About this property

The Old Signal House - a cottage that sleeps 9 guests in 4 bedrooms

DESCRIPTION

The Old Signal House is set in an exceptional location, off the beaten track, surrounded by open countryside with gated access to the coastal path where there are panoramic views along this spectacular coastline including St Catherines Lighthouse and Oratory. Set within ten acres of private meadowlands, adjoining National Trust Land, The Old Signal House is ideal for walkers, photographers, bird watchers or those just looking for a relaxing holiday away from the hustle and bustle. Originally the local telephone exchange, known as ‘Niton Radio', this interesting property has been converted to offer spacious accommodation arranged on one level, with an open plan living area and 4 bedrooms, all en-suite. Larger groups can rent the adjoining Morse Cottage which sleeps four, ideal for families or friends who wish to holiday together.
Niton village is about half a mile distant with a variety of local shops including convenience store, post office with tea rooms, butchers and pharmacy. The White Lion is a traditional family pub offering a selection of home made dishes. At the nearby Niton Undercliff, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is the Buddle Inn with splendid views overlooking the sea. Opposite are steps leading to Castle Cove with its history of smugglers and ghosts. One mile along the coastal road to the west is the popular Blackgang Chine theme park, a fun day out for all the family. A trip along the Military Road to Freshwater Bay offers magnificent views over the English Channel and the sandy beaches of Whale Chine, Brook and Compton Bays. The nearby Victorian resort town of Ventnor offers interesting architecture, shops, bars and cafes.

In great need of TLC outside and in. Needs a Deep Clean. House looks very sad. Under sheets stained.

10/10 Excellent

Should have booked 2 weeks!
This well equipped cottage has plenty of room for everyone to all be together (mealtimes) or have their own space (outdoor seating & access to the Coastal Path). What an amazing collection of books throughout the property. The younger members could walk to Blackgang Chine while the older guests enjoyed time to relax indoors and outdoors - we all loved the Games Room! Fresh bread (and much more) is available from Norris's in Niton and there are plenty of places to choose for eating out. Everyone agreed this was one of the few cottages where a large multi generational party could comfortably stay for 2 weeks. Thank you.

Spacious house in amazing setting
The house is in an amazing setting within a meadow with a short walk to the beautiful views on the coast path. The house was well equipped with everything you need and had loads of space for our family trip. Good location within a short drive to lots of nice beaches. Would recommend.

couples cycling week
We were 4 couples each with our own bathroom which was perfect. Lovely open space to eat and be together. We all have grown up children but all agreed what a lovely place it would be to bring children, we described the house as robust, needing TLC but we thought it added to its charm. No need to worry about precious items. We walked into the village via the coastal path to both pubs which were fab. The mattress in the master bedroom was way too soft for us and oved to a smaller room. There is a fab drying room perfect for drying your wet items. It was so tranquil, the Wi-Fi was good and good mobile reception. If you cycle the roads were perfect and the cyclist had a lovely time.
