We had a wonderful stay as a family! Dan was incredibly welcoming and accommodating throughout our visit. The house is beautiful, very well equipped, spotless, and impeccably maintained. The location is perfect – just a few minutes’ walk from the heart of Cowes and only a few steps from the beach. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommended!

Driftwood House - Luxury Dog-Friendly Townhouse in Cowes, Steps from Marina

Cowes

Set in Cowes, 24 km from Blackgang Chine, Driftwood House - Luxury Dog-Friendly Townhouse in Cowes, Steps from Marina offers recently renovated accommodation with free WiFi and a garden.

The break was self-catering but the house was well provisioned with all the basics needed and there was much more than expected or available at similar properties elsewhere. The townhouse was comfortable and spotlessly clean, with a secluded, sheletered rear garden to use when weather permitted. Ideal for the dogs to sit out in, too. The property is close to the harbour, marinas, floating bridge (when it operates) and a great high street, with an interesting variety of shops, bars and restaurants. Within 50 yaerds is a friendly pub, the Duke of York, with a wide selection of real ales and good pub grub, particularly all-day breakfasts. The idea of moving to Cowes permanently is appealing! Free wi-fi and three TV sets also a bonus as the weather in late January meant fewer outdoor excursions.

    Cowes is quite busy and noisy, but we expected that.

    Cowes is quite busy and noisy, but we expected that. If you want a quiet IOW break, choose one of the resorts on the other side of the island, but for the buzz of the world's yachting capital stick to Cowes. Bus services to all parts of the island are frequent and plentiful.

    Cowes is a lovely town and a perfect location for boaters! The Osborne House is a quick (4 min) ferry ride to East Cowes and accessible buy bus. We had a great food and the people were super helpful as they did not have a tourist information center.

    It is a small coastal town nicely located near many tourist attractions such as Osbourne House, Carisbrooke Castle and Newport town and the Isle of Wight Steam Railway. It is reasonably lengthy to reach however I travelled via public transport, and have to say the bus system is very well connected and covers the whole Island. From Cowes and Newport you get to Ryde, Sandown and Ventnor as well as Yarmouth. The towns aren’t too big so are easily walkable and there are some lovely independent shops and cafes. I particularly enjoyed visiting the Medina Bookshop, and crossing the river from West to East Cowes via the Floating Bridge. All in all, an amazing experience!

    Lovely little place, we enjoyed our walks around the area and relaxing and watching the boats etc. Very easy to get to, loads of eateries and pubs. If you like Yachts and boats then you will be in heaven, but even if you dont theres still plenty to keep you occupied. Its also very easy to move around the island from Cowes whether you drive or use the bus service.

    Easy to get around on foot.

    Easy to get around on foot. Some lovely local produce & traders as well as the usual High St stores all in close proximity. Lots of good local friendly pubs. Osborne House(connection to queen Victoria & Albert) is within walking distance with a 2 minute trip on the floating bridge (£1.50 return ticket)-this is a National Heritage building. Distinctive Royal mail postbox still in use here & if you use it, the postal stamp with reflect the Victoria & Albert connection. You can visit the tearoom & gift shop but need to pay to enter gardens & house.

    I know Cowes well because my mother in law lived there so...

    I know Cowes well because my mother in law lived there so for many years I regularly visited her and stayed in the town. Since she died I have not visited as often and hadn't been to the Isle of Wight for two years until I stayed this autumn. It was a quick visit, but the shops in Cowes and the waterfront areas and town beaches are always interesting. I wouldn't stay quite as late in the year again as many places shut at the end of October or by early November, and if they're not shut completely they can be quiet and shut early (eg some of the out of town shops). Even the Cowes shops were beginning to wind down about 4pm on the Saturday and there weren't many people about. So do go but the warmer months and early autumn are probably better as there's more going on and there are more options. We ate at Mojac's and the Pier Inn, both excellent places for evening meals. The Pier Inn is also a pub but has a separate dining area. It was nice to go in pubs and for them not to be crowded but they do shut bang on 11pm.

    Decor was fresh and modern but in keeping with the character of the house. We had everything we needed. It was a very good location being close to High Street Cowes and its many restaurants cafes and shops as well as the marina and esplanade. All a level walk from the house. An added bonus for Cowes was a parking space. The owners were quick to respond to queries previous to our stay and were excellent when we unexpectedly needed to stay another night due to cancellations with our ferry crossing.

    Really lovely, homely apartment. Very comfortable and spacious, with everything you need for a wonderful stay (including a gigantic bath which was much appreciated after a long day of running around the island!). Great location, down the hill and you’re at West Cowes passenger ferry and high street. Stunning views from the upstairs room and balcony. Our host, Kim, was very conscientious and made our stay easy and enjoyable.
