Whisk your special someone off for a romantic break at this adorable detached annexe set in the grounds of the owner’s farmhouse near village of Havenstreet. Sleeping two people in one bedroom, it’s perfect for couples who are in search of an idyllic base to call home while they discover the Isle of Wight together. Spend a tranquil morning exploring the beautifully-preserved Victorian railway station at Havenstreet before you hop aboard a heritage train for a romantic journey through the countryside. In the evening, come home to share an al fresco dinner in your cottage’s private seating area.

Pull up in your private parking spot and step inside this adorable annexe. You’ll be greeted by beautiful open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area – a characterful space with striking exposed beams and stylish furnishings. Cook up a storm in the farmhouse-style kitchen area and share an intimate dinner at the dining table, or head out into the private seating area to dine alfresco. Afterwards, snuggle up in the lounge area and crack open a bottle of something fizzy. Upstairs you’ll find a super-king-size bedroom (can be converted into a twin on request) and a stylish shower room. In the morning, wake up and open the doors of the Juliet-style balcony and enjoy uninterrupted country views while you sip a freshly-brewed coffee.

Take a flavourful detour to The Garlic Farm (2.5 miles), where you can sample an incredible array of garlic-inspired delicacies, from chutneys to ice cream. Alternatively, set off for a stroll along Appley Beach (2.5 miles), where the views across the Solent are spectacular. Or soak up some traditional seaside fun at Ryde Pier (3 miles), and then treat yourself to a tipple at the Isle of Wight Distillery.
