This semi-detached ground floor holiday apartment was once the old kitchens of this Victorian house, which was formerly the summer residence of the Countess of Cowley, a member of Queen Victoria’s entourage. It is set within a beautiful 9-acre estate which gives guests staying here a private garden of 1½ acres. Bodwen Corner Cottage has been designed with families and small groups in mind; there is a cosy living room and 3 bedrooms that have carefully coordinated interiors and contemporary furnishings. The family bathroom and en-suite have both been decorated to a very good standard. The spacious open plan kitchen/diner has doors leading out to the patio and gardens where you can enjoy the peaceful surroundings and you may even spot one of the Island’s famous red squirrels. The property also had the added bonus of an outdoor tap, perfect for washing off walking boots and bikes. New for 2020 is an outside room, called ’The Drey’ for children to play and do crafts in. It houses lots of outside games equipment too. It is named in honour of the red squirrels in the garden and the the nests they create for their young ones.
