Treat your family and pets to a stay at this characterful farmhouse on the Isle of Wight – and have donkeys as your neighbours. Its gorgeous countryside setting makes it a wonderful base for human and canine nature lovers. Spend a leisurely afternoon exploring the tip of the island (2 miles) or strolling along the River Medina (1.5 miles) with your pets, followed by a quiet evening sizzling up a tasty BBQ in your generously-sized garden. With space for eight guests and three dogs, this property is excellently suited to a group holiday with family or friends.
There’ll be ample space for your group to spread out, and many rooms have dual-aspect windows allowing plenty of light in. The decor throughout is cheerful and uplifting. After a day of exploring, the kids’ll love relaxing in the snug/games room, equipped with a TV, table football and comfy seating. In the lounge, enjoy some entertainment on the Smart TV with a glass of something alcoholic in your hand. Or catch up with some reading as your worn-out fluff balls doze contentedly at your feet. For eating, you can use the table in the kitchen or enjoy group meals in the dining room. Good weather? Spend quality time with your loved ones and pets in the charming garden under the shelter of a beautiful willow tree. The wild space at the rear is ideal for inventive children’s games, while the gravelled patio provides a comfortable setting for dining alfresco, with views over the river as your backdrop.
You’ll be 1 mile from the nearest shop and 1.5 from pubs and cafes in the nearby town of Cowes. There are dog restrictions in place on the island’s main beaches during the warmer months so if you’re holidaying in summer, head to one of the many restriction-free beaches, such as Seagrove (12 miles) or Bembridge (14 miles).
