The house sits behind the High Street in the middle of West Cowes. Distances below are measured from the front door.
Four kitchens that take group bookings are all within a few minutes' walk: The Anchor Inn on the corner of the High Street (about 75 m), The Coast Bar & Dining Room on Shooters Hill (about 2 minutes), Pier View on the High Street (about 2 minutes) and The Garden at 48 High Street (about 4 minutes). Book ahead during regatta weeks — Cowes fills up.
There is no parking at the property. Two options are available: a visitor permit arranged by the host in advance at £2 per day for on-street bays in Zone C2 around the house, or a tourist permit booked by the guest at approximately £15.10 for two days, which covers most car parks on the Island including the car park by the house. Current rates are published on the Isle of Wight Council website.
Bookings are made directly rather than through this site. Get in touch with your crew size and dates; check-in is from 15:00 to 18:00 and checkout is by 10:00, extendable by prior arrangement.
