About this property
This welcoming holiday retreat offers the best of both worlds for couples and small families thanks to its tranquil, traffic-free setting close to a wealth of popular attractions perfect for all ages. Set in a verdant country park, guests will also benefit from two well-stocked fishing lakes – ideal for any keen anglers. Just 2 miles away is the vibrant coastal town of Ryde, where a long promenade, sandy beach, seaside attractions, and a wealth of places to shop, eat and drink await. Venture further afield and see more of the island with a trip onboard the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, departing from Havenstreet (2.5 miles). Other popular destinations within 8 miles include the historic Carisbrooke Castle as well as Osborne House – Queen Victoria’s beloved retreat surrounded by beautiful gardens and ocean views.
Before heading up the steps to the holiday home’s entrance, take a moment to soak in its tranquil country park surroundings of tall trees and rolling lawns. Enter the property, kick off sandy walking shoes in the hallway and walk through to the social heart of the home – the open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner. Soaked in natural light thanks to French doors and floor-to-ceiling windows, this airy room makes it easy to unwind between your days of island adventures. Settle in the lounge area; sink into the soft sofa and flick on the Smart TV to catch up on your favourite series or fire up the wood burner-effect electric fire on chillier days. When stomachs begin to rumble, find that the chic kitchen space boasts everything needed for holiday feasts, including a handy island with two stools to keep the chosen chef company. Gather at the window-side dining table to eat, or head out to the decking to dine alfresco when the weather is generous. At the end of each day away, retire to a choice of two restful bedrooms – a master double with an en-suite shower room and a cosy twin room that makes use of the well-appointed family bathroom.
Outside, the sun-soaked decking area almost wraps around the entire property, offering a splendid spot to sip on morning coffees and evening tipples, dine alfresco at the table and chairs, or simply enjoy the island views from the furniture. Enjoy peaceful strolls around the country park’s grounds and try your hand at fishing in one of two well-stocked on-site lakes. Guests will also benefit from private parking for two cars.
