Tucked away along a quiet, leafy lane that winds its way into a bridleway, this welcoming three-bedroom property sets you up perfectly for a relaxing escape on the Isle of Wight. It’s surrounded by scenic footpaths that reveal some of the island’s most stunning landscapes and breathtaking views. For family fun, Blackgang Chine – the UK’s oldest amusement park, packed with quirky attractions and dramatic coastal scenery – is just 3 miles away. Nature lovers can explore the trails of St. Catherine’s Down (3 miles) and visit the iconic St. Catherine’s Oratory, known locally as the Pepperpot, with its panoramic views.

A little further afield, Ventnor Botanic Garden (7 miles) showcases rare and exotic plants thriving in the island’s unique microclimate – a perfect spot for a leisurely wander.

The interior of this pleasant abode blends rustic charm with modern comforts, and benefits from an open-plan layout that’s great for spending time with your loved ones.

A bunk room is on this level, great for children or extra guests, plus a shower room and WC for added convenience. Upstairs, via an elegant wooden staircase from the main living area, two peaceful bedrooms await – each with zip-and-link beds that can be set up as kings or twins to suit your group. One of these also includes a handy single bed. A bright bathroom with a shower over the bath completes this floor.

A very lovey barn, we really enjoyed our stay just what we need to base from to go and see friends and family and get to the beach. Very nice and clean and plenty of space for our family. You can see also what they're building there which when its done will be im sure as good as the barn we stayed in.

We were very disappointed with the cottage and only stayed for the one night. Although the description said there was a Tv - it didnt work. There was no WI-FI although it said it was intermittent it was non existent. The heating consisted of a log burner, which we didnt have the energy to light as we only arrived late evening, and minute electRead moreric oil filled radiators which did nothing to dispel the cold in the house, as we were experiencing a cold weather snap. There was building works going on outside where the owners are refurbishing other old buildings. That did not bother us too much We moved on Wednesday May 13th as we were so disappointed in the house, which could be lovely with a bit more attention. E.g. proper heating, TV and Wi-Fi working and cleaning goods There was a lovely welcome pack which we did not use. We never found the garden We moved to a cottage in Seaview which had heating Tv and Wi-Fi and cleaning implements and is a lesson to anyone renting out a cottage. Really sorry to be so damning but it really is not fit for purpose. Hide

Towel rail and toilet in upstairs bathroom need fixing properly. Mixer tap in kitchen quite wobbly. Nespresso type coffee machine would be nice.
