Bring the whole family – two dogs included – to this smart working horse farm, within 2 miles of Newport. Complete with an on-site restaurant, adventure play area, livestock and an equestrian arena, the complex also has fabulous holiday properties including this two-bed period cottage, part of a former dairy barn conversion. Seamlessly fusing rustic and original features with practical modern design and convenience, it’s a brilliant base for a small family or even one or two couples to try their hand at horse riding and see what the rest of the Isle of Wight has to offer. Your VIPs (very important pups) even have their own exercise area on site!
The smart lounge/diner offers comfortable sofas and a Smart TV under an attractive exposed beam, with a dining table for four also in the room. Attractive hard flooring throughout the downstairs is practical for potentially mucky pups. The sleek fitted kitchen has all you’ll need for your self-catering stay and there is also a down stairs shower room. Upstairs, there’s one king-size and one twin bedroom; both are stylish and relaxing spaces with en-suite bathrooms. Thanks to versatile zip-and-link beds they can be either king-size or twin by arrangement. Outside, to the rear of the cottage, the enclosed, private garden area has outdoor furniture and a BBQ, while to the front is a shared landscaped garden and courtyard.
Spend some time horse riding with the on-site professionals while you’re here – no matter what level or experience you have. Or take the kids to the play park before refuelling at the smart restaurant and bar. You simply won’t get bored here. However, if you do want to see something else, why not lead the way to adventure along some of the island’s many walking and cycling trails to see things from a different perspective. Your canine pals will definitely thank you for it!
