Families will love this farm-based holiday home on the Isle of Wight, where relaxation and play go hand in hand. Kickstart your morning with a little fresh air and fun – whether that’s helping the children feed friendly animals or joining a replenishing on-site yoga or Pilates session. When you’re ready to head further afield, adventure awaits with the UK’s oldest amusement park, Blackgang Chine (4.5 miles). It has space for eight guests over its four bedrooms, and two dogs are welcome to join in the fun.
Inside, light-filled open-plan living makes for a comfortable stay with your loved ones nearby. After a busy day exploring the sites, stretch out on plush seating beside a striking brick feature fireplace. In the dining area, gather for homecooked meals prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. The ground floor also features a family bathroom where you can have holiday soaks, a handy shower room and the first of the four bedrooms – a twin. Head upstairs to find two king-size rooms, one of which has an en-suite, and a bunk room ideal for kids. Outdoor living is covered too, thanks to a large private garden and patio with furniture and a portable BBQ – ideal for sunny suppers and little ones (and dogs). With private parking for two cars, arrivals and departures are easy.
Just 200 metres from your front door is a toddler play area, sports ball pitch and rustic adventure equipment to keep your party busy – you can even cast a fishing line. Budding fossil hunters can also explore the island’s Jurassic coastline (2.5 miles). Still looking for places to visit nearby? Try Cowes (12 miles), known for its maritime heritage, pretty harbour strolls and sailing scene.
