About this cottage rental
Mole Cottage is a delightful thatched cottage that has been sympathetically modernised to provide a high standard of accommodation. Built in 1927 the cottage is situated in a picturesque location and enjoys panoramic sea views from the principal accommodation.
Luccombe village is surrounded by miles of National Trust land, overlooking The English Channel, part way between the towns of Shanklin and Ventnor, both very popular with tourists and only a 5 to 10 minutes drive.
Whilst Mole Cottage is set in an idyllic rural location secluded and "off the beaten track" the town of Shanklin, one of the best known resorts of the Island, is just 5 - 10 minutes drive.

We loved the cottage. It suited all our party.. 5 of us,
3 generations and my husband is disabled. The bedroom/bathroom arrangements suited us.
Every night we were visited by the badgers.
We picked some of the blackberries in the garden.
We loved the views.
We enjoyed the food at The Village Inn (the seafood platter really good value); Blueberries cafe for breakfast.
Really enjoyed a fish finger sandwich at off the rails in Yarmouth (enough for 2 people)
Lunch at Bay watch at the Duver was also good.
We hope to stay again one day.

Wonderful cottage. The views are amazing. The gardens are large and beautifully maintained. The cottage itself contains everything you could want for a holiday. The standard of decor and furnishings is very high. All the rooms are large and decorated again to a high luxurious standard. There are a vast amount of board games, books, dvd’s etc. There are large tv’s and I think a game console (we never watched tv so I am guessing the box was a games console). The icing on the cake for us was watching the wildlife at night. The badgers came every evening for food on the patio. I recommend you take bird nuts with you as they are real entertainment at night. The fox came and joined them a couple of nights. This is a really marvellous place to stay. I could easily have spent the whole week just in the cottage.

A lovely old cottage peaceful and quiet with lovely views…The side garden is especially secluded and quiet,
On the negative side parking is not great,
The cleaners don’t clean under the furniture or bathroom cabinets as I found out when I dropped something which rolled under Ugh !.
But on the whole a lovely place to unwind and enjoy the badgers.

A lovely spacious property which is modernised and has all the necessary facilities. We stayed in March and fed the badgers and fox which came to the patio. In a quiet location with views to the sea. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Mole Cottage is in a fantastic location in Luccombe, 10/15 minutes walk from Shanklin old town. If you walk back to the cottage from Shanklin it is up hill, which is not a problem if you are fit and healthy, but do take this into consideration. The cottage is situated on a private road, so it was always very quiet, both night and day; there's parking for 2 cars just outside of the property.
Being at the top of a hill meant that you are rewarded with a fantastic view out to sea from the lovely garden at the back and side of the property. It's great to watch some of the Channel Island ferries, cargo ships and tankers go by. It's also excellent for star gazing on a clear night. We were also very lucky to be visited by badgers each night, which was amazing to see! We loved watching them feast on the peanuts left out for them each night, right by the patio doors!
The cottage was very well equipped to make our stay a very comfortable home from home experience. The layout worked very well for 4 adults and 2 children. The children could sleep in the large upstairs bedroom, whilst you could remain talking in the living room without disturbing them.
We loved our stay at Mole Cottage and it made our visit to The Isle of Wight a very memorable one and would happily stay here again!

Mole cottage is in a beautiful & peaceful location. The accommodation is very clean, spacious & comfortable with spectacular views to the sea. There are plenty of indoor entertainment activities available - books, games, puzzles etc if the weather is inclement. (However we didn’t need these)
All of the facilities were clean & tidy & kitchen equipment easy to use.
The added attraction was the evening visits in the back garden by a family of badgers who feasted on peanuts which we put out for them. On one occasion we saw a fox!

Another lovely visit - repeat visitors to this very special cottage. Everything you could need for a great break, an outstanding view and badgers visiting the garden every evening. Magical

Mole cottage was great, lovely views, comfy rooms, well equipped kitchen and plenty of room to move around in.
We were fascinated with the badgers each evening, and enjoyed a few afternoons sitting in the garden overlooking the sea.
Had a really lovely, relaxing time there and would happily visit again.

Mole Cottage is like home from home. It has everything you could possibly need. The Cottage has amazing views and is private and quiet. Shanklin is the next village to Luccombe so amenities are close by. Having the badgers visit each evening is a real bonus too. The coastal walk is close so if you like walking then Mole Cottage is ideality situated. We had the need to call the maintenance team who dealt with our issue extremely promptly. We would certainly recommend this cottage.

The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed.
Large garden which was well maintained. The kids loved it.
We were left a bag of nuts to feed a badger which comes every evening at dusk without fail ! This was a nice bonus for the kids .
Would stay again

We had another wonderful stay at Mole cottage, the weather was not the best we have had on the Isle land but as you turn the corner at the top of the hill and see the cottage the smile returns and the sun shines no matter what the weather. the cottage is well looked after and has every thing you need, just to sit in the garden and look at the views or watch the wild life from butterflies and bees to birds and badgers its just so peaceful.At night its just a short walk to the local pubs followed by a walk through the chine, or sit and watch the ships passing while you star gaze. The worst part of staying at Mole cottage is the leaving to go home
