Situated in a beautiful rural location close to the historic town of Newport, this lovely cottage is situated on a 50-acre site that includes an equestrian centre, a family restaurant and bar, two playgrounds and farm animals (part of a local riding school). The nearby beach in Ryde (6 miles away) offers a great family day at the seaside with plenty of shops and no shortage of beachside eateries to choose from. For a family day out, why not explore Monkey Haven or Butterfly World (both 0.5 miles), Osborne House (4 miles) or the Isle of Wight Aqua Park (11 miles) offering something for everyone to enjoy. The lovers of outdoor pursuits will enjoy exploring the many trails on offer in the local area. There’s a wide choice of level purpose-made tracks along former railway lines which connect the island, including peaceful trails and more challenging, off-road bridleways.

This is a beautiful holiday cottage located on a purpose-built rural riding school and set within acres of stunning island countryside. Approaching the property, you’ll come through a striking archway and into a quaint, communal courtyard where you will find this lovely cottage. Entering the property, you’ll find yourself in a small reception hall leading to the spacious lounge/kitchen/diner. Featuring a well-equipped kitchen and a dining table, this open-plan, airy room provides the perfect social space, ideal for planning the day ahead over your morning coffee or debriefing the day over dinner. The lounge offers ample comfortable seating, a Smart TV and French doors which open onto the garden – it’s a great place to gather and watch a family film after a long day out exploring. Completing the ground floor is the downstairs shower room by the entrance to the cottage. Heading upstairs, you’ll find the master king-size bedroom with neutral and calming decor making this the ideal room to rest and unwind. You’ll also find a twin bedroom and a bunk bedroom. The main family bathroom completes this lovely holiday home.

Finally, French doors through the lounge lead you to the south-facing garden area with outdoor furniture and BBQ, ideal for al fresco dining in the sunshine, and out the front of the property there is a shared garden with seating. This property's eco credentials include solar water heating and rainwater harvesting, making it a more sustainable cottage choice.

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.
