Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 6 - Cranmore, Isle of Wight

This gorgeous, single-storey holiday home is peacefully located at the end of a private road, just outside of the picturesque seaside town of Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight. The property sits right next to the island’s gorgeous coastal path, meaning guests are never far from a splendid morning or afternoon of rewarding cliff-top walks. Just a mile away through the countryside is a welcoming, dog-friendly pub, which you can incorporate into your afternoon walk together.

The nearby harbour town of Yarmouth (3 miles) offers an array of shops, traditional pubs, and cafes, as well as charming architecture to discover. Visit the local markets and treat yourself to artisanal goods, fresh produce, and unique souvenirs to take home. Follow the banks of Yarmouth’s estuary and choose from a range of walking trails that showcase the region’s wildlife and best picnic spots.

For a more adventurous experience, take a boat trip from Yarmouth Harbour to explore the nearby Needles, a series of iconic chalk cliffs rising dramatically from the sea. Travelling a little further afield, Tapnell Farm (4.5 miles) and Black Gang Chine (14.5 miles) are not to be missed for a family adventure. Before stepping into this welcoming, single-storey holiday home, take a moment to appreciate the peaceful gardens and plants that surround the property and set the scene for a tranquil getaway.

On entering, you’ll see that the home’s recent renovation has left it with airy living spaces and chic furnishings that combine well with the crisp, white decor. Hang coats and kick sandy shoes off in the entrance hall and walk through to the stylish and airy living room. Unwind on the choice of sofas in here, light the impressive wood burner, and flick on the Smart TV for a cosy evening in together.

When stomachs start to rumble, head through to the well-appointed kitchen/diner – the social heart of the home. Find all you need in here to whip up holiday feasts for the group, all while soaking in the peaceful garden views through the window. Dine together in this room, or on sunny days head outside and dine alfresco on the patio which is surrounded by greenery.

When it’s time to rest your head, choose from three sumptuous bedrooms across this single-storey property; a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, a vibrant bunk bedroom that little ones will love, and a beautifully decorated king-size bedroom. Serving the bedrooms and completing the interior is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. Outside, the property boasts a large, beautifully landscaped garden where little ones and dogs can play safely surrounded by greenery.

When it’s time for an al fresco bite to eat or evening tipple, gather at the patio with its outdoor furniture and BBQ, offering the perfect spot to relax together deep into summer evenings.
