The two bedroom cottage has been loving restored with your comfort in mind for you to have a relaxing stay whilst enjoying the stunning peaceful, rural location in an AONB which forms the Heritage coast in South Wight, also known as Back of the Wight. The Byre is accessed directly from the lane, up a flight of eleven steps onto the private terrace, and then down four steps to your front door which leads you into the lobby. To the right is the kitchen and on the left is the downstairs bedroom with a superking bed (or two twins) and an ensuite shower room. A double bedroom with a kingsize bed shares the first floor with a family bathroom with bath and shower. The spacious kitchen is fully equipped and has a large table so dining together is comfortable and relaxing. The lounge is also spacious with a Smart 49” freesat LG television, comfy seating and soft lighting makes for a cosy night in. From the first floor bedroom, lounge, kitchen and terrace you will enjoy uninterrupted views (there are a few ponies) towards Tennyson Down and its white cliffs, the Needles and the coast from Whale Chine along to Compton and Freshwater Bay. The private terrace catches the morning sun for breakfast and is perfect to have dinner and watch the amazing sunsets over The Needles. There is offroad parking for 2 cars and plenty of secure storage for bikes. The cottage has been finished to a very high standard, including fast Wi-Fi internet connection whilst in a comfortable cottage in a beautiful setting. The coastal path and numerous country paths are right on the doorstep, along with the round the island cycle route which passes in front of the cottage. Blackgang Chine, the oldest theme park in Europe dating back to 1800, is a 5 minute drive away, The Wight Mouse pub is a 20 minute walk across the fields, has a huge garden overlooking the sea and serves food all day. With the famous Military Road at the end of the Lane it is a superb location to explore the whole Island and the numerous walking routes, cycle ways, attractions and beaches including those on the south of the Island; Compton Beach, which is a must for surfers, Brook Beach and Freshwater Bay and of course the rest of the Island; including Shanklin and Sandown only a 20 minute drive away and the same for, Alum Bay (The Needles), Colwell (home to The Hut) and Yarmouth, the furthest towns are Cowes and Ryde and they are only a 30 minute drive, nowhere is far on the Island. There are plenty of fabulous pubs, restaurants and cafe's either overlooking the sea, nestled in the countryside or in one of the many quaint villages which are home to thatched cottages and stone buildings.

Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fabian G. 30 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hidden Gem - Cozy Cottage IOW This beautiful holiday place, artistically converted from a barn to cottage won't disappoint you. The 10/10 reviews here do not exaggerate either. This is a hidden away gem in the countryside of IOW facing the west coast. The serenity here is second to none yet at the same time it is not far from some of the greatest tourists hotspots. From the master bedroom you can enjoy seaviews. Sitting around the kitchen table you may watch the sunset. The place is beautifully decorated and very comfortable furnished. For added peace of mind there is even a small terrace where you can enjoy nature and the beautiful surroundings. The hostess thought of everything that makes a holiday stay pleasant. In the living room there are even board-games to play and plenty guides on how to explore the IOW. The Living room is tastefully decorated, The Beds are very comfortable, The kitchen is very well equipped and the bathrooms are spotless clean. What more can you ask for? a true home away from home. The hostess is welcoming nice and friendly Thank you for the wonderful hospitality! Fabian G and Kids ##### Fabian G.

The property was beautiful, spotlessly clean, well maintained, with everything to make it home from home. Very well kitted out kitchen, large fluffy bath towels, super comfortable beds and bed linen, and a sweet little terrace which was a sun trap. Lovely views from several of the windows, and lots of privacy. Rachel was a great host, supplying us with lots of recommendations, and a fan for the bedroom when the mini heatwave made it uncomfortably warm. Quite possibly the best Vrbo (and other platform) self catering we’ve stayed in since embracing staycations in the last 15 years. Should we return to the IoW I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. ##### Diane D.

The property was beautifully decorated in a modern style and we enjoyed spending time at the property as well as exploring the Isle of Wight. Rachel was available to meet us on arrival and sent a very helpful email in advance of our stay with information about the local area. A short drive to Compton Bay for fossil hunting and Black Gang Chine theme park which our two children (9 and 7 years old) both enjoyed. We also enjoyed dining at The Wight Mouse which is nearby. We would recommend this property to others. ##### Andrea P.
