Rossiter’s Vineyard Barn - Rondo

The western side of the Isle of Wight holds quiet villages and sailing towns within easy reach. Rossiter's Vineyard Barn – Rondo sits in Wellow, three miles from Yarmouth's harbour, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A five-minute drive (or fifteen-minute cycle) gets you to the water; Cowes is twenty minutes further. Walking trails crisscross the area, from level tracks along old railway lines to the longer Tennyson Trail and the ambitious 66-mile Round the Island Route.

This single-storey property sleeps four across two bedrooms: a king and two singles. The ground floor has an open-plan living space with wood floors and exposed beams, a kitchen with electric oven, gas hob and dishwasher, and a shower room. French doors from both the living area and main bedroom lead to a private decked courtyard, where a hot tub overlooks the surroundings. A second decked space and a picnic area (with shared gas barbecue) are also available. Essentials like electricity, bed linen, towels and wi-fi are included. The property is dog-friendly, with a welcome pack and dog extras provided. No smoking.

Colwell Bay, nearby, has calm, sheltered water and sandy beaches. The enclosed courtyard means families with children or those bringing a pet have a secure space to use, and the ground-floor design suits those with mobility requirements.
