Shepherds Cottage (Pet Friendly £), Ventnor

Isle of Wight. Sleeps up to 2

Shepherds Cottage is positioned just behind and adjacent to the main Farmhouse. The perfect example of bijou accommodation, this one bedroom stone cottage is the smallest of the four holiday properties on the farm. Full of character and suitably snug, this property lends itself to couples looking for a relaxing break, maybe with a dog to accompany them on long walks through the beautiful countryside. Enter the property directly into the open plan kitchen living area, which takes up most of the ground floor. Although small, the kitchen is fully equipped, while the 'table for two' with bench seating is in close proximity, making it quick and easy to serve up. A shower room completes the downstairs layout and a narrow spiral staircase from the corner of the kitchen takes you to the loft bedroom, where white walls offset the exposed beams, adding a layer of interest to the light, airy room. There is space enough for a king size bed, from where you can star gaze through the overhead velux window. Whilst there is no private garden, an exterior table and chairs are positioned in a quiet courtyard, ideal for morning coffee or evening drinks.

Little Span Farm occupies the western slopes of the Rew Valley, providing some magnificent views of the Island and the English Channel. Situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it used to be part of the Appuldurcombe Estate and is now run as an attractive grassland farm, with grazing sheep. Your stay will allow you to relax and unwind, surrounded by beautiful downland and woods owned by the National Trust.

This apartment is located in Ventnor. Appuldurcombe House and Old St Boniface Church are local landmarks, and some of the area's attractions include Isle of Wight Owl and Falconry Centre and Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary. Oceanblue Sea Charters and House of Chilli are also worth visiting.
