A fantastic, roomy property in a beautiful rural setting. Sally was really helpful at check-in as the postcode doesn't quite match the location and tricky to locate in the dark! The property is furnished very tastefully and equipped to a high standard too. TV, bed and shower all very good. A few handy welcome gifts too including, tea, coffee, biscuits and washing up things - thanks! Would definitely recommend.

Lovely comfortable family friendly accommodation

This is a lovely house, spacious and comfortable. Open plan downstairs which works really well for families, stair gates and travel cot for little ones, and space to run around outside. It's in a really nice quiet area which is well placed to access the rest of the island. Very close to Freshwater Bay. My girls loved Skye, one of the resident dogs who came to visit! Sally, the property manager is super helpful. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Lovely cottage

What a lovely cottage, the pictures don’t do it justice, in the middle of the country side but close enough to everything you could need. It is managed by Sally who welcomes her guests with genuine friendliness. Her dogs pop in and out which just adds to the home from home feel. I would definitely return here.

Ideal location

Great location for covering the island particularly West Wight that we live. Property was great - had everything you could need. Only negative was the metal framed single beds,creaked a lot and the mattresses were uncomfortable. Doesn’t detract from a great break though.

Lovely stay in a fabulous location and comfortable, spacious cottage

We returned to the cottage after our first stay last year because it was so lovely and comfortable. This time we also used the cottage next door for our grandchildren, who absolutely loved it. The cottage itself is in a great rural location but nevertheless only 10 mins drive from a supermarket and Freshwater Bay if you need a takeaway or food. It's also just a quarter of a mile from a bus-stop to Newport in one direction and Yarmouth in the other (if you don't have a car) so therefore ideal either as a personal retreat or alternatively, a central location to travel to other Isle of Wight attractions. We had a wonderful stay and once again as per last year, were greeted by a wonderful host - thank you! I look forward to staying at the cottage again next year.

Stable Cottage Easter break

The property was clean, spacious and comfortable. There were two lovely bathrooms attached the the bedrooms and an enormous kitchen with all the utensils you could wish for.The location was peaceful with a field in which to walk the dog and a little football pitch for the younger members of the family to use when they visited us.The cottage is ideally located between the Yarmouth and 'Middle' roads meaning that you can reach birthstone Forest, Mottistone Down, Brook or Compton beach one way and the excellent Shalfleet stores, Newtown and Yarmouth the other. Near to Newport and Freshwater if you need a big shop.The best thing about the cottage was the friendliness of the owners and the fact that your dog could be off the lead in and around the cottage.Could not recommend it more!

Friendly and helpful owners, quiet and attractive location convenient for all island attractions.

Overall a nice cottage and location but some thought needed for outside table and chairs, would have been more pleasant away from parked cars and dustbins.
