Set on a working farm, this delightful stone cottage is made for families craving rural tranquillity and coastal adventure. After days on the beach or exploring nearby attractions, take the children to meet the farm’s friendly animals or watch them play in the enclosed garden as you dine alfresco.
The former grain store is full of character, with rugged beams and sloping ceilings on the first floor. Leave coats and boots in the hall before stepping into the kitchen/diner, where you’ll find all the equipment you need to assemble family feasts, including a microwave and a dishwasher. The spacious lounge includes soft seating and a TV for entertainment, and has doors to the garden. Also on the ground floor is a handy shower room. When you’re ready for a good night’s sleep, head up the stairs to find two restful bedrooms and the family bathroom. The private garden with patio and BBQ is perfect for drinks and meals in the fresh air, and children will enjoy the farm’s shared play and animal-petting areas. There are also three fishing lakes on the site that guests may use. Off-road parking for two cars completes this lovely rural retreat.
Surrounded by fields and scenic footpaths, the cottage is just 4 miles from fabulous Ventnor, where there’s so much to do, from excellent eateries and independent shops to golf, boat trips, botanic gardens and a family-friendly beach. Blackgang Chine, renowned as the oldest theme park in the UK, is 3.5 miles, the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary is 5.5 miles, and Amazon World Zoo is just 6 miles. Renowned Shanklin Beach, with its long, golden sands, crazy golf, amusement arcade and go-karting, is 8 miles.
