  • "Sandy Cottage is very well equipped, immaculately clean and comfortable."

    The generous welcome pack was very much appreciated. The location is very convenient for exploring most of the island, particularly if using the local buses to visit Shanklin, Ventnor, Newport and Ryde. We found the Southern Vectis bus app was very helpful to plan around local road closures and diversions. We really enjoyed our stay at Sandy Cottage.

  • "Sandy cottage is a real home from home."

    Very welcoming for us and our dog. Ideal position quiet but within walking distance of Sandown esplanade. Spotlessly clean and everything we needed was there. Welcome pack for us and our dog with some local produce much appreciated. Visited in December but would love to return in the summer to take full advantage of lovely walks.

  • "An absolutely stunning cottage, beautifully furnished to an extremely high standard, we could not fault it at all and it was spotlessly clean."

    Provisions at the cottage went over and above what was expected, including a coffee machine and cafetière, a beach bag and four beach towels and a bucket and spade. Also a huge crate of items was available for dog owners. On arrival, we were greeted with fresh flowers and a welcome pack that included fresh bread, cheese and milk - all local produce. We would not hesitate in recommending this fabulous property and hope to stay again in the future.

    Thank you, a pleasure to have you as our guests. Property Owner

    Tastefully decorated, clean and with everything you could need provided. Would book again if coming back to the IOW.

  • "We had a lovely mid week stay on the Isle of Wight with our two children and puppy - the cottage was absolutely spotless and beautifully decorated, with plenty of space for us."

    The host was attentive and kind and we loved the little touches around the house. It’s very light and airy and will be gorgeous in the summer months. The cottage is a short walk to the beach and easy to find, but in a residential area so very quiet at night. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Sandy Cottage again if we return to the IOW.

  • "We had a lovely break."

    The house was very clean and well thought out. Our two dogs were very happy and we encountered no problems. There was plenty living space and good kitchen facilities. Two double beds were very comfortable with good storage in bedrooms. Easy location to access the island. Could walk to the beach took approx. 15 mins.
