Accommodation overview: Laurel Cottage details
Laurel Cottage is a charming detached stone-built character cottage in the quiet village of Calbourne on the western side of the Isle of Wight. Dating back to the 18th century, and peacefully situated in the idyllic and tranquil location of Winkle Street, this self-catering holiday cottage is cosy, comfortable and well equipped. The perfect rural retreat.
There is a crystal clear stream that runs from the pond at Westover House gate lodge opposite along the length of Winkle Street and beyond and is full of wild flowers and is a magnet for wildlife such as kingfishers, red squirrels and ducks.
Calbourne is on the edge of Brighstone Forest, and there are numerous footpaths within the forest and up to the downs that rise over 200m offering breath-taking scenery down to the sea and the chalk cliffs of Freshwater Bay beyond.
The Isle of Wight is one of the UK's designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and covers approximately half of the island and includes Calbourne. It is easy to see why most of West Wight is designated as an AONB with its unspoilt beaches, rolling countryside and picture perfect views.
There are more than twenty beaches around the island including several award-winning beaches. The closest beaches with Quality Coast Awards are Totland Bay, just 7 miles or 20 minutes by car and Colwell Bay, with its long sandy beach and stunning views out to the western Solent. The nearby Compton Bay (5 miles), one of the Telegraph's 'Britain's Best Beaches for 2011', is well worth a visit with its huge deep-red sandy beach and magnificent sunset views. The bay also offers good surfing as well as fossilised dinosaur bones and footprints.
There are numerous attractions for children and sporting enthusiasts making Laurel Cottage an ideal base for an outdoor holiday break to explore the Isle of Wight.
There are numerous pubs (many of which have good play equipment) and restaurants offering a wide range of meals, from the local pub, The Sun Inn (500m) catering for families, The Trendy Coast Bar in Cowes to The George at Yarmouth offering contemporary brassiere style creations making an evening out a really special occasion!
The Isle of Wight can easily be reached with frequent services from Lymington, Portsmouth or Southampton. Booking is essential to get the best prices and to avoid any delays.

Accommodation overview: Lodesman Cottage details
In association with Trinity House, Rural Retreats is pleased to present Lodesman Cottage at North Foreland Lighthouse.
Lodesman Cottage (with accommodation for four guests) is one of two holiday cottages available at the lighthouse, which lies on the chalk headland above the charming and unspoilt seaside town of Broadstairs at the far eastern tip of Kent. The holiday cottages have shared use of a very large one-acre lawned garden and patio with ample space to sit out.
Places to visit in this area of Kent include Joss Bay which has an excellent sandy beach, only three minute's walk away. The nearest pub, the Digby Inn, is a 10-minute stroll and serves good food. For golfing enthusiasts, the North Foreland Golf Club is very close by.
Broadstairs in Kent has good sandy beaches and an attractive old town which has literary associations with Charles Dickens. Bleak House in the town is where Dickens lived while he was writing David Copperfield. The town holds a Dickens Festival in June each year and a popular Folk Music Week in August.
The earliest reference to a light on North Foreland was given in a deed dated 1499 and, at that time, it was almost certain that the beacon was used to warn of attack or piracy rather than as an aid to navigation. Both cottages are very child friendly, surrounded by spacious lawned grounds and set well away from cliffs. The lighthouse does not have a fog signal.
Access roads to some of the lighthouse sites are narrow with limited passing places and, dependent on the season and site, there is the possibility of overhanging vegetation due to cutting restrictions during bird breeding seasons or other environmental reasons.
Guests should be aware that the lighthouses and equipment need regular and sometimes emergency maintenance. Therefore visits by maintenance staff may occur at any time during the year. However, staff will do their best to ensure guest privacy at all times.
