Grants Cottage

06/01/2026

We have moved Grants bookings to holidaycottages.co.uk for the 2026 season. I will post a link when I have one, but in the meantime if would like to find us, go to the holidaycottages.co.uk website, narrow your search to Isle of Wight, and then to 'thatched' and we will appear. We are no longer taking any bookings through Airbnb or Vrbo.
Hope to see you very soon for a perfect Island break in 2026.

Great news about our local’s re-opening soon.

Introducing the new team behind The Sun…

With less than 2 weeks to go until opening we thought we’d introduce ourselves and give you a bit more of an idea of who we are 😊

New owners Teagan & Tom will be taking The Sun in a new direction of becoming a ‘Farm to Fork’ style country pub.

Tom has a background in farming and Teagan has worked in the hospitality industry for a number of years predominantly in rural pubs. Both have wanted to open their own pub and when The Sun became available it felt like the right location.

All of the produce will be as local as possible with the Lamb & Beef actually being Toms own livestock. There will be a chicken coup on site too with eggs for sale in the bar. We’re also proud to be introducing a diverse herb garden on site where we plan to grow as much of our own produce to be used in our dishes.

Our head chef Jack has a wealth of experience in different types of restaurant across the Isle of Wight and as far as Cornwall including Off the Rails and even The Sun at Hulverstone where he started off as a KP at the age of 16. We’re excited to see Jack thrive and put his stamp on the foodie scene here on the Island.

We’re very much looking forward to seeing you all here at The Sun very soon

Teagan, Tom & Jack - The Sun, Calbourne 🌞

🐶 Dog Friendly Beaches 🐶

Fancy taking your dog somewhere new? 🐶 Check out all of these beaches they can roam! 🏝️ Some are currently restricted as it is the summer 😎 but there are still plenty to get those tails wagging!

This poster has been inspired by a similar one I have seen recently, however I have only seen low quality copies and I’m unsure of the owner, I would love to give them credit if anyone knows! *Update! The poster which inspired this post is from https://www.petittor.com/dog-friendly-beaches/ so thank you to them!

All information for this poster has been sourced from the brilliant Visit Isle of Wight on their great blog about dog friendly holidays 🐶: https://www.visitisleofwight.co.uk/explore/dog-friendly-ideas

(apologies for the quality it doesn’t seem to improve no matter what I do, click on the image and it looks much better!)
