A chocolate box cottage set within the owner’s tranquil private grounds and enveloped by rolling pastures. This romantic hideaway is perfect for couples seeking a blissfully rural escape on the Isle of Wight. Step back in time with a stroll beneath the imposing turrets of Carisbrook Castle (400 metres), before popping a celebratory bottle of fizz on the lawn with an unbeatable countryside backdrop.
This inviting property is the epitome of country charm. Picture exposed brickwork, antique-style furniture, and warm earthy tones. Ease off outdoor shoes at the door then be lulled inside. Rustle up an indulgent dinner spread in the traditional shaker kitchen, complete with a Belfast sink. Padding into the lounge, fold out the dining set in the lounge, and feast in the glow of the window. Curl up on the plump leather sofa with something sweet and unwind in the ambient warmth of the crackling wood burner. Nestled at the end of the room is an elegant wrought-iron double bed with romantic drapes. Bask in balmy mornings perched on the enclosed patio surrounded by shrubs. Stepping up to the garden, break a sweat in the wood-panelled gym, lounge on the wicker loveseat, or drink in the views from the sun loungers.
Enjoy a saunter through the light-dappled trails of Parkhurst Forest (2.5 miles) then peruse the selection of exhibitions and live music performances at the Quay Arts Centre (2 miles). Sip an espresso perched in the pedestrianised cobbled square of Newport (2.5 miles) or sample some local seafood at a waterfront eatery.
