A wonderful area to enjoy breathtaking walks or for a spot of bird watching. The popular town of Cowes is a short drive away or 30 minute walk along the seafront promenade.

High Rising is a wonderful place to stay. Light, airy, comfortable rooms fully equipped with everything you need. Great location too just 10 mins walk down to the beach. There are even red squirrels in the garden and surrounding gardens. Just a short walk to a local pub too makes it just the perfect place to chill and unwind.

The cottage comfortably accommodates 6 adults or 4 adults and 2 children. Very nice and peaceful location, close to the water and walking distance from Cowes centre. Enjoyed the BBQ in the backyard. Experienced no issues at all with anything.

This was our first trip to the Isle of Wight and we are so glad we found and stayed at High Rising Cottage. The Cottage is clean, comfortable and spacious with all the amenities you could ask for. It was a real plus that each bedroom has its own bathroom. The Cottage is in a great location. Less than 10 minutes to Cowes by car and an easy and pictuRead moreresque walk or bike ride along the coast. We hope to travel back to the Isle of Wight in the future and will look to stay at High Rising again. Hide

High Rising House is brilliant. This very spacious and comfortable 3 bedroomed house all with en-suite is a great find. There is more than enough space for 6 adults and the views are to die for. Anyone with very young children should perhaps think twice as the sitting room is about 2 foot lower than the rest of the room making it an easy hazard forRead more fall. Definitely would recommend to anyone to stay. Hide

Lovely house in a convenient location. Upstairs landing has a wonderful view down to the water where you can watch the boats going by. Weather wasn't on our side on our week, but there is a secluded garden with seating outside. We did see one red squirrel scoot across the road as we were coming back one day. Kitchen is fully equipped, and gas whichRead more was a bonus. There is a handy folder in the house with ideas for eating etc, and all the manuals you might need. Smart TV. We needed the heating too.
