Hadfield Cottage
Hadfield Cottage is on the Isle of Wight, in Ventnor. It’s not actually in the town centre, it’s in Bonchurch village which is just along the coast. The cottage is joined onto the side of the main house here, Winterborne House.
It sleeps six. There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms. It’s got a 4 Star rating. The layout is a bit different. Two of the bedrooms and one of the shower rooms are on the ground floor. That can be handy.
The main thing you should know is that this is the house where Charles Dickens wrote part of David Copperfield. He rented it in 1849. The cottage is part of the same building, next to the room where he worked. It’s just a fact about the place. If you’re interested in that, it’s quite something. If not, it’s just a nice old house.
Outside, there’s a small walled courtyard garden at the front with a patio bit. You get parking for two cars on the driveway.
Location wise, you can walk down to Bonchurch beach in a few minutes. Ventnor town centre is about a mile’s walk along the coast path, which is a nice stroll. Ventnor has the shops, a few pubs, and places to eat. The whole area down here is sheltered. They call it a microclimate, it’s often a bit warmer than the rest of the island.
For a day out, the Ventnor Botanical Gardens are nearby. Further afield, you’ve got places like Osborne House or The Needles, but they’re a drive. If you want to plan walks, the Isle of Wight AONB site has good information.
Inside, it’s got the things you’d need. Washing machine, dishwasher, WiFi. There’s a wood burner in the living room. Bedding and towels are included. We allow up to two dogs. There’s a cot and a highchair if you need them.
Because of the age and layout, there are steps and different levels inside. The entrance and those ground floor rooms have level access, but the stairs to the other bedrooms are typical cottage stairs. Something to be aware of.
