Escape to the countryside with this delightful stone cottage, perfectly positioned on a working farm in Whitwell. Sleeping up to three guests, this cosy one-bedroom retreat is ideal for couples or small families seeking an Isle of Wight break. Enjoy leisurely walks through lovely landscapes, meet friendly farm animals (including lamas, peacocks and reindeer), or explore the island’s many attractions.
Inside, the cottage is bright, welcoming, and full of charm. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is a lovely space to unwind, with plenty of natural light and comfortable seating where you can relax after a day of discovery. Prepare meals in the well-equipped kitchen, or open the door to the garden to let in the fresh country air. Settle in front of the TV, play a board game, or curl up with a good book. When it’s time to rest, the spacious bedroom has both a king-size bed and a single bed. The contemporary bathroom, complete with bath and shower, sits just off the hallway. Outside, your private garden provides a peaceful spot to start the day with a morning coffee or to fire up the BBQ and savour dinner al fresco as the sun goes down. With off-road parking for one car, this farm cottage is a wonderful base for uncovering everything the Isle of Wight has to offer. The property can also be booked alongside two neighbouring apartments for larger gatherings.
Just 6 miles from Ventnor, you’ll be within easy reach of its boutique shops, seaside eateries, botanic gardens, and golden beach.

Explore the Isle of Wight Coast Path, boasting 70 miles of spectacular clifftop scenery, while history enthusiasts can visit Osborne House in Cowes (13 miles) – Queen Victoria’s island home.
