AN ISLE of Wight cottage has been named the top place in the UK to ring in the new year.

With 2019 just around the corner, Big Cottages — a UK holiday cottage provider specialising in groups — has compiled its top picks from across the country.

Topping the list is Freshwater Cottage on the Isle of Wight.

An end-terraced cottage in mock Tudor style, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, Freshwater Cottage is walking distance to Freshwater Bay.

The cottage costs £612 for two nights.

A spokesperson for Big Cottages said: "This stunning, quaint cottage is located in the heart of Freshwater Bay on the Isle of Wight, and will offer a New Year to remember.

"The property is a stone’s throw away from a range of amenities including shops, restaurants and the beach, providing the perfect location for families to explore everything the island has to offer."

Other top locations include Norwich Cottage in Norfolk and Tenby Apartment in Pembrokeshire.
