For a memorable group trip in an idyllic rural setting, book a stay at this welcoming holiday cottage in the countryside. It’s on the grounds of an equestrian centre, with plenty of animals on the 50-acre site including pigs and sheep that children will love meeting. There’s also a kids’ playground to keep youngsters happy, plus a bar and restaurant for the adults. The site is in the centre of the island, around 2 miles from its main town of Newport and 5 miles from the sandy beaches of Ryde. At this comfortable accommodation, there’s room for up to eight guests over four bedrooms, so it’s ideal for a big family trip. One dog is welcome to come and join in the fun.
This spacious home has a lovely open-plan living area that’s excellent for socialising, whether you prefer lounging on the sofa watching the Smart TV or cooking up a feast in the modern kitchen. The property features a downstairs king-size bedroom and a wet room. The three other bedrooms (one of which is en-suite) and a family bathroom are upstairs. Out the back, you’ll have a lovely paved patio with garden furniture – great for enjoying a BBQ in mild weather.
You’ll find a pub for a pint 1 mile away and, in nearby Newport, plenty of shops and restaurants you can explore. Locally, you could have a round of golf at the nearby course (3 miles) or wander around the medieval Carisbrooke Castle (3 miles). If you have children in your party, a trip to the Blackgang Chine theme park (10.5 miles) will be a popular choice. Nature lovers will be keen to explore the Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (3 miles) or Hamstead Heritage Coast (6.5 miles).
