A sunny country home surrounded by colourful wild garden and situated in a peaceful location near the coastal town of Cowes. This homely hideaway is a wonderful base for a family escape or holiday with friends, plus up to three tufty-pawed companions. Serious cyclists and leisurely peddlers alike can enjoy cruising along the scenic Medina Estuary Circular Route (within 5 miles), before gathering for a sociable al fresco supper at the garden table.

This charming farmhouse features a warm cottage interior with light-flooded rooms, soft neutral tones, and squishy seating aplenty. Shrug off outer layers and towel down muddy paws before venturing inside. Get competitive with a high-stake round of table tennis in the cosy snug/games room. Padding into the lounge, crack open a cold tipple and sink onto the seats for a blether while overlooking the tranquil farmland beyond. Keen chefs can rustle up an evening meal in the airy shaker kitchen. Thumb through a local guidebook perched at the breakfast table or graze through a pre-dinner snack board. For a more formal feasting affair, congregate in the elegant diner styled in soothing hues and featuring an original fireplace. Ascend the staircase to find four inviting bedrooms, including a spacious super-king, an en-suite super-king, and two bright twins. Completing the property is a large family bathroom with bath. Start the day with a morning brew and warm pastries in the garden beneath the willow tree, explore the wild garden, or enjoy an afternoon BBQ on the gravelled patio overlooking the River Medina.

Feel the wind in your hair as you embark on a cruise along the glistening Solent Strait from Cowes harbour (2 miles). Enjoy a tranquil stroll along Cowes Beach (1.5 miles) to spot regattas bobbing in the water then peruse the opulent grounds of Osborne House (8 miles).

A lovely farm cottage, we were a family of 6 adults 1 teenager and 2 infants aged 2 and nearly 1. Plenty of room for all of us, very spacious property, with everything you would need catered for. The only downside to property is that there is only 1 shower which is situated in the ensuite bedroom. The main bathroom has a bath with a shower head butRead more has no screen so could not really be used as a proper shower. We had no problems though we just shared. We would highly recommend staying here. Hide

Lovely spacious and very well equipped farmhouse, with secure gardens for the dog and with two very friendly donkeys in the field next door. Peaceful setting with views across the valley. Perfect for our stay on the Isle of Wight!

Very very comfortable and well equipped and we all felt very at home there - adults, children and dogs! The pull-out gate on the stair was brilliant and even the youngest (aged 7) never forgot to hook it up again. Children loved the games table. Huge thanks for the welcome biscuits, sweets, dog treats & pumpkin, & the souvenir tea towel. Location vRead moreery handy for the Cowes ferry & for travelling all over the island. We loved our stay.
