The cottage is situated within the 11-acre grounds of Greenwood Farm, which are available for guests to enjoy as they wish. There are stables and paddocks available for use (arranged direct with the owner) and a public footpath runs along the farm that connects to Brading High Down and beyond. Peace and quiet flora and fauna abounds. Attractions nearby within easy walking distance include Brading Roman Villa, one of the finest Roman sites in the UK. Its visitor centre and museum offers unique insights into Roman life in Britain, with exhibits ranging from beautifully preserved mosaic floors to an extensive collection of Roman archaeology.
The island has become a real hot spot for cycling enthusiasts with a choice of challenging off-road bridleways, peaceful byways and level purpose-made tracks running along former railway lines. You can cycle across the width of the island to the famous Needles landmark or try the full round the island route, which is 66 miles long and is used for the annual Isle of Wight Randonnee held over the bank holiday in May. You can also travel along the route at a more leisurely pace, stopping off along the way at one of the many restaurants, pubs and cafés that can be found in the quaint villages and towns.
Other outdoor pursuits on the island include horse riding, fishing, paragliding, golf and water sports. There are numerous attractions across the island to discover for all ages, such as The Needles (with its chairlift, amusement park, boat rides, lighthouse and coloured sands of Alum Bay), Blackgang Chine, Dinosaur Isle, the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, Ventnor Botanical Gardens, Tapnell Farm Park and Carisbrooke Castle - or why not pay a visit to Queen Victoria’s favourite holiday residence, Osborne House and its gardens? The sailing towns of Yarmouth and Cowes also make for a great day out. Beach 1 mile. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

We had a wonderful stay at Greenwood cottage. The cottage was well equipped and beautifully positioned on a farm. My children loved visiting the animals every morning and had plenty of space to explore. The hosts were very friendly and even supplied us with a welcome basket. We would recommend.

Comfortable and relaxing stay. Spacious, comfortable accomodation with so many items supplied that we did not have to go out shopping on arrival. Friendly and helpful hosts. Quiet countryside location. Good location from which to take walks. There was nothing we did not like.
