Embark on a safari-style wilderness retreat with a stay in this accessible glamping tent, set on an equestrian centre 2 miles from Newport. This bespoke eco-friendly lodging offers a wonderful base for small families or groups of friends seeking an escape into nature. Delve into the archaeological delights of the Newport Roman Villa (2.5 miles) complete with a recreated Roman herb garden and quiz sheets for budding historians. Back at camp, rustle up some nibbles, crack open a sundowner, and relax beneath the hanging lights on the covered wooden deck.
This canvas-clad lodging features a tastefully appointed interior with lightwood textures, clean neutral tones, and sleek soft furnishings. Return home after a day of adventures and step through the lockable UPVC double-glazed French doors. Unwind together in the spacious open-plan living space. Whip up a simple supper in the kitchenette and rope in the resident bartender to shake up some pre-dinner drinks. Sink onto the plump armchairs to thumb through a local guidebook or curl up on the soft sofa with a sweet treat. Take advantage of your stunning surroundings and dine al fresco on the wooden bench outside before turning in for the night. Enjoy a restful night’s sleep in the two spacious bedrooms consisting of a bright king and an adaptable double/twin. Drink in dewy mornings from the canopied deck area, explore the shared grounds, or perch on the log and bask in the warmth of the crackling fire pit.
While away summer days pottering along the streets of Newport (2 miles) ducking into Asian coffee shops and browsing boutiques. For faster-paced antics, bodyboard on the waves of Compton Beach (11.5 miles) or tackle the floating assault course at the Isle of Wight Aqua Park (10.5 miles).
