The Location

Cowes on your doorstep.

An elevated position above the Solent, minutes on foot from the waterfront, the beach and the town.

Cowes waterfront

Cowes Green and the waterfront are less than five minutes away on foot. From there, a level promenade walk passes the Royal Yacht Squadron cannons on the way into central Cowes and its harbour.

Eating & drinking

Cowes town has cafés, pubs, delis and restaurants along the High Street and around the harbour, all within an easy walk of the apartment — and a well-equipped kitchen for the evenings you would rather stay in.

Beaches

The beach below the apartment is within a few minutes' walk, with more coastline in either direction along the Solent shore.

Gurnard

A coastal walk of around twenty minutes leads west to Gurnard, with its beach huts, shingle beach and seafront looking back across the Solent.

Getting around

Solent View has one allocated parking space, and much of Cowes is comfortably walkable. Local buses and the chain ferry to East Cowes run from the town centre.

Getting to Cowes

Arrive across the Solent.

Cowes is served by regular ferry crossings from Southampton, with further routes into Fishbourne, Ryde and Yarmouth for guests arriving on the Isle of Wight. Once here, Solent View has one allocated parking space and much of Cowes is comfortably walkable.

Stay a few minutes from the water.
