An innovative layout maximises the space well – step through the entrance and to your right the first of three welcoming bedrooms has a king-size bed and an en-suite shower room. To the left, there’s a bunk room – the property welcomes children aged 6 and over – and a twin room which can, on request, be made up as a double. A spiral staircase leads to the upper floor, where a country-style kitchen has all you’ll need for fuss-free self-catering. There’s a large table here, while for more formal dining there’s another within the impressive living room, which also boasts a wood burner and a wonderful framework of exposed wooden beams. Stretch out on your choice of sofa to watch the Smart TV or step through the French doors for gorgeous countryside views. Private decking complete with outdoor seating and a BBQ leads onto a lawned area. There’s also parking for two cars.

Garden Cottage on Span farm is a lovely place to stay. Cottage was clean and we were made to feel very welcome by the hosts. The welcome pack we received on arrival was amazing.! Being close to Ventnor it was easy to get to most attractions and the scenery from the cottage was beautiful. Look forward to returning to the Isle of Wight soon.
