For a rural break within a charming stone farmhouse, stay at this welcoming ground-floor retreat in pretty Whitwell. You’ll be surrounded by open countryside and ideally placed for exploring the Isle of Wight’s favourite spots, with Ventnor (6 miles) and Newport (8.5 miles) both nearby. When you’re ready for adventure, the farm offers plenty of fun right on the doorstep – from meeting the animals to children’s play areas and peaceful fishing lakes. Sleeping up to six guests, this lovely holiday dwelling is ideal for families, and groups of friends keen to get away from it all.
Head inside to find a bright and homely open-plan living area comprising lounge, kitchen and diner, with elegant wooden beams and a feature fireplace in stone. There’s comfy seating and a TV for those cosy evenings in, plus a dining table for eating indoors. When the sun’s out, carry your plates out to the lovely private garden and enjoy a BBQ feast under the open sky. You’ll have a family bathroom for washing and two cosy bedrooms – one king-size room with double-aspect windows and a second containing a king-size bed and bunk beds. There’s private parking for one car.
There’s lots to do in Ventnor, with its sandy beach, elegant promenade, vintage shops and beautiful botanic garden. Shepherd’s Chine (7 miles) is a peaceful spot for paddling and scenic strolls. Walkers can take on a stretch of the epic 70-mile Isle of Wight Coast Path (3 miles), while families will love the thrills at Blackgang Chine theme park (4.5 miles). The Dinosaur Expedition Centre (7.5 miles) is perfect for fossil hunting and learning about the island’s unique fossil heritage.
