2 Bedroom Cottage in Ventnor, Isle of Wight

The Byre, which forms part of Southdown Dairy, has an enviable position nestled into Southdown, Chale, enjoying uninterrupted sea views to the Needles and Tennyson Down.
The two bedroom cottage has been loving restored with your comfort in mind for you to have a relaxing stay whilst enjoying the stunning peaceful, rural location in an AONB which forms the Heritage coast in South Wight, also known as Back of the Wight.
The Byre is accessed directly from the lane, up a flight of eleven steps onto the private terrace, and then down four steps to your front door which leads you into the lobby. To the right is the kitchen and on the left is the downstairs bedroom with a superking bed (or two twins) and an ensuite shower room. A double bedroom with a kingsize bed shares the first floor with a family bathroom with bath and shower. The spacious kitchen is fully equipped and has a large table so dining together is comfortable and relaxing. The lounge is also spacious with a Smart 49” freesat LG television, comfy seating and soft lighting makes for a cosy night in. From the first floor bedroom, lounge, kitchen and terrace you will enjoy uninterrupted views (there are a few ponies) towards Tennyson Down and its white cliffs, the Needles and the coast from Whale Chine along to Compton and Freshwater Bay. The private terrace catches the morning sun for breakfast and is perfect to have dinner and watch the amazing sunsets over The Needles. There is offroad parking for 2 cars and plenty of secure storage for bikes. The cottage has been finished to a very high standard, including fast Wi-Fi internet connection whilst in a comfortable cottage in a beautiful setting.
The coastal path and numerous country paths are right on the doorstep, along with the round the island cycle route which passes in front of the cottage. Blackgang Chine, the oldest theme park in Europe dating back to 1800, is a 5 minute drive away, The Wight Mouse pub is a 20 minute walk across the fields, has a huge garden overlooking the sea and serves food all day. With the famous Military Road at the end of the Lane it is a superb location to explore the whole Island and the numerous walking routes, cycle ways, attractions and beaches including those on the south of the Island; Compton Beach, which is a must for surfers, Brook Beach and Freshwater Bay and of course the rest of the Island; including Shanklin and Sandown only a 20 minute drive away and the same for, Alum Bay (The Needles), Colwell (home to The Hut) and Yarmouth, the furthest towns are Cowes and Ryde and they are only a 30 minute drive, nowhere is far on the Island. There are plenty of fabulous pubs, restaurants and cafe's either overlooking the sea, nestled in the countryside or in one of the many quaint villages which are home to thatched cottages and stone buildings.

Summary: The Byre is a lovely rural, comfortable cottage, with all home comforts. It was our second stay and again we loved it. It’s a lovely place to relax and unwind.

Fresh ground coffee & cafetière as well as pod machine. Lovely linen. The weather was mixed but the Byre always warm and welcoming on our return. Thank you

Summary: Perfect for holiday makers who seek: tranquility, style, fantastic views, top equipped kitchen, spacious bedrooms and supersized beds, cozy modern living area ... and an extremely friendly and generous host. We had very relaxing holidays and enjoyed every minute when coming home from our excursions and bike trips on the IOW. Great thanks to Rachel Heidrun and Robert
Fabian G. Aug 30, 2024 11:51:26 PM
Summary: This beautiful holiday place, artistically converted from a barn to cottage won't disappoint you. The 10/10 reviews here do not exaggerate either. This is a hidden away gem in the countryside of IOW facing the west coast. The serenity here is second to none yet at the same time it is not far from some of the greatest tourists hotspots. From the master bedroom you can enjoy seaviews. Sitting around the kitchen table you may watch the sunset. The place is beautifully decorated and very comfortable furnished. For added peace of mind there is even a small terrace where you can enjoy nature and the beautiful surroundings. The hostess thought of everything that makes a holiday stay pleasant. In the living room there are even board-games to play and plenty guides on how to explore the IOW. The Living room is tastefully decorated, The Beds are very comfortable, The kitchen is very well equipped and the bathrooms are spotless clean. What more can you ask for? a true home away from home. The hostess is welcoming nice and friendly Thank you for the wonderful hospitality! Fabian G and Kids

Summary: Second visit to the Byre. Just right for 2 couples. All you need is provided. Great view. Quiet but good base to explore. IOW, swimming on East coast and other attractions not far. Recommended for a relaxed stay.
Jens K. Aug 17, 2024 10:44:04 PM
Summary: The Byre was the perfect place to relax and to explore the island. The house is very comfortable and clean. Rachel is a very nice host, who gave us a lot of good advices and helped wherever she could.
Ingrid G. Jul 8, 2024 06:02:22 AM
Summary: The Byre is a beautiful property. It was the perfect place for a rural, quiet stay. Rachel and Mark were lovely hosts. We felt at home as soon as we walked into the Byre. It is really well equipped and everything was spotlessly clean. The weather wasn’t the best but having somewhere lovely and comfortable to stay made up for it. We would definitely stay here again.
Diane D. Jun 30, 2024 08:03:23 PM
Summary: The property was beautiful, spotlessly clean, well maintained, with everything to make it home from home. Very well kitted out kitchen, large fluffy bath towels, super comfortable beds and bed linen, and a sweet little terrace which was a sun trap. Lovely views from several of the windows, and lots of privacy. Rachel was a great host, supplying us with lots of recommendations, and a fan for the bedroom when the mini heatwave made it uncomfortably warm. Quite possibly the best Vrbo (and other platform) self catering we’ve stayed in since embracing staycations in the last 15 years. Should we return to the IoW I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
Andrea P. Sep 11, 2023 07:42:16 AM
Summary: This is our second stay at The Byre after first visiting 2 years ago and we were not disappointed. The property is very well looked after by the host, is in excellent condition and was spotless on our arrival. The Byre is located in a beautiful part of the island with stunning views from the coastal path. Rachel is very helpful, providing a list of things that were provided in advance of our stay and also updating us on a few events that were running while we were there. We were sad not to see any red squirrels this time - we'll be back!
