Edith Cottage is a stunning and spacious period cottage close to the beach and village green, perfect for a blissful summer break or cosy winter getaway with family, friends – and your dog !


Newly and beautifully refurbished, this stylish and cosy Victorian villa is in the charming village of St Helens on the Isle of Wight. A short walk to the beach and just off a picturesque village green, it sleeps 8 in four double bedrooms (one downstairs) with pets welcome. Airy and light with bay views, it features stripped wooden floors, a fireplace with wood-burning stove, stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room; garden room with additional seating/eating space, four double bedrooms, three bathrooms and a downstairs cloakroom and utility room. It has a pretty wrap-around cottage garden and raised terrace with distant views of Bembridge bay and the sea beyond for eating and relaxing.


LOCATION

Edith Cottage is situated on a quiet no-through lane, two minutes’ walk from the pretty Bembridge harbour with access via a rustic causeway that cuts across the water, a popular section of the coastal path, to St Helens Beach/cafes, beautiful surrounding common land for birdwatching and other East coast beaches. Links to cycle routes and Culver Down for inland walks are close by.


A short stroll up the lane is St Helens village green which offers a cafe/deli, a pub, a restaurant, vintage book shop, a church, post office/general store and children’s play area.


There is a regular summer water taxi across the bay – or a 5 minute drive/15 min walk to the popular village of Bembridge for gift shops, cafes, bakery, butcher, fishmonger, deli/grocers, pubs and restaurants.

    Paddy December, 2022

  • Another great stay at Edith cottage in St Helens. Always really well presented, quiet, comfortable beds, good showers, kitchen with everything you need, space for extended family and view / access to Duver is great, especially with dog. Thoroughly recommend, just bring blackout blinds if you wake up to light easily. HB is an absolute pleasure to book through, thanks Annabel.

  • What a wonderful few days at Edith Cottage – gorgeous. Rose at the Beach Hut in the afternoon sun a highlight.

    Becky & JP Miller August, 2022

  • Loved staying at Edith Cottage! Some very special evenings on the garden deck and walks down to the Baywatch for sundowners.

    Will, Soph, Harrison & Polly August, 2022

  • Perfect combination of elegant and cosy. An exquisitely decorated and comfy home.  Loved the bookshop and the café on the green, walks from the harbour (saw some curfews!) and crab salad at The Best Dressed Crab.

    Marian & Paul September, 2022

  • We never wanted to leave! This is a beautiful home, lovingly cared for, and presented exquisitely for guests. It is spacious both indoors and out and offers privacy in the bedrooms. The neighborhood is quiet, the bird song is lovely, and the water views are relaxing. Annabel, the rental agent, is the most helpful agent we’ve ever worked with!!! You will not be disappointed if you stay at Edith Cottage.

    Judith & Rob March, 2023

  • Edith Cottage is extremely lovely. We went with another family (4 kids and 3 dogs total), and the house was perfect. The garden is secure for Houdini dogs and the communal living space is very homely, stylish, comfortable, clean and pretty, as in the photos. The kitchen is very well equipped (unlike some Air BnB properties we’ve stayed at), with loads of plates, glasses, cooking utensils, the works. There’s a separate utility room with washer, dryer and microwave, and a pantry with loads of storage too. In short, perfect for families! The location is nice, we walked to St Helen’s beach (10 mins) for crabbing but had to drive to Bembridge for supplies, but that was no problem. What stood out the most was how brilliant HB Lettings were in their communication and information. We were given a digital guide to the property that was invaluable, and Annabel also booked our ferry, which was helpful. The sun deck in the garden as a highlight, and really does catch the sunshine!

    Claudia May, 2023

  • Thanks for a great stay, comfortably fitted 2 families with kids and dogs. House is exactly as described, everything worked perfectly. Great communication from HB Holiday Letting’s especially on check out which was appreciated. Highly recommend for a trip to the Island, St Helen’s is the perfect location.

    Stephen May, 2023

  • An extremely well presented, clean and tidy holiday home. My family and I were very happy whilst staying there and everything we needed was catered for. The location was also perfect with a local pub and beach in very close walking distance. We would (thinking next year) be very happy to stay there again.

    Ian June, 2023

  • Fantastic house , in a great location, with lots of space for everyone, we were a group of 7, spanning 3 generations.

    Dionne July, 2023

  • Edith Cottage is a beautiful and homely house with everything we needed. It catered for three generations very easily, with plenty of space, seating and entertainment. It is beautifully decorated and was spotlessly clean when we arrived! It’s in a great position, St Helens is small and quiet and with the house just a short walk to a beach, it’s the perfect place for an early morning swim! The nearest pub, the Vine Tree is a really good all round pub, a varied menu with great food! The lettings agent, Annabel, was brilliant. Very responsive to any questions we had, very helpful and friendly. It was a great holiday overall and I would definitely stay here again!

    Sandra July, 2023

  • An absolutely PERFECT stay – beautifully presented home in a peaceful surrounding with so much to explore within walking distance. A great base for a visit to the Isle of Wight. Well equipped for everything we need – really felt a home away from home. We can’t wait to come back.

    Shannan October, 2023

  • The best rental we’ve stayed in. Equipped to an exceptional standard, comfortable and homely. Outstanding.

    Rob October, 2023

  • We had an absolutely lovely short stay at Edith Cottage. The house is beautiful and has everything you could want or need. The accommodation provides plenty of space and bathrooms for a family gathering. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    Fiona November, 2023

  • The house is absolutely beautiful and a perfect place for a family weekend! The house is very light and bright and a lovely place to enjoy a bit of sun. The downstairs bedroom makes it really accessible for older people or people with mobility issues and there are only a couple of steps up into the house/up onto the deck area. We came with our 89 year old grandfather and he loved it.

    RhiAnnon March, 2024

  • Edith Cottage is a hidden gem. A large family home from home, perfectly situated to get out and about.

    Laura April, 2024

  • We had a wonderful time at Edith Cottage. The house was beautiful and kept extremely clean, love the garden with the wild flowers, a burst of colour and kept well. This house has the WOW factor and would definitely love to stay here again. Thank you for allowing us to stay with our dogs at your beautiful home.

    Marion June, 2024

  • A beautiful place to stay. A well equipped and comfortable house in a fabulous area. It suited our three generation family get together and you couldn’t have been more helpful.

    Theresa June, 2024

  • Thanks again for a brilliant couple of weeks at Edith Cottage, the house is brilliant and we’ve had an amazing couple of weeks. You can really tell the house is well cared for. 

    Jamie August, 2024

  • There were six adults and our small dog staying for four nights, the house had plenty of space for everyone, and all the amenities and facilities we needed. The interior was furnished to a very high standard and was tastefully done, it felt like home from home. When we visit isle of Wight again, we will definitely rebook this property.

    Simon October, 2024

  • Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely house. It was a lovely place, in a lovely location. The house served us very well as it had the downstairs bedroom with an ensuite which suited our elderly father. It was in a great position with a walk to the harbour only a few minutes away and a lovely pub a five minute walk.

    Vanessa October, 2024

  • We loved our stay at Edith Cottage. An utterly beautiful home. Everything had been thought of – the kitchen was fully equipped and gorgeous, the bedrooms and bathrooms were luxurious and the living areas, garden and decking area were so relaxing. The house is walking distance from the village green with the most amazing second hand bookshop (and a pub), or over the causeway to Bembridge with its bakeries and independent gift shops, or to St Helens Duver for a lovely coastal walk. Special mention to Annabel, who is possibly the most helpful rental agent I’ve met. Lots of communication, well in advance, meant that we felt fully informed and supported at all times. Would totally recommend and thank you for a lovely break.

    Caroline November, 2024

  • The house is very beautiful and very welcoming. From the kitchen size and utensils to the amount of bathrooms everything is perfect to host a big group. The weather was pretty bad so it was amazing to have an inviting and cozy space to just relax and celebrate with friends πŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ«ΆπŸΌ Communication was Excellent!
