Nestled in a picturesque countryside setting lies this delightful cottage on a 12-acre working farm. Located only a few miles from the beach, you and your beloved pups will be spoilt for choice in the variety of walks available from your front door. The property sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and its landscape is made up of spectacular beaches, flowing rivers, wildlife-rich downs and pretty meadows.

 

The property is one of two cottages and has been thoughtfully converted to provide a relaxing and comfortable retreat for both couples and small families. Bring along your four-legged family members and snuggle up in the cosy open-plan lounge/dining room in front of the roaring wood burner. Patio doors lead out to the attractive, enclosed courtyard where you can sit in the sunshine eating breakfast whilst planning your day ahead. You will also find a wet room on the ground floor with shower and WC. On the first floor are two pretty cottage-style bedrooms. Both bedrooms commanding sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. There is a bathroom with bath, overhead shower and WC upstairs and so there will be no queues for the bathroom here.  

 

Alverstone is an attractive little village situated on the east coast of the Isle of Wight, just a few miles from two stunning beaches. Sandown Beach (3 miles) is one of the island’s most prestigious and famous beaches due to its rich golden sands and attractive pier.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay along with our two dogs at 2 Mead Cottages. The owners are very friendly, welcoming, and thoughtful but not intrusive. Everything you could wish for is provided and the yummy lemon drizzle cake, fresh eggs, milk, and flowers were much appreciated. We would recommend this venue and hope to revisit it in the future.

Lovely rural cottage on a small farm, with chickens ducks & geese outside the door. The owners are nearby & really helpful, providing welcome cake, fresh eggs & milk. Very close to a nature hide where you can see red squirrels and birds really close to you. Central location for all of the island & we had a wonderful break. Although a cottage for 4,Read more this would be best suited to two adults & two children. Hide

We loved staying in this cottage on a very picturesque small farm. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. The children loved being able to watch the chickens and horses. The nearby bike trail and red squirrel walk were great for local activities and we found plenty more attractions within a short drive. We'd love to visit again.
