Close to the pretty village of Godshill, this cosy cottage is the perfect bolthole for family holidays on the Isle of Wight. Take your four-legged friend on countryside strolls or to the nearby sandy beaches at Shanklin and Ventnor, before returning to the farm to make the most of the children’s activities. Inside, this country cottage is warm and welcoming and boasts wonderful views over the orchard, while outside the garden is perfect for pooches.

Sociable and open-plan, the accommodation is ideal for families. Cook up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen, which contains everything you should need. Afterwards, hunker down in the lounge and enjoy an evening of TV, films or games with the family or simply admire the pretty view through the bay window. At the end of a long and tiring day, climb up to the first floor where both bedrooms are located, one of which boasts wonderful views over the countryside. Located on a farm, the surrounding grounds offer a range of fun activities for the whole family, from walks with llamas to fishing on the pond and feeding the animals.

Set on the outskirts of Godshill, this property is just 1 mile from the local tearooms, shops, pubs and model village. Beach lovers should head straight for Shanklin (4.5 miles) and Ventnor (5 miles), both of which welcome dogs outside of peak season. For those visiting during peak season, there is a range of year-round dog-friendly beaches to choose from, including Luccombe Bay (5 miles), Monks Bay (6 miles) and Watcombe Bay (16.5 miles). After a long walk, soak up some local history with a visit to Osborne House (10.5 miles) in East Cowes, or ride the world-famous chairlift to see The Needles (19.5 miles) rocks and coloured sands.

Had a fantastic holiday in this cottage. The area was so peaceful but close to Godshill, you could even walk in and have a meal and drink. The cottage was big, bed and sofa/chairs comfortable. Kitchen had everything you could want. Lots of wardrobe and chest of draws space. Lots of great walks in countryside.

Was a bit wary when booking about the 25 waiver or 200 deposit. Went for the 200 deposit option. Regretted as we have come back off holiday and have apparently damaged the cot. We left the cottage the same state it was in if not better as it wasnt very clean at all. Wouldnt recommend as it seems a bit of a scam to pull some extra money back. Pat teRead moresting was out of date on the electric equipment. Shame as godshill is a lovely place and good location to explore the island. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk - thank you for your review. We have spoken to the owner and your issue has now been resolved. Hide

The location of this cottage is lovely - very quiet and with lots of walks right on the doorstep. The bedrooms did get very warm when we stayed (it was an exceptionally warm week in May) but the downstairs stayed very cool. The general state of repair was not quite what we've come to expect from a holiday home but that is a subjective assessment baRead moresed on our expectations. Hide

The cottage was in a great location for lots of walks. When we were over it was a big foggy and windy but we still managed to get out and was nice to come back to a warm cottage. The farm was lovely and my children loved being shown around by the farmers granddaughter and getting to walk the ponies. Lovely place and would recommend.

Our stay at Pheasant Cottage Godshill was fabulous. It is an idyllic location and if you love animals you will be surrounded. Lots of lovely walks accessible from the cottage and also a short walk into Godshill. The owners Mark and Kathy are lovely friendly people. The cottage while very comfortable and clean is very well equipped allowing for those who prefer to self cater to cook scrumptious meals. We had an issue in that someone had left a CD jammed in the CD player. Mark was quick to respond and when he couldnt fix it went out that day and installed all new equipment. He then took the time to show us how to use it. Kathy will show you all the lovely animals and birds, a joy to watch the interaction. Highly recommended. We will be back! Hide
