Brighstone is a chocolate box Isle of Wight village which has a fabulous blend of beauty, history and charm. It also has the famous 'Village Shop' that sells everything from 7am to 7pm, making this a fantastic base for a family or couple's holiday. Roam the extensive network of footpaths and cycle tracks in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within the UNESCO acclaimed Biosphere of the Isle of Wight. Nature surrounds you, so you might visit Brighstone Forest (2.5 miles) or the Tennyson Trail which offers epic coastal views. If a day lazing on the beach is on the cards, then Brighstone Bay, Brook Bay, and Compton Bay are all within 4 miles and are ideal for sandcastle building, surfing and catching rays. Kids will love meeting animals and bouncing on giant pillows at Tapnell Farm Park (5 miles), or stepping into a world of pirates and dinosaurs at Blackgang Chine (7 miles). After a day of exploring, settle into the cosy tavern to tuck into a cosy pub classic.

This cottage is an ideal country retreat in the heart of Brighstone Village 'Conservation Area'. Wander inside this holiday home to discover a practical boot room, offering plenty of space to hold beach bits and bobs, benefitting from morning sunshine to dry damp towels overnight. There is also a washing machine and the first shower room with WC. Inside the heart of the home is the modern, stylish kitchen, which contains everything you need. The dining area is just beyond with a lovely table and chairs next to the flicker of the wood burner. Relax together in the welcoming lounge, where plush sofas, light and airy furnishings and a spacious bay window offer the perfect spot to catch up on events from the day. Friendly competitions and indoor fun beckon with some table tennis or a rounds of darts. When you're ready for bed, there are two charming bedrooms both with a double bed and both boasting tranquil colours, with one offering direct access to the garden. Finishing the home is the stylish second shower room.

The charm continues outside, where plenty of seating, lush greenery and beautiful trees set the tone for an evening in the sunshine or afternoons having a BBQ. Its elevated vantage points across the central village create a serene backdrop for morning coffees or evenings of stargazing. The property benefits from one parking space with additional parking available in the car park 150 metres away.

We had an excellent stay in this cosy cottage. It had everything we needed for a lovely break for four. Lazy breakfast in the garden was a great way to start the day before exploring the Island. The village is pretty, well located and has a very good shop!

Really comfortable property with everything you need: well-equipped kitchen, strong wi-fi, good quality Bluetooth speaker, walking poles for use etc. Appreciated the welcome pack of groceries on arrival so able to make tea and coffee and didn't need to buy stuff until the following day. Sadly, we didn't have great weather the week we were there, Read morebut nice to have lunch outside a couple of times watching rabbits. Location is good as there is a decent pub, the village shop (well-stocked albeit a tad expensive - as most small shops are), a tea room and a great brunch/coffee shop all within a couple of minutes walk. We'd book this property again in the future unhesitatingly. Hide

We were really happy to find this lovely cottage which is very clean, beautifully decorated, well-equipped and with many thoughtful touches. It was great to have access to a secluded garden with its resident wild rabbits. Wed never been to Brighstone before but it is an ideal base for exploring the island with many hiking and biking trails nearby (Read morethe cottages owners provide lots of maps/ guides). The village has a brilliant shop, a pub and two tearooms. Chearsley Cottage is also a great place to unwind after a days outdoor activities. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend it. Hide
