Come and stay in the Cowshed and enjoy the beautiful Isle of Wight countryside


The Cowshed is a vintage style 3 star holiday cottage with two large bedrooms. Forming part of a converted barn it has oak beams, thick stone walls, traditional farm furniture and local artists paintings. The cottage is in a small rural hamlet that is sits in a Conservation Area, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and National Trust protected downland is close by.

Just a 10 minute drive away is the Island's county town of Newport with a large M&S, Sainsbury's, Co-op and Morrisons, scattered across the town are 2 excellent butchers (Hamiltons and Downers), an organic baker (The Market Bakery) and Farmhouse Fayre selling local produced fruit and veg. At the bottom of Sandy Lane is Radcliffe's a vegetable shop selling seasonal vegetables.

For the walkers and mountain bikers the nearest bridlepath is just at the end of the garden and leads to Carisbrooke Castle and the downs.
