Benefitting from the tranquillity of Isle of Wight’s countryside in Niton is the wonderful Hillside Farm Retreat. This dog-friendly, single-storey holiday home boasts a welcoming interior completed by a sumptuous double bedroom, enclosed garden with furniture and barbecue and a fabulous location with access to the breath-taking coast and a whole host of walking trails; an idyllic choice for small families, friends or couples looking to explore the Isle of Wight. Utilise the off-road parking space before making your way inside where the gentle warmth of the electric flame-effect stove greets you. Unwind on the plush sofa here and flick on Netflix while the designated chef rustles up a hearty meal in the fully-equipped kitchen which can be enjoyed at the dining table or alfresco at the patio furniture. Be sure to raise a toast to your getaway before washing off the day’s adventures in the shower room ready to slope off to sleep in the double bedroom. During the day take advantage of on-site facilities including beauty treatments that can be pre-booked or get acquainted with the resident dog (Pippa), ponies, chickens and even guinea pigs! If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic dwelling venture into the heart of Niton where you can stock up on all of your self-catering essentials at the local store or enjoyed a well-earned break from the kitchen or date night at The White Lion or the 16th-century The Buddle Inn. Be sure to take advantage of the Isle of Wight’s dramatic coastline and explore Whale Chine Nature Reserve which boasts breath-taking cliff top walks and unbeatable views across the sea or while away sunny days upon the glorious golden sands of Shepherds Chine Beach. Other must-see attractions on the island include the medieval Carisbrooke Castle, Dinosaur Isle interactive Museum, Brading Roman Villa and Amazon World Zoo; guests can even get discounted tickets for the ferry to the mainland where you can explore Portsmouth, Southampton and the beautiful New Forest National Park. Make unforgettable memories at Hillside Farm Retreat!
