With on-site activities including horse-riding and a children’s playground, this rural property is wonderful for a family holiday or trip among friends. It’s located on an equestrian centre featuring farm animals including sheep and pigs, as well as a bar and restaurant you can use. You’ll be 1 mile from the nearest pub and 2 miles from Newport, the island’s main town. This quaint accommodation has got space for six people over three bedrooms.

The inside is decorated in a clean and modern style, with its contemporary kitchen part of a spacious open-plan living area. You’ll have comfy sofas and a Smart TV for gathering around a film in the evenings, plus a dining table and chairs where you can enjoy leisurely holiday meals. Outside, there’s a private garden with outdoor furniture and a BBQ for sizzling up a feast on warm evenings. Get some drinks and snacks in and make the most of this peaceful space, with a shared garden also available for if you fancy mixing with other guests. If it’s chilly, settle in with a book or perhaps run yourself a nice hot bath in the pristine bathroom.

When you’re ready to venture outside this 50-acre site, you can head into Newport where you’ll find plenty of shops and restaurants. A little out of town there’s a golf course and the medieval Carisbrooke Castle (both 3 miles). If you’re keen to be out in the sticks, make a beeline for the chalk downlands, heathlands and meadows of the Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (3 miles). The Blackgang Chine theme park (10.5 miles) will be popular if there are youngsters in your party, while the seaside resorts of Ryde (5 miles) and Sandown (7.5 miles) make wonderful days out.

For a week holiday paying a lot of money it is unfortunate the place has pictures and facility listing rather old. In reality the restaurant is permanently closed, the playground with bits missing, and feeling of not as listed. The cottage itself COULD be lovely with an addition of an air fryer is a lovely touch, but again wardrobe doors all missinRead moreg compared to pictures, half the flowers not there, and when asked to get a dirty bedsheet replaced was promised would happen and then left undone.
