The property stands in its own grounds in a quiet neighbourhood with a private car park. It has an impressive frontage with ornamental stonework quoins around the windows and its own little front flower garden. The rear garden is a good size and is beautifully mature with a generous decked area, pergola, a stunning gazebo that is great for alfresco dining with lovely far-reaching views. The garden is on 2 levels; directly outside is a large deck with outside seating and dining, down the steps its a garden laid to grass for kids and pets to play and through and arch to the end of the garden offers a small fountain/pond and summer house, great to enjoy in the day or for the kids to `camp out` at in the summer nights.

The interior of the house comprises a spacious lounge with dining table and a sofa bed, a newly fitted kitchen with breakfast bar, new shower room, stripped wood doors and flooring, a feature turning staircase, high ceilings throughout.

Ryde
Referred to as the ‘Gateway to the Island’ thanks to the hovercraft and Wightlink catamaran linking with Ryde. Possibly the best thing about Ryde is the beautiful miles of unspoilt golden sands. Lined with beach cafes, ice cream pit-stops and plenty of family-friendly entertainment makes this a great holiday destination. Union Street rises up from the Esplanade and is home to many eateries, quirky shops and also provides a great view of the Victorian pier once you have reached the top.


Some of the years biggest events take place in Ryde, including the famous International Scooter Rally on the August Bank holiday where you can’t move for scooters and the smell of two-stroke wafts through the air.

There are more cycle/walking paths than roads so cycling is a great way to get around (if you can manage the hills)

If you don’t have a car you can explore most of the Island by bus. There’s a stop across the road and busses come every few minutes.

    Last minute end of Easter holiday booking was handled smoothly. Stayed with 3 teens and a dog . Cottage was lovely and the checkin was hassle free due to the key drop box. Great location and we spent the days touring the island. Ate at some lovely places in Ryde. Also did the escape room in a crypt in Ryde which was great fun. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We ordered in and cooked breakfast, but there were loads of appliances and utensils had we wanted to do more. A great stay.

    We had the most lovely time in Ryde having all missed our birthdays and holidays abroad through lockdown. We chose the cottage because of the outside space and it was just right. The inside was a bonus, comfortable and well appointed. It was all lovely and clean and we couldn’t ask for more. I’ve recommended it to friends who have now booked in a few weeks!

    We loved staying at Gwydyr House. It's beautiful and spacious. Perfect for a family summer break. This was our first trip to the Isle of Wight and we were very lucky with some scorching hot weather. The house was perfect for us to relax in for a few days. Very well kitted out and a very handy location for Ryde and the rest of the island!

    I had a wonderful time at this fantastic house! The accommodation was everything I wished for and more. Spotlessly clean inside and beautifully decorated. Welcoming pint of milk in the fridge, and crumpets and jam for breakfast. Literally everything had been thought of and considered. My first holiday as a singleton, and I really felt I was being looked after. Came for the annual scooter rally, booked at the last minute on a bit of a whim, and I really felt so lucky when I arrived. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much!

    I stayed here with my young family - and they loved the house. The owner was incredibly helpful and has refurbished the house to a first class standard. There were four of us and there was plenty of space - the rooms are large with a lovely garden and seating areas. I would recommend this property to anyone - families and couples alike. I will have no hesitation to book this property again on my next visit to the island. Access from the Portsmouth ferry is quick and easy which makes planning your return journey straightforward.
