Enjoy a relaxing countryside escape at this spacious farmhouse apartment in Whitwell on the Isle of Wight. Sleeping eight guests, this three-bedroom retreat offers a warm welcome to families and groups of friends, with the opportunity to meet all the farm’s animals, including lamas, peacocks and even reindeer.
Inside, the property combines farmhouse character with modern comfort. Step into the porch and head through the hall, which includes a downstairs cloakroom and storage for coats and bags. Upstairs, you’ll find the main living area: a bright open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with lovely rural views. The kitchen is fully equipped for family meals, while the dining table is perfect for suppers and planning tomorrow’s adventures. After dinner, sink into the sofas to watch a film on the TV. Along the hallway are two inviting king-size bedrooms and a lovely bunk room with two sets of bunk beds. A family bathroom completes the first floor. Outside, there’s plenty of room for everyone to unwind. Let the children play on the lawned garden while you fire up the BBQ and savour dining alfresco as the sun sets. Guests can also make use of the shared play area on the farm, adding to the fun of a group getaway. Private, off-road parking is available on site. The property can also be booked alongside two neighbouring apartments for larger gatherings.
Just 6 miles from Ventnor, you’ll find plenty to see and do – from boutique shops and seaside restaurants to the sandy beach and famous Botanic Garden. Venture further to discover Castle Haven Beach or Shepherd’s Chine (both within 8 miles) for a quieter day by the sea. Younger visitors will love Blackgang Chine (4.5 miles), the Dinosaur Expedition Centre (9 miles), and Amazon World Zoo (6 miles).
