Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This restored heritage building in Niton, Isle of Wight sits to the east of the lighthouse site and offers a perfect retreat for a family gathering or a group of friends. While you’ll share a garden with the neighbouring cottages, you’ll have a private courtyard to share dinners alfresco. The home is a little dated but perfectly practical and comfortable for those seeking a unique location. The signal is patchy here, so it’s really a place to hit reset. Nearby, you can enjoy exploring Carisbrooke Castle, Brading Roman Villa, Arreton Old Village or take a stroll around Rosemary Vineyard. And if you’re bringing your furry friend, you’ll find plenty of dog-friendly beaches.

Home truths
This home is one of three former lighthouse keepers' cottages. Though you'll have a fully enclosed and private courtyard, you'll share the garden area, so expect to bump into other guests during your stay.
A cot and high chair are available on request.
Guests are reminded that this is a heritage building, therefore certain features such as steps, stairs and floor levels may not suit all guests.
This home is in a rural area. While there is a TV and wi-fi here, please note that the reception is patchy. The mobile signal here is also very limited, though a telephone with an honesty box is provided.
The access roads to the lighthouse site are narrow with limited passing places. There's private parking to the rear of the cottage.
