Located in the picturesque village of Shorwell on the Isle of Wight, this charming old cart house has been thoughtfully converted to offer a comfortable retreat for couples, friends, or families. Nestled within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and set on a working farm, the cottage provides a spacious ground-floor layout that includes a light-filled sitting room with a dining area, a well-equipped kitchen, a bathroom, and two inviting bedrooms, one featuring a king-size bed.

The exterior of the cottage boasts a large, private lawned garden complete with a patio area, ideal for enjoying outdoor activities or simply unwinding with a cup of coffee while observing the farm's daily operations. The historical context of Shorwell adds to the allure of the location, with its development centered around the ancient St. Peter's Church and three manor houses, the oldest of which, West Court, dates back to around 1500. This quaint village has a rich heritage, and it is said that Queen Victoria held a particular fondness for it, further emphasizing its charm and appeal.
For those seeking adventure, the area offers outstanding walking trails and exhilarating mountain biking opportunities. Just a short stroll from the cottage lies The Crown Inn, recognized in the AA's Britain's Best Pubs in 2011 and 2012, making it a must-visit for guests. Additionally, the nearby west coast beaches of Brighstone and Compton Bay present a unique chance to explore natural wonders, including the possibility of spotting dinosaur footprints at low tide, adding an element of excitement to the beach experience.
Beyond the immediate surroundings, visitors can venture towards Newport to discover the historic Carisbrooke Castle, which serves as a fantastic family attraction. This Shorwell cottage serves as an ideal base for exploring the diverse offerings of the Isle of Wight, making it a perfect getaway destination throughout the year, whether for relaxation or adventure.
