Set just a short stroll from the moorings of Cowes Habour, nestled between a string of historic cottages and the town’s yellow brick Catholic church, is The J House. Stylishly renovated, this spacious four-floored home can sleep up to twelve in its bright and airy bedrooms - plus, hidden at the back of the top floor is a welcoming furnished terrace with views stretching over the rooves of the town and out towards the Solent beyond.
Once you’ve parked up outside and unlocked the front door, you’ll find a tastefully designed bolt hole with many a nautical nod to the town’s illustrious sailing past. On the ground floor, there’s a well-appointed kitchen (with not just one, but two ovens!) as well as a sleek dining area with seating for up to twelve. From here, the door leads out onto a secluded private courtyard with plenty of seating and a handy outdoor shower - perfect for summer morning pampering or to wash off the sea salt after a long day of sailing.
Also at ground level, there’s a restful living area with plump, bouncy settees, a Smart TV and sailing-inspired wall prints. Climbing up to the first and second floors, guests will discover the six tranquil bedrooms (each named after J Class yachts) - including two inviting en-suite master bedrooms. There are also two rooms with adult-sized bunk beds (handy for the yacht crews who often come to stay) plus, the four zip-and-link doubles can easily be converted into twins on request - making the accommodation here incredibly adaptable.
Under the sloping ceilings of the top floor, there’s a further lounge, flooded with sunlight and boasting far-reaching views across the masts and rigging of Cowes Marina. Taking the door to the rear, you’ll step out onto The J House’s fantastic roof terrace, which, with glimpses out to deep blue waves of the Solent, makes for a pretty unbeatable space to relax in.
The four zip-and-link doubles can be effortlessly converted into twins on request (please request at time of booking). Please do note that each bed is made up with single duvets, ensuring added comfort and a restful night’s sleep — no fighting for the covers.
There is parking for one car on the paved area in front of the house but please be extremely careful when parking here. It's a very tight space and all 4 wheels need to be on the paved area to prevent you for getting a fine for parking on the pavement. There is also paid parking at Northwood House car park a short walk from the house.
The property is equipped with everything you will need including utilities, bed linen and towels.
No smoking and no pets please.
