A charming and pretty recently converted medieval brewhouse, renovated in contemporary style with a quirky mix of modern and retro furnishing, and located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Dark Skies.
2 comfortable and cosy bedrooms (with blackout blinds), 2 well-equipped wet rooms (nice hot showers and good pressure), and a thoroughly modern kitchen area -- with induction hob, oven, dishwasher, fridge, washer-dryer and all the cooking and eating equipment you need -- leading on to a dining area and beyond that to a cosy yet roomy lounging area. So comfortable you might not want to get off the sofa!
6 minutes' drive from the pretty village of Shorwell with pub and village shop, a scattering of other lovely little villages and pubs nearby, and close to lots of things to do locally: seaside towns, footpaths, beaches, water sports and several children’s attractions, including Blackgang Chine on the dinosaur-famous Jurassic Coast, Tapnell Farm for climbing, shooting, go-karting and more, and Robin Hill with its falconry, jungle heights, toboggan run and other adventures. Golfing, fishing and clay shooting are also on offer. The entire island is reachable within half an hour, with the exception of Bembridge, which is 40 minutes.
We are lucky to be within reach of some of the island’s best foodie restaurants and gastropubs — in Ventnor, Cowes, Yarmouth, Newport and smaller villages all around. Suggestions and recommendations are provided in the cottage -- and can also be sent in advance.
Private outside terrace with tables and seating and the most fantastic view, plus a dry-storage box for muddy boots.
Own drive and parking space for several cars.
The cottage looks over a lake that's teeming with wildlife -- and the view carries on towards the downs -- it's scenery that's hard to beat and a sense of quiet that's hard to find.
