Strike out along picturesque Isle of Wight country paths with your faithful friend bounding beside you. Nestled on a farm at Whitwell, 6 miles from Ventnor, this three-bedroom retreat is a paw-some choice for families or groups of friends with a canine companion. Take your cheerful chum and the youngsters off to wander round the farm with you, then return to watch them race up and down your large private lawn together.
Bring dogs, children and shopping all in through the front door, then discard shoes, coats and dog leads in the hall. Let everyone bound up to the first floor to discover your generous living and sleeping space. Head into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to dish dinner up to hounds and humans. Congregate in here too, to play games, chat about your day and give your delighted dog lots of love and attention. Choose a good film on TV and gather round to watch as your contented canine dozes at your feet. When you are ready to retire for the night, make your way down the corridor to the bedrooms. These include two comfortable king-sizes and a bunk bedroom, with two sets of bunks, that the youngsters will adore. Savour the outdoor living experience offered at this farmhouse. Let your cheerful chum burn off some steam while you relax in the sunshine over a cold drink or delicious meal. There is parking for one car nearby, with additional space elsewhere on the farm.
