Barton Manor Farmhouse

Set in the stunning grounds of The Barton Manor Estate, with access to a private beach, 200 acres of woodland and close to Cowes on the Isle of Wight, Barton Manor Farmhouse is a beautifully renovated 150-year-old farmhouse, perfect for a rather special holiday with family or group of friends. Adjacent to Osborne House, once the holiday home of Queen Victoria, this splendid residence has been sympathetically renovated and beautifully furnished to offer guests the ultimate dog friendly Island retreat.

From the moment you drive down the tree-lined avenue you will be enchanted. The farmhouse has many gorgeous original features, and these are evident as you enter the grand hallway with beautiful, restored floors and the staircase leading to the upper floor. The spacious ground floor is home to a charming sitting-room with TV and DVD player and living-room, elegantly furnished with a wood-burner for cosy nights at cooler times of the year. The kitchen/dining-room is fabulous with original tiled flooring and super stylish double electric oven and hob. There's a separate traditional pantry for storing your holiday essentials and a wonderful dining-area with wood-burner for cooler months and sociable meals with the family. If you want to keep ahead with the washing fear not, there's a washing machine and tumble-drier in the boot-room, along with plenty of space for muddy boots and beach gear. And there's also a handy wet-room too, perfect for rinsing salty toes and paws.

Climb the stairs to the first floor where you will find four gorgeous bedrooms, all with 'zip and link' beds so you can choose either twin bed configuration or double. Elegantly furnished in pastel shades, with charming furniture and artwork, a restful night is assured in these beautiful rooms. Bedrooms one and two are both en suite and bedrooms three and four share a bathroom so no queuing for the facilities here!

Outside, Barton Manor Farmhouse has a terrace with furniture and a barbecue, the perfect holiday pastime. With 200 acres of woodland to explore and access to a private beach (both shared with other guests and the owner) there are many special adventures to be had here. You can also enjoy other shared facilities including a games-room with table-tennis and tennis court (fee payable to the owner). With gorgeous grounds, woodland and a beach a short stroll away, a holiday here will be quite blissful.
