiques, inns, cafés and restaurants can be visited. These holiday homes are conveniently placed in East Cowes, which has a selection of shops and restaurants. Visit Osborne House, Queen Victoria’s former holiday home, a splendid stately home with glorious gardens, one of the Isle of Wight’s most popular attractions. This temperate island has many sandy beaches, coves, bays, and for the outdoor enthusiast, excellent scenic walks and cycle routes, watersports, riding, golf, birdwatching and hang gliding. Various attractions for all ages include museums, a castle, garlic farm, lavender farm, water mill, the Needles rock formations, theme parks, National Trust Homes and Gardens, adventure playgrounds, donkey sanctuary, wildlife centres, pearl factory and quaint historic villages serving cream teas.
