Poachers Hut - Captivating 1-bed Cottage Shorwell

2 guests · 1 bedroom · 2 beds · 1 bathroom

One of three beautifully and stylishly converted barn cottages set in an idyllic rural location, surrounded by open countryside, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, ideal for walkers and cyclists. Each cottage is tastefully furnished and well equipped for two people plus 1 SMALL dog only. Contact me for discounted ferries. The Bike Shed & Surf Shack are both doubles and the Poacher's Hut is a twin. The New England style, including 'washed' wood grain flooring, contemporary shades from Farrow & Ball and complementing fixtures and fittings deliver a relaxed, chilled feel matching the tranquility of the unspoiled rural surroundings and far reaching, panoramic views. With the front of the cabins facing East, the morning sun pours in and with each cabin having its own patio, it is the perfect place to enjoy breakfast and morning coffee whilst taking in the glorious scenery. In the winter months, or to take off any summer evening chill, each cabin has a wood burning stove creating a cosy atmosphere at any time of the year. An extra basket of logs or fresh eggs can be purchased from the farm house. As a self-catering cottage, you'll find everything you need for a perfect stay. The kitchen has a fridge, a hob, an oven, a kettle, a freezer and a microwave. The cottage is a perfect place to relax and offers a television and internet access. There is one bedroom in this cottage which contains twin beds. There is one bathroom, which has a toilet and sink and a full bath and shower. One SMALL dog only is welcome but restricted to the ground floor and please note there is a daily fee of 10 GBP. Linen and towels are all included to make your stay more enjoyable. There is a secure bicycle storage shed if required. House Rules: - Check-in time is 2pm and check-out is 10am. - Smoking and BBQ's are not allowed. - There are on-site parking facilities available at the property. We can book your ferry crossing from Portsmouth starting at £89.10 return!

beautiful location but lacks privacy from other guests.

The view from the property was outstanding!

Proximity of other guests was too close. Very little privacy. Large hidden costs to have dogs at the property were not advertised properly before stay.

Nice quiet location

Location was good and quiet, especially watching the hens antics opposite.

Lack of worktops. Many repeated messages from agent in India some of which were proved to be incorrect. I.E. the owner thought we had cancelled the booking - we had not!!

can’t wait to go back

We loved the cozy and extremely clean feel of the cottage. All cooking facilities were available and really good insulation so it felt very warm. The chickens outside the front door and noises from the sheep aud horses in the field beside you gave a true country / farm experience. The hosts were lovely and very helpful if needed. Perfect stay and a short distance from lovely beaches (Ventnor) and gorgeous scenery of the Isle of Wight.

Peaceful break

The location is great as your in the countryside but 20 minutes and your in town, setting was stunning, lovely walks where you don’t meet anybody, excellent for dog walking,accommodation was lovely and snug and everything was provided when we got there. lovely and quiet stay just to unwind and relax, peaceful watching the chickens shuffling around while sitting outside our accommodation. Beds were comfy, bathroom was amazing and the house warmed up really quickly if we needed it, looking forward to a return visit.

Nothing, everything was spot on, very impressed.

Idyllic Location

The holiday cottage was very well equipped and had lovely little extras, such as eggs, scones with jam and cream, and wine. The bed was extremely comfortable and the whole place was lovely and warm. The views are spectacular from around the cottage and the hens at the front are a great little bonus! Shirley (host) was extremely welcoming and was available to offer help if needed.

Stunning cottages

Everything else! Amazing cottages, with stunning views, comfortable and Shirley was lovely! Very friendly and helpful. We bought our doggo with us and he was welcomed everywhere we went. There was more than enough room for the dog and us. Everything was perfect! The eggs and bottle of red wine was a lovely surprise. Will definitely recommend and would love to return!

The only thing that I wasn't too keen on, was that I had to drive everywhere.

This is a fabulous place to stay in beautiful surroundings. Most guests seem to comment in the visitors book on the chickens which are ranging free, in a paddock, in front of the cottages - they have real character. Fresh eggs are available to buy from Shirley. The accommodation is pretty perfect, very nicely appointed, clean, fresh and has everything you need for a trip away. Lovely to sit outside on the sun baked terrace and enjoy the views.

Excellent stay, would recommend and hope to stay again.

The host was excellent very welcoming. The location was quiet and close to walks and easy to get around. It was great to be able to feed the chickens.

The only reason it was not exceptional was lack of laundry facilities but I am sure that would have been sorted if I had asked which I didn't.
