Welcome To The Winterbourne Country House.

Winterbourne is a country house of great charm
and character and is located in one of the most beautiful and tranquil settings on the island.

Winterbourne's enchanting gardens ablaze with colour in season and contain a gently flowing stream with the blue waters of the bay beyond.

You will receive a warm welcome in the house where Charles Dickens made his home whilst writing “David Copperfield”

Winterbourne is a non-smoking house and is licensed for residents for that pre-dinner drink or sundowners on the terrace

Winterbourne offers a high standard of comfort with most rooms enjoying seaviews.

All Winterbourne's bedrooms are en-suite and equipped with colour tv, direct dial telephone and beverage making facilities

Winterbourne offers a breakfast room, two spacious lounges and a secluded terrace, all overlooking the sea and all for exclusive use to guests.


When Charles Dickens visited the Isle of Wight in July of 1849 he had already begun his great autobiographical novel “David Copperfield”. He was shown over Winterbourne and instantly fell in love with the house and gardens.
