Woodpeckers - Self Catering Holiday Cottage, East Cowes Isle of Wight

WOODPECKERS is a real home from home Victorian terraced cottage with the added bonus of a heated swimming pool.

It is situated in the village of Whippingham, and is an ideal base from which to visit the many attractions, the wonderful scenery, the rugged coast and sandy beaches that the Island has to offer.
Visit the many places of historical interest, including Osborne House, Queen Victoria’s retreat.
Alternatively relax in the pretty south facing cottage garden, or swim in the pool. You may on occasion share the use of the pool with our adjacent cottage Springside.
Woodpeckers was once owned by Queen Victoria & Prince Albert, who designed many of the estate cottages. The cottage was home to staff of Osborne. Built in 1845, the cottage has just recently been completely renovated and although modern conveniences expected in a quality holiday cottage have been installed, many original features have been retained in order to keep the Victorian character intact.
The village of Whippingham is famous for its church, again designed by Prince Albert, and is close to Cowes, the well known yachting centre. There are excellent pubs and restaurants within a mile, and regular public transport covers the whole island.

The cottage is close to country and woodland walks, including the riverside walk to Newport, the Isle of Wight County town.

The Woodpeckers garden is private, and separate from the pool garden. Garden furniture is provided. There is seating on the decking or in the arbour, from where you can watch the varied wildlife including the red squirrels, which come to feed each day.

There is private off road parking for two cars.

Each weekly turnover is personally undertaken by the owners, ensuring that the highest standard of care and cleanliness is maintained. All services, gas, electricity, smoke alarms etc are fully tested and certificated.
