Idyllic setting. An idyllic retreat in the heart of one of the Isle of Wight's prettiest villages, Grebe Cottage was completely renovated in early 2014 and now offers a stylish holiday experience. The cottage is directly opposite the famous Bonchurch Pond, and a short walk from the quiet sandy beach at Monks Bay. The excellent Bonchurch Inn is within walking distance, and for a wider choice of amenities the charming seaside resort of Ventnor is a 15-20 minute walk. The property is set back from the road and presents a very pretty frontage. A generous entrance hall with hanging space leads to the comfortable main lounge, stylishly decorated, with Smart TV and audio systems and a pretty open fireplace. A separate dining room is furnished in old pine. The kitchen is newly fitted in a white Shaker style, with gas hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and Nespresso machine. Off the kitchen is a sun porch, ideal for morning coffee, and a utility room with washing machine and downstairs WC. There is an enclosed terraced garden to the rear of the property with outside dining facilities. Upstairs, the master bedroom enjoys excellent views of the pond and has a king size double bed. The second bedroom has two single beds that can be zipped together (please advise at time of booking). The spacious luxury bathroom, newly renovated, has a powerful shower, corner bath, bidet and under floor heating. Grebe Cottage has been expertly renovated by Distinctive Designs of Ventnor, and is decorated in subtle colours from the Zoffany range. The South Wight is very special. Slightly removed from the main tourist beaches, the Ventnor Undercliff enjoys a Mediterranean microclimate. Exotic plants can grow -you will find an international collection in Ventnor Botanic Gardens, Ventnor was developed in Victorian times as a fashionable seaside resort, and there is much fine seaside architecture. After suffering a period of decline during the 1960s and 70s it is now resurgent, and enjoys a thriving arts scene, quirky shops, and provides the full seaside experience in an uncrowded environment.The Undercliff nestles beneath St Boniface Down, which offers excellent down land walking with fabulous sea and rural views. Bonchurch is one of the Island's prettiest villages. Mostly constructed of the local stone and dating from medieval times, it was developed from about 1800 as a retreat for the wealthy, with large houses, villas and cottages, artfully positioned in generous gardens. The famous Pond is a natural feature that was developed in Victorian times into the wonderful village centrepiece it is today. The village is close to but sheltered from the sea, and enjoys sandy and quiet beaches. A stay in Bonchurch is lovely at any time of year. There is always something to do, from watching the ducklings on the pond in early summer to the fabulous autumn colours to dramatic coastal walks in winter. The property has FREE Wifi. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Freezer - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Handrails in stairways - No lift - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near the bay - Near the sea ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34050000/34043200/34043131/2f453eae.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Granary at French Mill: charming cottage set in extensive garden with stream Sandford, Isle of Wight - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 9.0 Wonderful 94 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-25&endDate=2025-10-26&selected=34043131&PinnedHotelID=34043131&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/29000000/28860000/28857400/28857338/9d0c5176.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful converted 17th century stone stable in the heart of the Isle of Wight Calbourne - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 143 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-25&endDate=2025-10-26&selected=28857338&PinnedHotelID=28857338&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/30000000/29500000/29490300/29490296/305f1258.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cottage Set In Rolling Countryside Godshill - Kitchen - Dryer - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 126 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-25&endDate=2025-10-26&selected=29490296&PinnedHotelID=29490296&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107420000/107413100/107413068/b1d5b655.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Paws a While! caravan with uninterrupted views of Solent and direct beach access Great Thorness - Pool - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Laundry 9.8 Exceptional 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-25&endDate=2025-10-26&selected=107413068&PinnedHotelID=107413068&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33610000/33600800/33600719/ae644175.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Best location in Ventnor, stunning sea views Ventnor - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 65 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-25&endDate=2025-10-26&selected=33600719&PinnedHotelID=33600719&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89770000/89762600/89762517/54f3dec5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 5 Star, Cosy, characterful thatch cottage in a designated area of natural beauty Brighstone - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 32 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-25&endDate=2025-10-26&selected=89762517&PinnedHotelID=89762517&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31090000/31085400/31085302/e9c1c037.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury, Stylish Home, With Garden, Sea Views and Parking.

The location is idyllic and a perfect base - the short walk to Ventnor, Monks Bay 5/10 mins walk away and the Bonchurch Inn meant that if you wanted a day without driving you could still get out and about. The pond opposite really added to the stay and interest with lots of wildlife visiting. All in all a fabulous place, would highly recommend. ##### Stef B.

The cottage looks tiny from the front but opens up as you go in and was the perfect size for the 4 of us. 3 adults, one child and one dog. The cottage itself was very well equipped and with a lovely patio area out the back. We loved the location opposite the pond and a short walk to the beautiful dog friendly, Monks Bay. We also walked up the steep steps to Bonchurch Inn. Worth a visit, set around a beautiful courtyard and serving lovely Italian food. I would highly recommend a stay here and would love to return. ##### Fiona N. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura C. 9 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect base This cottage is almost perfect, being spacious, light, and well-equipped. The slight, very slight, defect being no view from the suntrap courtyard. However, it's a short walk to the sea front and village green so not really an issue. The pond opposite is also a pleasure: teeming with life. Great base for walking straight from the door - the coast path to Shanklin and up onto Boniface Down. The Bonchurch Inn is a lovely spot for a pint, but is currently up for sale - hopefully the new owners will keep it going and keep its character. ##### Laura C. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy J. 24 Jul 2018 #### Fantastic property. Wonderful village with close proximity to a lovely morning walk to Ventnor Wonderful house. Everything there that you wanted for a fantastic holiday. Lovely conservatory and decking area where you could relax in the late afternoon sun. Very dog friendly area. Wonderful small village with an undulating wonder down to a traffic free walk into Ventnor and onto a hilly walk to another traffic free village called Steephill Cove. Achievable by an active and fit 85 year old!! Not far from wonderful beaches on the glorious South Coast Road.
