The Cote – A Secluded Farm Stay on the Isle of Wight
Tucked away within the peaceful grounds of Little Upton Farm, The Cote is a beautifully converted former milking parlour, offering a private and characterful countryside escape for up to four guests. Set on a 100-acre working farm, this charming two-bedroom retreat is ideal for couples, friends, or small families seeking rural tranquillity with the Isle of Wight’s beaches and towns just a short drive away.

The Space:
Inside The Cote
Step through the patio doors into a light-filled open-plan living space, where exposed oak beams and wooden floors create a warm, relaxed atmosphere. Large windows invite the outdoors in, making this a lovely space to unwind after a day exploring the island.
The farmhouse-style kitchen is well equipped for self-catering stays, with everything you need to prepare leisurely breakfasts or family meals, plus the convenience of a dishwasher and washing machine. A dining table seating six provides plenty of space for relaxed dining and shared moments together.

The Cote sleeps four guests across two comfortable and thoughtfully designed bedrooms, both accessed via a charming galleried landing:
King-size bedroom with en-suite shower room

The bedrooms are calm and inviting, designed for a restful night’s sleep after days spent enjoying the countryside and coast.
