Overview
Description
A traditional bijou cottage, perfectly positioned in the heart of the Arreton Valley on the Isle of Wight. Refurbished to a high standard, the three cosy bedrooms can accommodate up to five people and it is perfect countryside retreat with two pubs and a farm-shop just steps away from the door.The cottage dates from the 18th century and many of the original features remain intact today. It has a feature fireplace in the living room and exposed beams throughout. Please note that this is a very old cottage and it is furnished as such and we would suggest not suitable for guests wishing to have five star hotel fixtures or disabled visitors.
The cottage is ideal for couples and friends, short breaks and holidays. Great for walkers, guests with pets and cyclists as there are some lovely walks and rides in the local area. Opposite is a 12th century Church and direct access to country walking routes across the picturesque Brading Downs.
Just a few doors away you will find two pubs, both serving local food and drink, The Dairyman’s Daughter of Arreton Barns, the Island’s largest centre for arts and crafts and The White Lion.
Visitors will not be disappointed with this warm, cosy and quiet sanctuary set amidst the historic scenery of the Valley.
The whole cottage and its garden with reserved parking is situated in Arreton Barns.

Absolutely Lovely Cottage!
By Emma on 06-Jan-2025We stayed at the cottage between Christmas and new year 2024 and were completely charmed by it. Its a lovely place, full of history and quirks which we loved. We visit the IOW as often as we can and haven't stayed here before but will stay again. The location is perfect, close to everything and being on site at Arreton Barns means that you have immediate access to the restaurant and bar (The Dairymans Daughter) and you also have the White Lion a few steps away which is lovely. We brought our 2 dogs with us for the first time and this cottage is PERFECT for dogs. It has a lovely big enclosed garden which they loved and it was so easy to just let them in to the garden and not worry about them getting out, One thing I would say is that the owners of the cottage ask you to not let dogs in to the bedrooms,which is easy enough with the downstairs bedrooms as they have doors, but it is quite hard to keep them out of the upstairs bedroom when there isn't a stair gate so that was quite stressful at times. We travelled with our son and his girlfriend (adults) and our 10 year old daughter and there was plenty of space, the two bedrooms downstairs are comfortable and situated so that they both have privacy from each other. The bedroom upstairs is lovely. The only comments I would make about the cottage is that it doesn't have a freezer or freezer compartment so I am not sure how this would work if you stayed for longer than a few days and in the summer particularly. Also, the way the lounge is laid out with the beam in the middle of the room means that it can be quite tight in the main room when you are all in there. It would probably benefit from a smaller / folding table and chairs (there were a lot of dining chairs) and also a (larger) smart TV. The WIFI in the cottage was excellent. It had everything we needed - Towels, bedding, tea towels, cleaning products etc. and everything was immaculately clean. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
My memory trip home to the Island.
By Valerie HIickman on 26-Feb-2026I was on a special break with my daughter Julia and her husband Sean as I have mobility problems I had not been home for two years. We visited Ventnor where I was born and Bonchurch where we had lived. Met my cousins. And toured the Island. Lavender Cottage was perfect cosy, clean comfortable and well maintained. Thank you.
