Buzzard

A homely retreat arranged across the ground floor of a stone farmhouse, this Isle of Wight holiday home is ideal for a family. Sleeping six guests, the two-bedroom apartment is set on a working farm at Whitwell, 6 miles from Ventnor and 8.5 miles from Newport. The farm itself offers activities, including meet the animals sessions, play areas and fishing lakes. Ventnor, with its elegant promenade and famous botanic garden, is known for its vintage shops and boutiques, making it a popular shopping destination. Spend time on the beach here, where you can swim, or head to quieter Castle Haven, or Shepherd’s Chine, 8 miles away, to stroll or paddle. Keen walkers might like to follow a stretch of the 70-mile-long Isle of Wight Coast Path. Those with children may wish to take them to the country’s oldest theme park at Blackgang Chine, 4.5 miles away.

Return from fun days out to family attractions and afternoons whiled away on sandy beaches to step into the apartment via the hall. Turn left to find yourselves in a welcoming, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you can spend quality time together during your stay. Make a cup of tea and settle down on the comfortable seating to watch TV. Read your books, play a game and chat through your plans for the following day. Unpack any Isle of Wight produce you have bought on your latest excursion over in the kitchen. Find everything else you need here too, to help you prepare tasty snacks and meals. Gather round the table or carry your plates out into the sunshine. At the end of each exciting day away together, wander through to your bedrooms for a great night’s sleep. Here you have a king-size bedroom and a family room, with both a king-size bed and a set of bunks. This arrangement could suit a multi-generational family. The family bathroom, where you have the option of a soak in the tub or refreshing shower, is close by.

Enjoy the lovely, private garden that comes with this apartment at every opportunity. Cook out on the BBQ on fine days and linger over a bottle of wine once the children have gone to bed and night is falling. Guests at this apartment have private, off-road parking.
