Nestled in a picturesque countryside setting lies this delightful cottage on a 12-acre working farm. Located only a few miles from the beach, you and your beloved pups will be spoilt for choice in the variety of walks available from your front door. The property sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and its landscape is made up of spectacular beaches, flowing rivers, wildlife-rich downs and pretty meadows.

 

The property is one of two cottages and has been thoughtfully converted to provide a relaxing and comfortable retreat for both couples and small families. Bring along your four-legged family members and snuggle up in the cosy open-plan lounge/dining room in front of the roaring wood burner. Patio doors lead out to the attractive, enclosed courtyard where you can sit in the sunshine eating breakfast whilst planning your day ahead. You will also find a wet room on the ground floor with shower and WC. On the first floor are two pretty cottage-style bedrooms. Both bedrooms commanding sweeping views of the surrounding countryside.

Alverstone is an attractive little village situated on the east coast of the Isle of Wight, just a few miles from two stunning beaches.

Mead Cottage is perfect for dog owners and if you like walking and cycling, it's the ideal base. It's in a quiet rural setting with a large pond to walk around and lovely gardens to admire. The property is very well equipped and well laid out. The owners are inviting and chatty and very helpful and we hope to stay here again.

A lovely comfortable, and well equipped cottage in a tranquil location. The owners were very welcoming providing a delicious cake, milk and fresh eggs from their hens on arrival. The property is located within walking distance to Alverstone Mead nature reserve and Borthwood (National Trust). Excellent walks and cycling straight out of the front dooRead morer (as the cycle path which runs from Cowes to Sandown is about 200m from the cottage). Highly recommended. Hope to return soon. Hide

Lovely cottage. Perfect location. We were met by the owners who gave advice on the local area. There was freshly baked lemon cake, a pint of milk and tea and coffee waiting for us. Oh and fresh eggs from the chickens. Would definitely recommend.

Just beautiful! Practical, comfortable and in a location to die for. Our walks in the local area were amazing and considering we stayed at the height of summer we felt we were in a different world from the busier parts of the island. Owner was wonderful and an absolute treasure. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

An excellent cottage, dog friendly and with plenty of walks nearby. The cottage was close to lots of activities, but quiet and on a farm which added interest.
