Unspoiled coastlines, iconic landmarks and a fantastic food scene. Staycations on the beautiful Isle of Wight and South Dorset Purbeck peninsula really take some beating.

If you’re thinking of holidaying in either location, Island Cottage Holidays have a great portfolio of hand-picked self-catering holiday cottages both on the Isle of Wight and in Purbeck, where you’ll find the famous Lulworth Cove, Corfe Castle and Durdle Door.

Famed for world-class sailing, brilliant walks and cycle trails, Queen Victoria’s Osbourne House and the iconic Needles, visitors to the Isle of Wight can save 20% on ferry crossings when booking a stay through Island Cottage Holidays.

Set in both coastal and rural locations, each characterful accommodation makes the most of stunning countryside, award-winning beaches and dedicated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Those who love a room with a view will certainly find it in one of Island Cottage Holidays’ romantic coastal hideaways for two. And if you’re bringing the whole clan, there are large traditional farmhouses perfect for family getaways.

Town and city mice looking for a quiet holiday escape can experience village life in one of Island Cottage Holidays’ cosy thatched cottages. And there’s a great choice of dog-friendly holiday cottages too, making the most of lovely local walks and dog-friendly beaches.

Time to find that great escape!
