Is Parlour Cottage Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families
The cottage garden offers safe outdoor space for children to play. Fields and woodland surround the barn so there's countryside to explore. Newport is close for family activities and the island's beaches are within 15 minutes. The two-bedroom layout works well for small families. However, there are no specific play equipment or games rooms at the property itself.
Groups Will Love...
The exposed wooden beams running across the cottage ceilings are original to the barn structure. These thick timbers supported the agricultural building for decades before conversion. They add authentic character to every room and remind you of the building's working past. The beams complement the stone walls perfectly. You're staying in a genuine piece of Isle of Wight agricultural heritage.
Pet Friendly
Parlour Cottage does not accept pets during your stay. The surrounding countryside includes working farmland where livestock may be grazing. The rural location means farm animals are nearby. Whilst the cottage has its own garden space, the policy remains no pets allowed. This helps protect both visiting animals and local farm stock in the area around the barn.
