OTTER COTTAGE

A relaxed countryside base at

CAMP CORVE

A Cottage Designed for Real Life Together

Otter Cottage is a generous, welcoming place to stay — designed for groups, families, and guests who want space to properly settle in.


With three bedrooms, the cottage can be configured flexibly for different types of stays, whether you’re visiting for a family break, a wedding weekend, or a small group getaway. A downstairs shower room makes life easy for busy mornings, while upstairs you’ll find a bathroom with a shower over the bath — ideal for slower starts or soaking after a long day outdoors.


At the heart of the cottage is a fully operational kitchen, equipped with everything you need for self-catering stays, including a washing machine and dishwasher. It’s a space made for cooking together, not just passing through.


The spacious living area is arranged around a wood stove, with sofas and chairs set up for conversation, board games, or long evenings unwinding — especially welcome on cooler nights.

Gardens to Discover, Corners to Linger In

One of Otters Cottage’s quiet joys is its outdoor space.


At the front of the cottage, a garden with benches and a large table sits surrounded by trees and pots filled with flowers. It’s a lovely spot for shared meals, morning coffee, or evenings that drift on longer than planned. A cosy fire pit creates the perfect spot to linger a little longer as the evening draws in.

“Otter Cottage is one of those places where people naturally spread out and then come back together again. You’ll find someone cooking, someone curled up by the stove, someone outside with a cup of tea — and somehow it all just works. That balance was really important to us.”

Staying as part of a group?

Otters Cottage can be booked on its own, but it also plays an important role as part of Camp Corve’s courtyard cottage layout. When booked alongside our other cottages, it becomes part of a shared setup designed for group stays, retreats, and wedding weekends — offering privacy alongside natural points for coming together.

If you’d like to understand how the cottages were designed to work as a group — from shared meals to slow mornings and communal evenings — you can read Hamish’s story behind the courtyard.

A Comfortable Base for Isle of Wight Days and Easy Evenings

Whether your days are filled with countryside walks, coastal exploring, or on-site celebrations, Otter Cottage offers a place to return to that feels familiar and grounding.


It’s equally suited to lively group stays and quieter breaks — a cottage where muddy boots are welcome, meals are unhurried, and evenings can be spent either around the fire pit outside or the wood stove indoors.


Otters Cottage isn’t about showiness. It’s about comfort, flexibility, and creating space for people to be together in a way that feels natural.

What a pleasure it has been to be your first guests in beautiful Otter Cottage.

You have catered for every need. The cottage is stunning and set in beautiful surroundings. It definitely is 5 star accommodation and we would definitely re-visit.

We all slept well, including the children.

The Isle of Wight is truly a lovely place with lots to do for everyone.

We wish you lots of success in the future and hope your next guests enjoy it as much as we did.

Thank you for making us welcome, especially my grandson who was obsessed with the tractors!

Otter Cottage has been a lovely place to stay and very comfortable

Dear Hamish and Erin,

We’ve had such a wonderful time here on the Isle of Wight. Otter Cottage has been a lovely place to stay and very comfortable. The surroundings are so peaceful and idyllic!

Our children have had an amazing time here too and the twins have come away total skateboard enthusiasts, thanks to Hamish and his fantastic teaching!

You have both been very welcoming and we look forward to returning again in the future.

The home & location are perfect.

Dear Hamish & Erin,

Thank you for such a wonderful time. The welcome pack of food & milk were perfect after a long journey – the shortbread biscuits & bread did not last long!

The home & location are perfect. We spent every morning at Compton Bay beach (excellent sandy beach, clean, ideal for body boarding/surfing). We saw the beautiful vista at The Needles. We spent an afternoon at Newton Creek. We enjoyed a delicious meal at The Crab & Lobster at Bembridge (live music, excellent service).

We can’t wait to come back!

Two older people looking for a bit of peace and quiet on their first visit to the island have found Otter Cottage to be the perfect base.

Well, I think it’s safe to say we’ve been blown away!

But in spite of the ‘entertaining’ weather we’ve had a wonderful week.

Lovely part of the island, very nicely organised accommodation and just one request – don’t over-develop what is a winning set-up.

Good luck for the future,

Beautiful, tranquil surroundings and a very cosy cottage

Dear Hamish & Erin,

This has been a fabulous stay for our family. Beautiful, tranquil surroundings and a very cosy cottage. Loved the ‘Otter garden’ private garden and enjoyed sitting round the fire pit.

Thank you for the welcome pack – a very thoughtful addition.

All in all, it’s been a wonderful way of myself and sister celebrating our 60th with our family xx

P.S. Woodburner worked great 🙂

It has been a lovely, relaxing place to spend our Christmas.

Dear Erin & Hamish,

We have had a lovely stay in Otters Cottage. The welcome pack was wonderful and the Christmas decorations amazing! It has been a lovely, relaxing place to spend our Christmas.

One week has passed far too quickly and we are sorry to be leaving.

It was so peaceful and quiet here we had a very restful stay.

Dear Hamish & Erin :)

We had a lovely stay in the cottage. We never thought the Isle of Wight was so beautiful! It was so peaceful and quiet here we had a very restful stay.

Thank you for everything,
