Where
are we?
Atherfield
Green Farm Holiday Cottages are situated in the stunning south-west
of the Isle of Wight.
Owned
by Jenny and Alistair Davidson, there is a choice of four
cottages; Rose, Honeysuckle, Fuchsia and Lavender, all of
which are accessible for disabled guests.
The cottages
were converted ten years ago and are attractively sited around
a central, level courtyard. Rose, was the farm's granary;
Honeysuckle, the horse stable; and Lavender and Fuchsia, the
milking parlour and dairy. Views from the cottages are spectacular,
stretching across miles of unbroken farmland and countryside.
Surrounding
Atherfield Green are an intricate network of quiet lanes and
footpaths, and the nearby Downland offers fantastic views
across the Island. This makes our location excellent for walkers
and cyclists.

Local Amenities
and Attractions
The nearest
neighbouring village is Chale Green, approximately 2-miles
away, providing a newly-renovated village shop, post office,
delicatessen and café. A little further afield are
the well-equipped villages of Shorwell and Brighstone, both
of which are very picturesque with thatched cottages and ancient
churches. Both villages offer local pubs, post offices and
shops. Newport, the county town of the Island is approximately
fifteen minutes away by car. Because of our rural location,
we do recommend that you have your own form of transport as
we are not on a bus route.
With regard
to attractions to visit, we are approximately 2-miles from
Blackgang Chine theme park, great for families, and we are
ideally placed to access the stunning beaches and chines located
all along the south-west coast. The family-friendly Ventnor
Botanic Gardens are a fifteen minute drive, which incorporates
the fascinating undercliff.
The Island
is renowned among palaeontologists, and the Dinosaur Farm
is approximately 3-miles away. If you want the opportunity
to see fossilised dinosaur footprints and hunt for your own
fossils, nearby Compton beach is popular as its dramatic landslips
often unearth new finds. The west wight offers opportunities
for a wide variety of sports and pastimes such as fishing,
mountain biking, paragliding and various forms of surfing
and watersports.
