Barwick Cottages

In the middle of the Isle of Wight, Barwick Cottages are on a sixteen-acre smallholding, containing sheep, horses, ducks, chickens, geese and other small animals, like rabbits and guinea pigs for the children to enjoy feeding.

The cottages are quietly situated 300 yards off the main road with fine rural views in an area of outstanding natural beauty. At the end of the short farm drive is the popular Chequers Inn, which welcomes children and serves food. The pub has a large beer garden with a children's play area.

All cottages have central heating with electricity provided, a colour television, fully equipped kitchen, an iron/ironing board, a hoover, shaving points, a radio, cooking utensils, duvets, pillows cots, highchairs and hair dryer. Each cottage has its own garden furniture, barbecue area, car parking and enclosed garden area. Well-behaved dogs are welcome.

Aside from any geological interest, the Isle of Wight has much to offer travellers who seek a very English style of relaxation. It has a little of everything: castles, nature walks, sandy beaches, seaside resorts, Victorian architecture, gardens, thatch-roofed cottages, fishing villages, sailboat regattas, angling, cycling, dinosaur fossils, shipwrecks, a steam railway, and events that range from a marathon to a Garlic Festival.
