Charming thatched barn, Isle of Wight, southern England

The Isle of Wight is a lovely holiday destination in the south of England to stay in a characterful thatched barn. The island is a very short ferry ride across the Solent to a little piece of old England that oozes charm and a multitude of thatched cottages. There are even villages such as Godshill with a large percentage of thatched cottages, thatched pubs and shops.

One good reason for visiting the Isle of Wight, apart from beaches all around the island and the beautiful gently hilly countryside is the English country garden. A walk around any village will reveal a high percentage of quite lovely well tended gardens, all free to look at from the pavement. Visit in late spring to enjoy the masses of wisteria that adorn cottage walls, clematis and blossom. Late spring breaks on the Isle of Wight are recommended for older people who enjoy walking and sightseeing. There are good days for sitting on beaches and soaking up sunshine and yet it is outside the busy summer season when the roads are quiet and the island is fairly peaceful

There are coastal walks above the cliffs in the west if the island, the amazing chalk headland of the Needles to visit and photographs, boat rides, steam train rides and more. It really is a quite lovely part of England. Pet friendly thatched cottages are also available if you would like to take your dog on holiday with you.
