Manor Bottom is a 200-year-old stone barn, which nestles beneath St Boniface Down in six acres of fields and paddocks, in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty adjoining National Trust land. Manor Bottom sleeps 8 in three double bedrooms and one twin bedded room. There are two toilets in a bathroom and a shower room. A cot and high chair are available.
Manor Bottom is ideally situated for walking or mountain biking. The Isle of Wight's extensive network of footpaths starts right outside the back door.
For rainy days there are plenty of games, toys, books, story tapes and videos. Dry logs and kindling are provided for the wood-burning stove in the sitting room. Local shop, pubs and post office are one mile away in the village of Wroxall. Ventnor and Bonchurch beaches are a 10-minute drive (or a one-hour walk over the downs if you are feeling energetic). Sorry, no dogs. Manor Bottom is a non-smoking property.
Alistair Sawday's Special Escapes says that Manor Bottom is, 'A remarkable and unusual place to stay... the peace is deep.' To read Alistair's full review please click here.
