The Cottage, Bembridge – A Dog-Friendly Coastal Retreat with Sea Views

Tucked between Bembridge Harbour and the village centre, The Cottage is a beautifully presented four-bedroom, dog-friendly holiday home in Bembridge, offering a rare combination of coastal charm, sea views, private parking and walk-everywhere convenience. Sleeping up to 6 guests, this light-filled semi-detached home is ideal for families and friends looking to explore the Isle of Wight’s eastern coastline at a relaxed pace.

With the beach, harbour, shops and restaurants all just two minutes’ walk away, The Cottage is perfectly placed for a memorable, car-free seaside escape.



A Welcoming Home Designed for Relaxed Coastal Living

Step through the porch and into a warm, inviting hallway where traditional furnishings, curated artwork and thoughtful décor immediately set the tone. The Cottage feels like a much-loved family home — comfortable, characterful and effortlessly welcoming.

On the ground floor, a cosy double bedroom and family shower room provide flexible accommodation, particularly convenient for guests seeking easier access. The heart of the home lies straight ahead in the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area — a sociable, light-filled space made for shared meals, laughter and unwinding after a day by the sea.

The fully equipped fitted kitchen has everything you need for stress-free self-catering, while the dining table brings everyone together for long breakfasts or relaxed evening suppers. Patio doors open directly onto the private enclosed garden, where a lawn, patio, outdoor furniture and BBQ create the perfect setting for alfresco dining and laid-back summer evenings.



Four Comfortable Bedrooms, Including a Stunning Sea-View Master

Upstairs, The Cottage continues to impress with a variety of beautifully styled bedrooms to suit families of all ages:

•A large, bright twin bedroom, ideal for children or friends

•A comfortable double bedroom

•A family bathroom with bath and shower facilities

•And at the end of the landing, the showstopping master bedroom, offering panoramic views across Bembridge Harbour, the River Yar and Brading Down

Waking up to these coastal views is a highlight for many guests and a true reminder that you’re staying in one of the Isle of Wight’s most sought-after seaside villages.



Private Garden, Parking & Dog-Friendly Comfort

Outside, the fully enclosed garden provides a safe and relaxing space for children and dogs alike. Whether you’re enjoying a BBQ, a quiet morning coffee, or an evening glass of wine after a beach walk, the garden adds valuable outdoor living space to your stay.

The Cottage also benefits from two private parking spaces — one directly outside the entrance and another just up the road — plus additional roadside parking nearby, making arrival and day trips effortless.



Explore Bembridge & the Isle of Wight with Ease

Bembridge is one of the Isle of Wight’s most charming coastal villages, known for its harbour, beaches, independent shops and excellent food scene. From The Cottage, everything is within easy walking distance — perfect for guests who want to leave the car behind.

Best cottage for dogs on the island!

This was just the most lovely cottage - incredible bed linen and comfy beds and the welcome for dogs was lovely! Walks and runs locally take through winding paths to the beach and everything is so close. We went riding on Ryde beach - miles of gallops (though a bit of a trek on the road to get there so not for beginners) nothing

Simply the best!

From our initial enquiry to booking, to the service received throughout our stay, we cannot fault justforyouholidayhomes.co.uk We’ve made a number of long term bookings at various properties and each time it’s straightforward, and we are so well looked after. Thank you! You can’t! Thanks for putting up with our messy guys!

Lovely location great service

We booked this IOW Half term week with three generations postponed from Covid. The cottage location is great in the beautiful village of Bembridge. Parking for 1 out front. The sleeping accommodation was great with a lovely sized master bedroom. There were six of us and a dog. The garden is small but enclosed so the woof was secure. We chose this property because of its downstairs bedroom and bathroom for Granddad. The living space is too small for the advertised 8 capacity though. There are two ‘3’ seater sofas in the lounge, the kind with two cushions so the third has to sit on the crack, so evening TV watching was split between the sofas and dinning table whose chairs need repairing. The kitchen is small, and although the cabinets could do with an update, was well stocked with appliances and equipment including a dishwasher. Nice touches of supplying dishwasher tablets, washing pods and tea and coffee. Work surfaces were clean but sticky from a yacht varnish protection. Cooked most nights successfully. Although the property has ‘two’ bathrooms; one is a small downstairs shower and the main upstairs bathroom has a bath without shower curtain and only a handheld shower attachment pressure of which meant it couldn’t be used successfully. Lots of reminiscing for our 84 year old dad who holidayed on the isle frequently with his late wife. Fabulous weather we couldn’t have asked for more. Justine our host was amazing dealing with some initial teething issues.

Bembridge Stay

On arrival we found that the grass had not been cut weeds/brambles everywhere. Windows dirty. No parking space. Owner although very nice did not seem willing to sort out the problems but Justine was very prompt in doing so. We felt the place was very expensive for what it provided and compared to other rental properties - ie National Trust. Also there is no aerial for the TV so no BBC programmes and we had to ask for the TV to be reprogrammed so we could at least watch ITV instead of Hot-rod American rubbish. However thanks to glorious weather all week we had a lovely time and feasted on seafood (The Best Dressed Lobster on the harbour front) - also do try the curry at The Old Vine Inn up in the village!

Family holiday, Bembridge, Isle of Wight

We had a wonderfully relaxed holiday in the cottage, which was very comfortable. Our party was made up of two grandparents, parents and boys of 11 & 8 and a small dog. There was plenty of space and the master bedroom is particularly comfortable with lovely views. We always received prompt response from Justine who manages the property. The location is excellent, being within walking distance of the Village and the beach. We thoroughly recommend it.

My stay in Bembridge

The cottage is in a great location, easy walking distance to both the village and the sea. Very comfortable accommodation; we very much enjoyed our stay and with a few minor adjustments the property, for me , would reach the overall top rating..
