Sabrie
and Brian would like to welcome you to Sunnyside Cottage which is the
recently converted brick stables at Sunnyside Farm, completed in 2006,
to provide comfortable self catering accommodation for 4-8 guests in
a lovely rural setting.
Sunnyside is now an organic working farm with sheep situated between the lovely villages of Godshill and Whitwell, approximately 4 miles from the seaside town of Ventnor. All fields are down to grass, so there is no restriction to where you can go, we have a couple of ponds for fishing.
Sunnyside Cottage has been lovingly converted by Sabrie and Brian and comprises of a kitchen/lounge/dining room with a table to seat 10, easy chairs, sky tv and video/dvd. The modern kitchen is fully equipped with all mod cons, including a dishwasher and large upright fridge/freezer. French doors lead onto a walled patio area for outdoor dining where barbecue plus heater, complete with gas, are provided.
The four double bedrooms, 1 with French windows, provide ample space for extended families, or two families, to share the holiday. In addition there are two bathrooms, 1 with shower, bath and WC while the second has a shower and WC.
Bed
linen and towels, but not cot linen, are provided with beds made on arrival.
(Please bring your own beach towels). With most of the rooms on the ground
floor Sunnyside Cottage is suitable for the less mobile and children are
welcome, with a cot and highchair provided. Unfortunately due to sheep
we are unable to take dogs.
Sunnyside Cottage is available for weekly bookings throughout the year from 3pm on Saturday. Out of season deals available - 2 or 4 bedroom unit. The cottage is strictly no smoking.
Board games and videos are available. Sunnyside Cottage has Sky TV.
There are footpaths/bridle roads, leading directly from the farm onto Stenbury Down for the magnificent views. There are several excellent pubs within a mile radius all cater for children, there is even an Indian eat in/takeaway restaurant who deliver near by.
GODSHILL
- is a lovely quaint village with plenty to do and see for the whole family,
with its charming thatched-roofed cottages, delightful medieval church
and a winding main street lined with tearooms, Godshill is the quintessential
English Village. Godshill's name derives from the 15th Century church
set upon a hill overlooking the village and with its unusual churchyard
monuments, it is among the top 10 most visited churches in the UK.
The village itself is host to many attractions including the Model Village, which depicts the entire area in miniature and The Old Smithy, a former blacksmiths forge, which is now a gift shop and fashion boutique. There are also numerous shops offering local crafts and produce, such as ciders, pickles, mustards and biscuits and welcoming tearooms, serving home made cakes along with traditional pubs, suitable for all the family with beamed ceilings and cosy fireplaces. All of which contributes to its old-world charm.
NITON - has a pub, grocery store, post office, chemist and butchers selling local meats. There are several small hideaway cove’s between Ventnor and Niton for you to explore, providing superb swimming and the opportunity to buy fresh crab and lobster from the boat.
VENTNOR
- A Victorian town with a Mediterranean feel, Ventnor is one of the sunniest
spots on the Island, thanks to its sheltered southerly aspect. Ventnor
beach provides superb swimming and the opportunity to buy fresh crab and
lobster. Stroll along the sea wall to Bonchurch, the Island's best preserved
Victorian village, with pretty cottages, village pond and the tiny 11th
Century Old Church of St Boniface. Bonchurch has a sheltered mainly pebbly
beach, with adjacent cafés and studio pottery.
Westwards from the Esplanade, the coastal path leads to Ventnor Park, with its delightful gardens and putting green. Here a path leads up to the 22 acre Botanic Gardens, a sub-tropical paradise with Mediterranean terrace, a Temperate House and Visitor Centre with passenger lift to the gardens.
BLACKGANG CHINE - an adventure playground is a day out for all the family to enjoy, the kids will love it, take yourself back to the wild west and even further to the dinosaur days and much much more.

We hope to be back again in 2008."

"Thank you for all the 'little extras', very welcoming and a great start to our holiday. Lovely, spacious cottage and you really have thought of everything! We've had a great week here and despite the weather not being fantastic we have found plenty to do. Enjoyed stunning views. Nice family meals enjoyed at the Mill Bay Inn, Ventnor, the White Horse, Whitwell and afternoon tea in Godshill."
