Close to the pretty village of Godshill, this cosy cottage is the perfect bolthole for family holidays on the Isle of Wight. Take your four-legged friend on countryside strolls or to the nearby sandy beaches at Shanklin and Ventnor, before returning to the farm to make the most of the children’s activities. Inside, this country cottage is warm and welcoming and boasts wonderful views over the orchard, while outside the garden is perfect for pooches.
Sociable and open-plan, the accommodation is ideal for families. Cook up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen, which contains everything you should need. Afterwards, hunker down in the lounge and enjoy an evening of TV, films or games with the family or simply admire the pretty view through the bay window. At the end of a long and tiring day, climb up to the first floor where both bedrooms are located, one of which boasts wonderful views over the countryside. Located on a farm, the surrounding grounds offer a range of fun activities for the whole family, from walks with llamas to fishing on the pond and feeding the animals.
Set on the outskirts of Godshill, this property is just 1 mile from the local tearooms, shops, pubs and model village. Beach lovers should head straight for Shanklin (4.5 miles) and Ventnor (5 miles), both of which welcome dogs outside of peak season. For those visiting during peak season, there is a range of year-round dog-friendly beaches to choose from, including Luccombe Bay (5 miles), Monks Bay (6 miles) and Watcombe Bay (16.5 miles). After a long walk, soak up some local history with a visit to Osborne House (10.5 miles) in East Cowes, or ride the world-famous chairlift to see The Needles (19.5 miles) rocks and coloured sands.
