Alastair Sawday's Special Escapes: Self-catering in the UK

Godshill Park Annexe

Godshill Park Annexe, Godshill, Isle of Wight, England

The Annexe adjoins the owners' grand country house, and is all on one floor. Step straight into an open-plan sitting room; a pine table sits in a huge bay window overlooking the stable block, and the light floods in. Fresh flowers, deep carpets and cream and beige striped sofas invite you to settle; a flat-screen TV, board games, books and magazines tempt you to stay. The galley kitchen is a gem, with its cream units, wooden worktops, pretty blue and white tiles and a dresser filled with china. The bedroom has a white wrought-iron king-sized bed, which can be separated to make twins, and a single; it's decorated in pale blue, with a pretty floral border and matching linen. The bathroom is modern and white, and has a deep cast-iron bath, a powerful shower above, and Egyptian cotton towels. Outside you have your own stone terrace and seating area secluded behind tall trees, and a small part of the shared lawns. Cheerful Nora makes you feel welcome with a locally-sourced breakfast hamper. The Isle of Wight's famous beaches are a 10-minute drive; there are footpaths and cycle paths from the door and the thatched village of Godshill - half a mile down the road - is as pretty as can be.
