Cooks Castle Farm - The Farriers

The Farriers sits on a working farm in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with something rare: direct access onto the old railway line that forms part of the Red Squirrel Trail, a 32-mile route through the island's countryside. Walkers and cyclists can step straight onto miles of bridleways and footpaths without needing a car. Ventnor's coastal attractions are within reach too, along with the usual Isle of Wight draws—beaches, villages, cycling routes—all close enough to explore.

The cottage itself is a converted farm building with everything on the ground floor. You get a combined living, dining and kitchen space with French doors opening onto a garden that overlooks the farm fields. The kitchen has an electric oven, hob and dishwasher. There are two bedrooms—one with a kingsize bed, one with a single—and a shower room with a walk-in shower. Bed linen, towels and wifi are included; heating and electricity are covered. Private parking for one car is on site, and if you're running an electric vehicle, there's a charging point available at cost.

The cottage sleeps three and is yours alone. One dog can stay free. No smoking inside. Check-in is after 15:30 and checkout before 09:00.
