4 star self catering holiday cottages, Blackwater Hollow, Rookley, Isle of Wight sleeps 2, 4

Barn Owl Cottage is a beautifully appointed 2 bedroom cottage, adjacent to Woodpecker Cottage, in the middle of the row of three.

It is decorated very similarly to Woodpecker and Swallow Cottages, with solid wood flooring downstairs, with a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor as well as upstairs. The cottage also has a full sized, wooden slatted double sofa bed, allowing the cottage to sleep up to 6 people. Barn Owl Cottage, however, is slightly larger than Woodpecker Cottage and is therefore ideal for those with children or dogs. The bedroom upstairs is larger, and is therefore better suited to those who need a travel cot set up upstairs.

All the cottages are south facing with large open-plan living room/kitchen, with French doors opening on to a decking area with garden furniture and barbeque, as well as a small enclosed garden.

There is direct access to the fields from the garden, perfect for those with dogs, and there is then access from Pidford Farm to a wealth of island walks and cycle paths.

Each cottage is equipped with television and digi-box, DVD player, radio and CD player, access to free Wi-Fi, dishwasher, washer/dryer, microwave etc.

Welcome pack on arrival: Each cottage has a welcome pack on arrival which includes tea, coffee, sugar, milk, bread, cake and wine as well as a local paper which should cover the island activities for the duration of your stay.

All linen and towels are provided and there is no charge for pets.
