Rossiter’s Vineyard Barn - Dornfelder

Families and couples looking for a quieter base on the Isle of Wight, or groups of four seeking something beyond a standard holiday let, will find Rossiter's Vineyard Barn – Dornfelder suits the bill. The single-storey conversion sits in Wellow, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the island's western side, handily placed for the sailing town of Yarmouth (a 5-minute drive or 15-minute cycle away) and the broader network of coastal and inland routes radiating outward.

The property has two bedrooms – one with a king bed, the other with two singles – sharing a shower room with a walk-in enclosure. The open-plan living space includes a kitchen with electric oven, gas hob and dishwasher, meaning you can cook proper meals rather than rely on takeaways. French doors from both the living area and main bedroom open onto a private decked courtyard where the hot tub sits, separate from shared facilities elsewhere on the grounds. One dog stays free; travel cots and high chairs are available if you ask. Electricity, wi-fi, bed linen and towels are all provided. The nearest coastline and walking trails – including the Tennyson Trail and bridleways along disused railway lines – are within easy reach, and Colwell Bay, with its sandy beach and views across the Solent, is close enough for a half-day trip.
