“Very comfortable and very clean cottage.”

Wet room particularly appreciated and very comfy mattress. Only negative was kitchen which, although well equipped, was small with very few working surfaces. We had an enjoyable stay there however and appreciated the helpfulness of Grace and Scott, the owners. We would gladly return.

“A newly decorated apartment and cleaned to the highest standards over and above those expected per Covid 19 requirements.”

A few minutes from the sea, shops and several eating places. A very quiet location. A most comfortable bed. A man who wet shaves will need a small mirror to prop up on the narrow window shelf above the sink, as bathroom is a wet room and thus not suitable for a wall mirror. Garden is lovely containing a wide range of exotic plants, and privacy is guaranteed. Strongly recommended and owners very friendly without being intrusive.

“Lovely welcome from owners who made us feel completely at home.”

Sunrise cottage was spotlessly clean- immaculately finished - we were extremely impressed and also reassured (because of Covid 19) Recommendations for places to go were great and we had a fabulous week. We will definitely return.

Mr Goodliff August 2020

“The lovely hosts, and the location for us was perfect a few minutes walk to the beach so able to leave the car and walk.”

The cottage had great facilities and comfortable bed what more could you want

Mr Virgo October 2019

“My wife and I were celebrating our 44th wedding anniversary over this weekend and booked this visit to the Isle of Wight at the last minute.”

The cottage was very clean and had all the amenities you would expect. Scott & Dawn were very helpful and friendly, The welcome pack was wonderful and totally unexpected. We would stay there again.

“Lovely location.”

the accommodation was good as it had a wet room which is essential for me as I am in a wheelchair.

- Mrs Parker, October 2019
Mr Hall September 2019

“We spent a very comfortable week at Sunrise, which was spotless and had a large welcome pack of goodies.”

Dawn and Scott were obliging but unobtrusive, even carrying our luggage! Overall the cottage is spacious and well equipped and when it was chilly the heating was lovely. All in all, a good base for exploring the island.

- Mr Hall, September 2019
Mr Hetherington September 2019

“A lovely welcome pack awaiting us.”

Owners Dawn and Scott were very helpful and friendly without being intrusive. Beautiful cottage with all amenities and a very comfy bed. A perfect base for us in order to explore the island.

Mrs Anderson August 2019

“This is a lovely property in a lovely area.”

The owners were very friendly and had left a surprising amount of "goodies" to welcome us including a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge. Everything was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. Nice seating areas in the garden to catch the sun and watch the butterflies. It also has a barbecue and pizza oven available to guests. It has off road parking which is always a plus. The only slight drawbacks (for me) were the fridge/freezer it is very tiny and the fridge compartment is very low down (I don't bend so well as I used to) so don't expect to be able to stock a lot of chilled/frozen food. The available kitchen work surface area is also a bit limited for prepping food. I like to cook so these things are just a personal irritation and in no way reflects on the property itself. They are just making the best of use of the available space. The couch would not be my choice as it is rather firm, not the kind you curl up on, but it has a roll out bed under one part and a storage area in another so I can understand why it was chosen. These are just my personal preferences though and I am sure others would not even notice these things. The area is fabulous for walkers or just for chilling at the beach, where there was a small café at one end and a very good restaurant at the other. Although the beach is shingle there is sand further out which is exposed at low tide and it was safe to swim, which we did often. If you are a hiker there are lots of different walks in the area. One we particularly enjoyed took us to the Needles and then the Tennyson monument and then to Freshwater where we had a nice cuppa and a cake and back to Totland in around 7 miles or so. I would highly recommend this property and would certainly consider booking again.

Mrs Bates July 2019

“Sunrise is in a great location to see the west of the Isle of wight walking and also to explore other areas as there are good bus links close by.”

Totland bay was a 5 minute walk away and had a beautiful view and great place to eat and drink after a day out. Dawn and Paul (the owners) were very friendly and welcoming; they supplied a lovely welcoming pack full of goodies and were very obliging to our needs during our stay. We really enjoyed our week away.

- Mrs Bates, July 2019
Mr Wiginton June 2019

“We've just spent a relaxing week in this lovely location on the Isle of Wight.”

Our cottage, with its two outside patios, was spotless, extremely comfortable and well appointed throughout. We received a warm welcome from the owners, who were always very helpful during our stay, and a generous welcome pack, too, as well as a good supply of towels and even dressing gowns.

- Mr Wiginton, June 2019
Prof Boylan May 2019

“A very warm and helpful welcome from Dawn and Scott, which set us on the right track for a most enjoyable week very close to the sea at the western end of the Isle of Wight.”

Sunrise is a very attractive,and for us most important, disabled friendly, property, with an attractive sitting room, large bedroom with an excellent double bed of the right height for people with mobility problem, and a very large and well equipped wet room bathroom. We look forward to staying again - well worth the island's (unreasonably) high car ferry charges.

Mr Kempton April 2019

“Graded "met expectations" only because we were confident of what we would find having already stayed at Sunrise last autumn.”

Everything was excellent, same as before, so couldn't be exceeded. Totland and the local area continue to provide the opportunity to enjoy peaceful relaxation with none of the razzamatazz of some of the other parts of the island. For anyone who enjoys the natural beauty of coastal country this is ideal. The accommodation/location of Sunrise complements the "peaceful" aspect and the warm, helpful but unobtrusive welcome and continuing consideration of Dawn & Scott all helps towards making for a great break away from our busy lives.

- Mr Kempton, April 2019
Ms Thompson March 2019

“Inside is lovely and comfortable, inside is suitable for a wheelchair user, everything is fairly low down, warm and comfortable.”

However the property is on a hill, so if your walkings not great then you might struggle with that.

- Ms Thompson, March 2019
Mr Kempton October 2018

“Sunrise (and Safari's other cottage, Sunset, which we were shown around) is beautiful.”

Everything about it is to the highest standard of ambience, convenience and comfort. Owners Dawn & Scott provided a warm welcome, a most generous and luxurious "starter" hamper and extensive cottage and Island information . The location is ideal for a quiet retreat, a few minutes walk to a lovely coastline with endless opportunities for walking and bus riding further around the island if wanted. The choice of Totland was determined by a wish to revisit childhood holiday memories of the 1950s but any future return will be to re-live happy memories of Sunrise and the wider area of West Wight. We highly recommend Sunrise and wish the owners well for the future

Mrs Wheeler September 2018

“We both enjoyed our holiday at the cottage.”

The setting was very peaceful and attractive with a well tended garden. The owners Dawn and Scott were helpful and unobtrusive. Accommodation was very clean and comfortable and better than expected with a good supply of towels etc., and a surprise package. Would have no hesitation in returning to this property.

Mr Wooldridge September 2018

“Dawn and Scott made us very welcome, left us lots of goodies to start our holiday with, even a bottle of Cava, and of course milk, tea and sugar, and many other yummies.”

Sunrise was beautifully presented, VERY CLEAN lovely decor ,very calming and restful, comfortable. Several sitting areas outside, with heater and pizza oven. We enjoyed IOW and saw many interesting places, Totland is a lovely part of the IOW, beach promenade five minutes away. The Needles and walks just a short distance away. Also Freshwater Bay,Yarmouth is quaint and interesting, lovely pier. Our favourite visits were The Garlic Farm, Osborne House, Carrisbrooke Castle, Steephill Cove Nr Ventnor, Botanic Gardens, Mottistone Gardens, all these enjoyed and after much walking we returned each afternoon to relaxing Sunrise , so warm and comfortable. Thank you Dawn and Scott.

“Just perfect”

Wonderful location which is walking distance to local pubs, restaurants and shops. Also on a bus route which services the many attractions on the isle of wight. The hosts Scott and Dawn are lovely. Really quiet location with everything you could want to make your stay very comfortable. Can't wait to return.

“Great escape”

Just had 10 days away on the Isle of Wight and stayed here in Totland. Totland is a hidden gem on its own, and the Sunrise Cottage was a super place to take enjoy that. We were perfectly placed to take advantage of the bay as well as walks to the Needles, Yarmouth and the Yar estuary. It’s a real home from home and Dawn and Scott made us very welcome. Looking forward to going back ...

“Totland weekend”

What a great place to stay,, very clean and well maintained property, walking distance to local shops and restaurants. Access to the nearby beach is within 5 minute walk. Fantastic Brilliant time.

“Marvellous”

A lovely gem of a find, ground floor apartment ideally suited to our needs. Being of limited ability the wheelchair access and large wet-room were a godsend, also the sofa-bed in the large lounge was a useful refuge for my wife to escape my ‘apparent’ noisy sleeping Nothing was too much trouble for the owners who went above and beyond – even accepting the delivery of my oxygen machine plus providing us with a magnificent seafood platter when we were unable to secure a booking at the local seafood restaurant!

Safari

Safari hosts two lovely ground floor apartments in the delightful Totland village, on the Isle of Wight's beautiful West coast. Nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering spectacular unspoilt scenery, these properties are ideal for groups of friends and couples. Sunrise and Sunset are two stunning chalet-style properties that ooze character and a quality finish. Presented with tropical plants all around, they exude a colonial, 'out-of-Africa' feel. The safari theme is carried through both properties in the pictures hanging on the walls and the beautiful private decked areas outside. Blending together old and new, you get a sense of the original building as you step through the rooms, with modern day fixtures and aesthetically pleasing furnishings proved easy on the eye. Sunrise provides good wheelchair access from the road and has a large wet room for those who have limited mobility. Sunset offers plenty of choice for sitting out with its large front outdoor area featuring a BBQ and access to the decked veranda via most of the rooms inside. Sit out on the secluded decking area to soak up the sun and enjoy a couple of glasses of wine through the afternoon. Continue drinks into the evening and head down to The Waterfront pub where you won't be disappointed by the food, service and stunning scenery. Take a trip to Colwell Bay and sample 'The Hut', a popular seafood restaurant providing delicious Mediterranean food and a must visit while you're in town. The spectacular beaches of both Totland and Colwell Bay offer a range of activities, whilst a pretty footpath will take you to Freshwater in ten minutes where you will find its golf course and an excellent starting point for walks along the Tennyson Trail. These are two wonderful cottages in a relaxing, tropical setting providing a haven for bird watchers, cyclists and walkers and offering the ideal base for exploring what the Isle of Wight has to offer.
