Property code: IC160

This charming cottage is located on a small 12 acre farm within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It’s home to horses and a few free-range chickens, while the pond on site attracts ducks, moorhens, and the occasional heron. The lovely sandy beaches of Sandown are nearby, as is dog friendly Yaverland beach. The area is excellent for walking, with footpaths leading up onto the downs and towards the coast. Fishing ponds and bird and red squirrel watching are available in the water meadows, while a cycle track gives access to large parts of the island along the old railway tracks.

 

The cottage is a sympathetic barn conversion, offering attractive and comfortable accommodation for small families. It boasts underfloor heating and solar powered hot water. The compact kitchen is well-equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with freezer section, and a dishwasher, while a washing machine and tumble dryer are also available in the cottage. There’s a spacious and light open-plan lounge/diner which extends the width of the cottage, with patio doors opening onto the courtyard garden. Here you can relax in front of the wood burning stove on the comfortable sofa, perhaps watching the Smart TV. Beside the window is a pleasant dining area. Also on the ground floor is a wet room with shower and WC, while upstairs there’s a bathroom with bath, overhead shower, and WC. Also upstairs are two attractive bedrooms which enjoy stunning rural views - one spacious double and a cosy twin.

 

Enjoy the sunshine in the attractive enclosed courtyard, which has views over the paddocks to the pond. Garden furniture and a BBQ are provided so that meals can be enjoyed al fresco. Parking is available to the rear of the cottage, and there’s also space to store bicycles. There’s also access to a shared outbuilding beside the cottage which has a freezer.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay along with our two dogs at 2 Mead Cottages. The owners are very friendly, welcoming, and thoughtful but not intrusive. Everything you could wish for is provided and the yummy lemon drizzle cake, fresh eggs, milk, and flowers were much appreciated. We would recommend this venue and hope to revisit it in the future.

Lovely rural cottage on a small farm, with chickens ducks & geese outside the door. The owners are nearby & really helpful, providing welcome cake, fresh eggs & milk. Very close to a nature hide where you can see red squirrels and birds really close to you. Central location for all of the island & we had a wonderful break. Although a cottage for 4,Read more this would be best suited to two adults & two children. Hide

We loved staying in this cottage on a very picturesque small farm. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. The children loved being able to watch the chickens and horses. The nearby bike trail and red squirrel walk were great for local activities and we found plenty more attractions within a short drive. We'd love to visit again.

A lovely comfortable, and well equipped cottage in a tranquil location. The owners were very welcoming providing a delicious cake, milk and fresh eggs from their hens on arrival. The property is located within walking distance to Alverstone Mead nature reserve and Borthwood (National Trust). Excellent walks and cycling straight out of the front dooRead morer (as the cycle path which runs from Cowes to Sandown is about 200m from the cottage). Highly recommended. Hope to return soon. Hide
