Newly refurbished Osborne Forge is situated on the edge of 250 acres of breath-taking grade 1 historic parkland. Nestled within 2.5 acres of beautiful grounds, this exquisite holiday home offers stunning rural views and a tranquil escape. Built with bricks from Queen Victoria’s original forge, this modern property stands as a testament to the Island’s royal history. Perfectly situated between Osborne House, Osborne Golf Course, and Norris Castle Estate, it provides an idyllic setting for a peaceful and serene getaway. For those seeking family adventures, the Isle of Wight offers ample activities and opportunities, outdoor enthusiasts can embark on scenic walks right from the doorstep. Keep a lookout for the resident family of red squirrels that frequent the feeders around the property, adding to the charm and fun of this picturesque retreat.

Step into this beautiful home, where neutral décor and contemporary furnishings create a calming ambience throughout. Upon entry, a quiet second hallway to the left leads to two inviting bedrooms, one cosy twin and one spacious emperor, both enjoying pretty garden views. These rooms share a tastefully appointed bathroom, ensuring convenience for the guests. To the right, the heart of the home awaits: a stunning kitchen/dining area called ‘The Hive’. Featuring modern décor and a large solid oak table hand crafted from an ancient oak tree that once graced the estate. This area comfortably seats ten, making it perfect for family gatherings and morning planning sessions. A small restroom is conveniently located adjacent to the kitchen. Ascend the twisted oak staircase to discover three double bedrooms, each offering comfort, relaxation, and picturesque rural views. A wet room serves this upper level. The spacious and inviting living room called ‘The Loft’, with its vaulted ceiling, ample comfortable furniture, Bluetooth speakers and SmartTV, provides the perfect setting to unwind after a day of Island exploration. An additional bathroom is located off the living room.

Outside, the enchantment continues within secure and private grounds. Enjoy captivating views of the sea, surrounding woodland and relax in the hot tub whilst overlooking Norris Castle’s walled garden. The bright “Sunroom” accessed from the patio is perfect for savouring your morning coffee. The patio provides an ideal backdrop for alfresco dining in the sunshine or at night with the wonderful effect of up lit palm trees.

We had a wonderful stay with three generations, the house was well equipped, very clean & comfortable, and plenty of space for 10 around the dining table. A hamper was left for us with lovely locally sourced goodies! The grounds were amazing and we thoroughly made use of these and organised an Easter egg hunt for the children.

We stayed at the Osborne Forge for a family holiday with 3 children and 6 adults. Prior to our arrival we received a welcome pack from the owner with all the info we needed and communication with them was great. The house itself is spacious and set in beautiful gardens, the pictures dont do it justice. A gorgeous welcome hamper with local produce gRead morereeted us and the house itself was well equipped, very clean and presented to a very high standard. The perfect place to get away and relax.

Beautiful and comfortable house. Every part of it is lovely, but the upstairs sitting room stands out for being really amazing, we had so many happy times there. Katrina responded promptly and helpfully when we texted her for advice or information. We had such a good holiday, wished we had booked the house for longer, and were so sad to leave.
