Holiday cottage to rent in Ventnor, Isle of Wight

Accommodation details

Book a big-group getaway at this elegant country residence. Located on a sheep farm near Ventnor , the period property provides an opulent setting for a party of up to 12 people and two pets. Stretch out by the wood burner, enjoy scenic views from the conservatory or savour al fresco food and drinks in the expansive, enclosed garden – this holiday home will suit every season.

Exposed beams, stone walls and wooden floors confirm the heritage of this fine-looking farmhouse, which sits within the verdant landscape above Ventnor. Step first into the light-filled conservatory and find a choice of seating; enjoy the far-reaching countryside views while overhead shading ensures comfort in the warmer months.

Adjacent, the wood burner and antique furniture add ambiance to formal meals in the dining room. For laid-back breakfasts and snacks, the contemporary-cottage-style kitchen has another dining suite to one end and a central island unit close to its modern range-style cooker. Complementing all the must-haves of home here, a utility room features laundry equipment.

Along the hallway there's a convenient cloakroom and then a stunning sitting room, complete with a choice of sofas and window seats, and a wood burner. Settle down for an evening in front of the Smart TV, choose a board game for multi-generational fun or gather round the piano for an old-fashioned singsong; this room is where you'll make memories to cherish.

When it's time to sleep, head upstairs to discover four dreamy bedrooms, including two king-size en-suite rooms, a charming children's twin room, and a sumptuous master room featuring a king-size four-poster bed. Contrasting its period furnishings, the master's lavish en-suite features an indulgent free-standing bath and on-trend decor.

A separate shower room completes the comfort for all those sleeping on this level. Up on the top floor, two further bedrooms – a charming twin and a spacious super-king-size room – along with another bathroom completes the accommodation. Your living space extends into the enclosed garden, where you can soak up sunshine, fresh air and enjoy a BBQ surrounded by countryside.

There's parking for six cars here, and if you'd like to holiday with an even larger group, this property can be booked alongside others that sleep a further 8 guests. Please contact us for details. Explore the landscape on your doorstep – the nearby chalk downs provide an invigorating hike rewarded with dramatic and varied views.
