Description
Architecturally designed, high ceilings and light filled, quiet and private home
The Old Fire Station is an unusual property, originally a Victorian Fire Station that has been architecturally designed and beautifully refurbished to provide a fantastic modern holiday retreat hidden away in East Cowes. Being centrally located it is a perfect base for a couple or a family who want to explore the Island. The property is in East Cowes very close to Osborne House, opposite a lovely park, and a few minutes walk to East Cowes Marina, shops (including the only Waitrose), Red Funnel ferry terminal to the mainland and chain ferry to West Cowes. The property is surprisingly light and spacious and you really feel you are on holiday from the moment you walk in. It has been restored with love and with a sense of fun. You will love it.
PROPERTY DETAILS
As you walk into this unusual property, you are immediately aware of how special it is. The Fire Station is quirky and delightful. The hallway leads to the light open plan kitchen and double height living space with French doors out to the secluded south and west facing gardens. Above the kitchen there is a mezzanine floor with a proper staircase to an enchanting room with a king size bed and special hidden away loft room with a small double which you climb into, a little like sleeping on a boat and ideally suited for older children or a young couple. The rear bedroom has a single and a bunk bed and has a bathroom adjacent. The property is equipped with free WIFI and Sky TV. There is also a washing machine, Nespresso coffee maker, Magimix, dishwasher, microwave, BBQ and trampoline!

Excelllent Holiday Cottage in Cowes
This converted Old Fire Station is one of the nicest properties I have stayed in and I have travelled the world. It contains everything you need and more, Jessica was very accommodating, even when we booked the day we was due to come to the island. We had an enjoyable time on our two day trip, it was so nice to be able to come back to a property that felt like home. We would recommend this property to anyone, the pictures don't do it justice. We look forward to our next trip and a massive thank you to Jessica.

Fantastic cottage
I stayed with my family for a weekend here as we were visiting Osborne House. This was absolutely ideal as was based just round the corner. the cottage was fantastic with everything we needed for our stay. Instructions from Jessica were really clear and helpful. Loved the little welcome pack, really helpful as we arrived late Friday evening. Garden is lovely and must be a real sun trap if you come in the summer. My daughter loved the secret bedroom. We will definitely return next year and would highly recomend to other travellers.
