Make yourself at home in this elegant period property in a charming village which is sandwiched between an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a popular town. After a day of visiting attractions, long coastal walks or some shopping in the local seaside town of Ventnor, return to this comfortable property where you can dine alfresco in the sheltered garden, or curl up on one of the sofas in front of the flickering wood burner-effect electric fire.

This historical building which according to records King Charles II stayed in oozes character and charm. Inside there is a small porch area which leads to a spacious horseshoe-shaped kitchen with a round table and chairs, which is ideal for sitting at for breakfast.

A very comfortable accommodation with a very hospitable host. The village Niton has an excellent, well-stocked local shop so travelling to a supermarket is not really necessary. And theres a nice pub as well, if you do want to eat out!

An exceptional property, full of history but with all mod cons, comfortable and relaxing, well sited for all parts of the IOW. Wendy went out of her her way to settle us in on arrival and made us very welcome including treats for our dog. Thank you Wendy.
