About this property

Settled in the valley of Luccombe near Shanklin on the Isle of Wight, is this charming stone-built character cottage, The Hideaway. Attached to the owner's home and boasting traditional features, stunning sea views and a private hot tub, The Hideaway makes for a fantastic getaway for a family of four or two couples. Be welcomed into the spacious living/dining room with original flagstone floors and exposed beams, where you can look forward to lighting the electric woodburning stove and snuggling up on the plush three-seater sofa as you escape with your favourite TV series on the concealed TV. As you start to feel peckish, head to the well-equipped kitchen with washing machine, dishwasher, electric oven and hob and microwave, to conjure up a delicious feast. Savour a flavourful meal at the dining table, as the wine flows and plans are made for the days ahead. If you’re not ready for the evening to end, why not enjoy evening drinks out in the shared garden or take a dip in the bubbling hot tub for a night under the stars. Climb the stairs where you can wash away the day with a blissful bath or revitalising shower, as your towel warms on the nearby towel rail. Catch your rest in one of two well-presented rooms, a double and a twin, each with a basin and wardrobe for storage, before a day of adventures. Venture over to Shanklin, where you will find an excellent selection of activities on offer, including adventure golf, the Shanklin Theatre where you can catch a live performance, the charming Rylstone Gardens and a plethora of restaurants and pubs, perfect for those evenings where you don’t feel like cooking. Walkers will delight at the fantastic trails on offer with the Shanklin Chine offering scenic walks through a gorge along woodland paths, as well as the Big Mead Nature Reserve. For those looking to relax, head to the Shanklin Beach, where you can lay down your towel and soak up the sunshine, build sandcastles with the little ones or paddle the shores. Nearby you will find the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary where you can meet the rescued animals, followed by the Amazon World Zoo which houses over 200 species and the Wildheart Animal Sanctuary in Sandown, home to exotic animals and previously featured on ITV’s ‘Tiger Island’. Be sure to take time out to visit the village of Godshill with its charming model village and picturesque Munsley Bog, it is well-worth a visit. For a holiday with something for everyone, look no further than The Hideaway.

Perched on the Isle of Wight and resting along Sandown Bay is the traditional seaside resort of Shanklin. There is plenty to do here from beachcombing the gloriously sandy beaches, grabbing a bite to eat at the excellent selection of pubs and restaurants, a leisurely stroll along the bustling pier, as well as fantastic family-friendly attractions, including a zoo and a fairground.

  • Jessica

    The hosts were brilliant and on hand if needed.

  • Duncan

    The owners could not have been been more welcoming and friendly. If we could give the whole experience 11 out of 10 then we would do so

  • Simone

    The hosts were wonderful, the scenery is divine. The cottage is so beautiful and well equipped. They’ve thought of everything. The WiFi is poor due to the location but a week away from internet was bliss. But not if you need to have access.
