This holiday home is perfect for every member of the family, especially any beloved pet dogs. Their holiday will be a dream here, as will yours, thanks to being set within a horse riding school and farm. There’s so much to sniff out on-site for your four-legged friend, and any children will love the play park too. Plus, beautiful countryside surrounds the property, so there are plenty of walks available right from the doorstep.

Inside, you’ll find that this purpose-built cottage has everything you should need for an easy getaway. You’ll start by going through the quaint reception hall into the open-plan living area. It has a lounge space with comfortable seating, while the kitchen area has everything you need for a self-catering holiday. The dining area has a large, spacious table which can accommodate all guests. Also on the ground floor, you’ll find the first bedroom, which has a king-size bed. To complete the downstairs accommodation, there is a wet room – ideal for hosing off any muddy or sandy paws. Upstairs are three more bedrooms. One is a king-size with an en-suite shower room. The final two rooms are both twins, which can share the family bathroom. Outside, there is a wonderful private patio garden, complete with a table and chairs, while to the front is a communal garden with more seating.

The Isle of Wight is a fantastic family holiday destination. The cottage is perfectly placed to make the most of the island, with the nearest beach at Ryde, just 6 miles away. There are plenty of eateries there, as well as traditional seaside attractions for children. Other great activities include a trip to Monkey Haven, only half a mile away, while Carisbrooke Castle is great for history and letting off steam in its vast open spaces.

The location is brilliant - beautiful farm and so is the property. Didn't have any problems with that. The only 2 areas that were a concern - the water pressure in the 2nd bathroom was nearly zero if someone else was using the shower at the same time. Also, there could have been bin bags, kitchen and toilet roll and cleaning soap etc kept so it couRead moreld be easy. Hide

Did our gang of 3 generations (ages 5 to 74) very nicely. Location is excellent and having a restaurant on-site for a latish arrival was really good news. The staff were unfailingly polite and helpful.
