Watch the horses in the fields as you unwind at this delightful Isle of Wight hideaway. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom, single-storey abode is situated at Havenstreet, 3.5 miles from Ryde. Step back in time with a 10-mile journey on a heritage steam train along the Havenstreet Steam Railway. Return to the cottage to soak up the sunshine on the patio or bask in the comforting glow of the wood burner.
Pause to take in the open views out across the countryside before making your way inside this stylish cottage. Find yourselves in a bright, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with a high vaulted and beamed ceiling and doors that can be opened up onto the fabulous outside space. Light the wood burner on chilly days, then sit back and savour the scenery. Find a gripping movie on the Smart TV and encourage everyone to watch it as they unwind after their busy day. The kitchen area is well fitted out for your self-catering and the table is carefully positioned so you can absorb the green vistas as you dine. When you are ready to retire for the night, two gorgeous king-size bedrooms await. One of these has an en-suite shower room and the other enjoys sole use of the family bathroom. Spill out into the sunshine and country air at every opportunity. Recline on the outside sofa with a book and a glass of chilled wine or beer on summer evenings. There is private, off-road parking for three cars.
