Previous Visitors' Comments
The cottage was a lovely, clean and homely place to stay. The cottage had everything in it we needed, from books and games for children and all the family to enjoy. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone.

Everything was perfect! The owners could not have been more helpful - we knew they were there but they did not intrude at all. Lovely spot and we would certainly go back again.

The cottage was in a good central location. Lots of beautiful coastal scenery and beaches to visit nearby.

The cottage was very cosy and well equipped, helping us to settle in easily, and we really appreciated the cleanliness. The owners were very friendly and welcoming and there were many great little touches (such as games and books for children, a pint of milk in the fridge ready for us). The location of the cottage was excellent, being in a quiet rural area but with quick and easy access to Sandown & the rest of the island by car, and with a local shop. The IOW had ample to do and see.

A very friendly owner who was on hand if there was a problem but didn't disturb your holiday. A really superb cottage with a cute little gardens & patio area which our 1 year old daughter loved exploring. Easy to get to with farm land & wildlife close by, again which you can explore (big fish in a pond to feed each night!). Looking forward to returning!

The location of the cottage was lovely. The farm had horses and a wild life area with a large pond. The children particularly liked feeding the fish. They also liked the farm cats who visited frequently. The large dining table in the kitchen made meal times enjoyable. The kitchen was large and well stocked with everything we needed. It was the first time we had had a holiday on the Isle of Wight. It had everything we wanted to do, beaches, castles, coastal path walking, dinosaur muesums and a zoo. We had a great time.
