The unbridled beauty of the Isle of Wight is yours to explore from this wonderful, pet-welcoming cottage. Set on a quiet estate surrounded by patchwork fields and mighty trees, this holiday home invites you to get out into the great outdoors and let Rover lead the way on many unforgettable adventures. A top-dog choice for any holiday, this property sleeps a total of four guests, with two canine companions coming along too. You can follow a pretty footpath from the cottage to Godshill (1.5 miles), a thatched-roof village with tons of provincial charm.

This single-storey cottage allows your dog to rest peacefully with their entire pack just a few steps away. Enter via the conservatory and give muddy paws and fur a wipe-down before heading inside. The kitchen/diner and the cosy lounge are separate from one another, allowing some guests to curl up with the TV on and a dog at their feet whilst others can cook, chat, or get stuck into a board game at the table. Bring everyone together to spend time outdoors, enjoying the large, enclosed space that’s shared with neighbouring properties for pets to run around. Back inside, two inviting bedrooms await you, a spacious king-size with countryside views of the adjacent fields, and a light and airy twin. Completing this property is the shower room with WC.

Nearby Godshill really is a serene and picturesque holiday location, excellent for walking around, and stopping off in a tearoom or pub for a refreshment. The village’s beloved attraction, the Model Village, is pet-friendly for well-behaved doggos on short leads. A little further away, visit the coastal town of Shanklin (5.5 miles). This typical Victorian seaside resort boasts a rich history and is famously home to the poet, Keats. It has a beautiful beach with a dog-friendly zone close to Shanklin Chine. Many of the eateries that line the beach are also enthusiastic about inviting pets to come and visit.

We spent a lovely relaxing week in Blakesley Cottage, such a peaceful location and attractive, well maintained grounds for our dog to enjoy. Fiona & Mark are exceptionally welcoming and kind owners, they had gone to every trouble with so many thoughtful details to create a real home from home. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, masses of sRead moretorage space, and a generous welcome pack, as well as being a perfect base from which to explore the island. Thank you so much, we will be returning! Hide

This is a super cottage, well placed for exploring the island with several walks directly from the property. It's lovingly equipped with everything carefully chosen and good quality. The grounds are extensive and shared, so it was not possible to leave the door open to allow the dog to rest up outside unsupervised, as he would at home, but they areRead more delightful for exploring together with the dog. Very welcoming and helpful owners. We would happily recommend for a peaceful break. Hide
