Beautiful stone cottage in Ryde, once visited by Queen Victoria!

Situated on the outskirts of Ryde, around a 15 minute walk from the Hovercaft and fast cat and on the road to Fishbourne for the car ferry, Gwydyr House is ideally situated for a speedy arrival and ideal location to explore the Island.

A 10 minute walk, to the town centre offers access to all the shops, bars and restaurants, whilst being slightly away from town, means a large garden to enjoy and ample parking

Gwydyr House is a beautiful 150 year old cottage, originally part of the manor house and visited by Queen Victoria in the last year of her life, now a stunning newly refurbished holiday home.

It offers a large lounge (with sofa bed) a fu, ly equipped kitchen and a downstairs shower room. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, Master (kingsize), twin room, a double room with single bunk and a family bathroom.

The garden is split into 3 sections, the deck from the house for outdoor living and alfresco dining, complete with a cabana. Down the steps its a garden laid to grass for kids and pets to play. The final end of the garden offers a fountain and summer house, great to enjoy in the day or for the kids to 'camp out' at in the summer nights.

Please note there is ring doorbell covering the entrance to the property.

Beautifully appointed cottage
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.

A short family getaway
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!

A real treat!
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!

Absolutely wonderful thank you!
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!

Fantastic property with everything you could wish for.
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.
