About Rockstone Cottage

Rockstone Cottage is our family home and a quiet, relaxing, friendly place to stay for adults only, in an entirely smoke free environment.  We offer bed & breakfast to 10 guests in two twin and three double en-suite rooms.  The cottage has an interesting history too!

Why stay with us?   Well, we also offer:

Easy access just two miles from Yarmouth & the Wightlink ferry, with private off road parking on the forecourt in front of the house.  Three minutes from the sea & a bus route.

Your own keys so that you can come and go when you please, except when we are closed for cleaning from 10.30 am to 13.30 pm. 

Free Wi-Fi access.

Places to eat out within walking distance and we have a folder with a selection of menus. 

Our delightful garden where you will find plenty of places to sit and relax.

Washing line & drying room - while we are not able to offer a laundry service, we do have a line in the garden where you can hang your wet swim wear and any items of hand washing that you carry out & an iron & ironing board is available.  We will happily dry coats & boots in wet weather and provide boot washing facilities or trays for muddy footwear. 

We can arrange dinner reservations, taxis, baggage transfer, flowers, chocolates and complementary therapies, such as Reiki. We are able to provide tailor made walking routes too, along with a selection of books, games and jigsaws for you to enjoy. 

An environmentally friendly stay without being pushy.  You will find the details in your room guide.  We have taken measures to ensure you can relax knowing that your stay is green too.

Local information in the comprehensive guide in each room with details of local shops, banks, cash points, medical facilities, places to eat out and suggestions for days out.  We also have a range of leaflets and visitor guides, along with laminated maps and walking routes.  We will always do our best to answer questions or find information.  A board in the hall gives the daily weather forecast and tide times to help you plan your stay.

Our delicious breakfast is served between 8 and 9 am. We use quality, mainly local ingredients and Fairtrade items for our Island Breakfasts   Packed lunches can be arranged with prior notice along with flask filling too.
