  • Characterful Grade II listed cottage in the heart of the pretty village of Godshill
  • Traditional tea rooms, popular food pubs, a vegan restaurant and interesting local shops available on the doorstep 
  • Just five miles from a choice of beaches including those at Ventnor and Shanklin
Property code: IC034

This property is located in the centre of the popular village of Godshill, within walking distance of the village’s numerous tea rooms and shops. The village has the relaxed feel of times gone by, with no chains, but instead an array of independently owned shops, specialising in a range of goods including chocolate, fossils and gems, and local cider. The island is known for its excellent choice of beaches, and the seaside village of Ventnor lies just five miles from the property. Ventnor seafront is a lovely traditional beach where visitors can hire deckchairs and enjoy icecreams from one of the numerous small shops which line the seafront. A pub at one end of the beach offers sea views and makes a great place for lunch, or just for a drink to escape the afternoon sun. 

Upon arrival at this Grade II listed characterful cottage, guests will find a choice of rooms in which they can unwind after their journey. The first of these, the main lounge, is a charming room offering a plethora of original features, including a large ornamental stone fireplace, alongside carefully chosen furnishings which complement the cottage’s period style. The Smart TV can also be found here, making it a great space to relax at the end of a busy day. A spacious conservatory provides guests with a second relaxation space: a beautifully sunny room with a flagstoned floor, a choice of seating, and access to the property’s courtyard garden. As well as the dining room, there is also some dining space in the country-style kitchen which is well-equipped with an oven, hob, microwave,dishwasher and fridge, whilst the washing machine and freezer are kept in the separate utility room. Downstairs you will also find the king-size bedroom which is accessed via a hallway and deep step off of the conservatory. Three bedrooms can be found up the cottage style staircase on the first floor. All of these are delightful double rooms, with the master bedroom benefitting from an en-suite shower room with shower and WC. The main bathroom can also be found on the first floor and offers a free-standing bath and WC. We regret that it is not possible to use the open fires

Outside, the property enjoys a small courtyard-style garden which makes a great space for enjoying alfresco dining and, comes complete with garden furniture and a BBQ. There is parking for two cars in the shared courtyard to the rear of the property, and there is additional roadside parking available on a narrow and quiet lane within a few minutes’ walk.

Comfortable, spacious and well equipped. The location is great, right at the centre of the old village. Bags of character, with the upstairs particularly giving the Wow factor. The separate kitchen, dining and sitting areas work very well. We definitely recommend Christmas Cottage.

Gorgeous quirky cottage in the centre of Godshill. Ver clean. Well equipped with unexpected extras. Great location for reaching the attractions and a lovely village with a new playground for children. Only caution is the low ceilings and internal steps may be difficult for tall people and ones with mobility issues.

A spacious cottage for nine people (adults and teens). Low ceilings in some of the downstairs rooms due to the age of the building, and some steps between rooms. Very comfortable seating areas and bedrooms. Parking spot was very welcome. Lots of hot water for showers which were necessary after some very muddy walks! The location is perfect.
