Cottage in Isle of Wight

About this property

Welcome to this true hidden gem nestled amidst the beauty of three nature reserves. Once part of Lord Alverstone's Estate in the 1900s, this 25 acre haven in Adgestone is a serene sanctuary near Sandown's sandy beaches. Embracing threatened wildlife through the Higher Stewardship Scheme, it's a paradise for birdwatchers, with the chance to spot kingfishers, herons, woodpeckers and soaring buzzards. Nature walks, butterfly sightings and red squirrel hides await avid explorers, while nearby attractions like Brading Roman Villa (2 miles) and Adgestone Vineyard (1 mile) add a touch of historical charm. For leisurely pursuits, guests can access footpaths and cycle routes and even enjoy a round at the inviting Sandown Shanklin Golf Course. And for those with a fascination for prehistory, The Dinosaur Isle Museum (2.5 miles) promises to captivate visitors with its fascinating exhibits. As you arrive, take three steps and you are greeted by a delightful wooden decking that sets the tone for a peaceful and relaxing stay. The breathtaking scenery of rolling hills stretches as far as the eye can see, offering a picturesque panorama that will leave you in awe.
