Location:
Quiet road leading up from the sea with a tree-filled municipal green and small&nbsp;park including a nature reserve (including Red Squirrels)&nbsp;with walkways&nbsp;up the side of the 'Cliff'&nbsp;on one side of the road (looking out over the sea) and residential-only buildings on the other side of the road, including this one.
Cliffside has its own carport/parking space, and there are usually more on the road too (no restrictions). It's a short, nice walk along the beach and then The Parade into the town (Cowes) high street, which takes about 15 minutes and a similar length nice walk along the waters edge in the other directions towards Gurnard (including the lovely Woodvale Pub for summer sundowners).&nbsp;
 Upstairs, there are&nbsp;three bedrooms:
- Very large Master Double Bedroom with KING&nbsp;SIZE bed for you, with its own sink and is also adjacent to the upstairs bathroom, which is for your exclusive use (essentially 'en-suite').

********** NEW**********
- New!
Modern stylish kitchen with all facilities.
- New!
The downstairs corridor has been brought to the front of the house (it was at the back), so there's more light & warmth at the front of the house into the kitchen and dining room and a more natural flowing corridor from the front doorway into the Hall then kitchen and then onto the dining room.
- New!
Water mains supply pipe&nbsp;system, and replacement of old metal pipes with new plastic ones so water is as clean as it gets&nbsp;with much higher water pressure than before and&nbsp;the entire water system is generally&nbsp;much more efficient than before, also with brand new boiler and water tank cylinder and pipes, so water is now always hot and heating heats up fast.
- New!
Downstairs bathroom, which means the main upstairs bathroom adjacent to the master bedroom is now essentially 'en-suite' for the sole use of guests.
- New!
Gravel Pathway.
- Newly!
Decorated Master Bedroom and Dining Room with miscellaneous improvements and adjustments, such as making the master bedroom lockable from the inside
- New!
Carpets on the stairs and the upstairs hall/corridor (downstairs carpets have all been machine cleaned).
- New!
The garden patio wall has been rebuilt and re-painted & the patio paving stones have been pressure-washed clean.
- New!

********* Available For Hire for Filming Locations **********
Cliffside is available for hire as a filming venue/location! It has already been used as a filming location for the TV program 'Saving Lives At Sea'. Some of the brave volunteers from the local RNLI were interviewed in the dining room about the rescues they have been involved in.
Message me to discuss options and availability. This listing is officially for the Master Bedroom, Bathrooms, Dining room and Kitchen and Garden and Patio area with all listed amenities. BUT you are welcome to access/use the rest of it and also book the second bedroom for an additional fee (just choose 3 or 4 guests when you search/book). I live here, so this is my main residence, and I&nbsp;work from home, so&nbsp;currently I'm generally around and available. The Kitchen and Bathroom are obviously for full use by guests. The dining room table will be laid for breakfast every morning with both muesli and cornflakes&nbsp;on offer, and usually croissants and tea and coffee available too.

Cosy Cottage by the Sea, Master Double Bedroom BIG

Dan is an excellent host, very welcoming and happy to share his lovely house with guests.

The bedroom is large and comfortable and well equipped with comforts, as is the bathroom.

You make your own breakfast, but anything you could want was provided - we stuck to continental. 

The house is a minute from the sea and about 15 minutes to town, so a great location and very quiet. We appreciated a glass of port after returning from a night out!

Dan was unobtrusive but equally happy to give advice and talk about the house and the lovely art work.

It's a great place to stay and would also be ideal for a family of four, with a twin bedroom available as well.

A lovely Cottage in a lovely location

Where do we start?
From our inquiry until our sendoff, Dan was extremely responsive and very accommodating.
Myself and my co-grandma came to visit Cowes to be with our daughter for the birth of our first grandchild.
Upon arrival, Dan welcomed us with a kitchen stocked with a fruit basket, tea and biscuits and a full cooked breakfast. There were fresh flowers every week. During the month we were there he was constantly providing us with goodies.
The rooms were bright and spacious and well-appointed Dan had a fire set for us every evening as we were there during winter. We felt as if we were staying with family. We even cooked a big Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people and Dan had no problem letting us have our relatives over often to visit the newborn. 
It truly could not have been a better scenario for us. We will definitely come back to Cliffside Cottage.

A lovely Winter stay

My son and I had an excellent stay with Dan at his wonderful, comfortable, eclectic home just steps from the beach. Dan was the consummate host, who made sure we wanted for nothing during our stay. He had oat milk for my coffee and even went out to get my son's favourite cereal before our arrival :) which was added to our lovely breakfast. A wonderful continental breakfast is provided as well as bacon and eggs, etc. in the fridge and the guests are welcome to cook anything they want for themselves. We especially enjoyed the assortment of homemade local jams and honey. Dan is around and available, but we felt as if we had the whole house to ourselves and after my son and I walked over to the main Street (five minutes) and had a fantastic dinner (Dan recommended the restaurant!), we strolled back along the beach looking at the stars and were so happy to then tuck back into the cottage and light our own fire in the living room and watch a movie. We then went up to our very large bedroom and got a great night's sleep in the very comfy bed. It felt like a home away from home and when we had our breakfast in the dining room, I read many of the thank you cards that were on display from past guests and was in alignment with everything written. 
If you are looking to stay in a five star hotel, this is not that. This is homey, happy, easy, and a bit quirky (In a great way.) Dan's home is very clean and well looked after and has a great cozy lived in quality and feels like it is all yours. And his grandfather's paintings adorning the walls are just wonderful! At first the idea of sharing a house with just the owner (not a traditional B&B with several other guests) gave me pause, but I am so glad I wasn't deterred by this. Once we arrived, it all made sense and I was immediately put at ease. We loved our stay and it will feel like home when we return. :)

Wonderful stay :)

The location of the property is magnificent. Just steps to the beach and the boardwalk. A quick walk into town for a bite to eat or fun shopping. The bedroom is large and the bed is very comfortable. The host supplied everything needed for a perfect stay and exceeded my expectations in making me feel welcome.
