Featuring three bedrooms – one an en-suite – and a novel reverse-level layout, this rural residence is just 2 miles from Ventnor. Fabulous exposed beams frame the upper-floor living room, where French doors lead onto a private deck. Explore the coastline and enjoy walks across the nearby chalk downs – a pair of pets can holiday here too.
With Stenbury Down on the doorstep, this characterful stone-built cottage provides a peaceful setting for a party of six. An innovative layout maximises the space well – step through the entrance and to your right the first of three welcoming bedrooms has a king-size bed and an en-suite shower room. To the left, there’s a bunk room – the property welcomes children aged 6 and over – and a twin room which can, on request, be made up as a double. A spiral staircase leads to the upper floor, where a country-style kitchen has all you’ll need for fuss-free self-catering. There’s a large table here, while for more formal dining there’s another within the impressive living room, which also boasts a wood burner and a wonderful framework of exposed wooden beams. Stretch out on your choice of sofa to watch the Smart TV or step through the French doors for gorgeous countryside views. Private decking complete with outdoor seating and a BBQ leads onto a lawned area. There’s also parking for two cars. If you’d like to share your holiday with a larger group, this property can be booked alongside others that sleep a further 14 guests – please contact us for details.
