Sandy Cottage

We had such a lovely stay and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

Everything was incredibly clean, comfortable and welcoming, and Sandra had genuinely thought of everything. The beach towels were incredibly helpful, especially after our trips to the seaside, and the dog goodie bag and bed were such an amazing touch. We also loved the delicious hamper of treats — and even tried the cheese, which was absolutely yummy! The beds were so comfy, making it easy to relax after busy days exploring the island. During our stay we visited The Needles, Sandown Beach, Blackgang Chine, the Isle of Wight Pearl and Ventnor Botanic Gardens, so we had lots of lovely adventures. It was the perfect stay and we would definitely love to come back!

The property was lovely

A beautiful home away from home.

Perfect in every way. Super comfy bed, we had the best nights sleep. Close to all amenities and some lovely walks. Would definitely recommend!

A fantastic cottage, lovely and clean, well presented and very handy for seeing the sights.

We found it easily and parking was brilliant just outside the door. It felt calm and in a nice quiet area of Sandown. Handy for buses, walking and nature.

The property was beautiful.

The host was also very accommodating and made us feel welcome. Everything you needed for your stay was available. The four legged friends were also catered for and made to feel very welcome.

A handy location to get around the island with the benefit of on-drive parking and a contained back garden for the dog.

The owners left very helpful guidebooks as well as a fabulous welcome pack of goodies.

Sandy Cottage is a wonderful place to stay.

It is immaculate, has been decorated, furnished beautifully and very comfortable. The welcome pack was ful of wonderful items produced in the Isle of Wight. There was plenty of information to help us chose what we would visit daily. I would recommend a stay in Sandy Cottage highly.

Absolute gem of a property.

The house was immaculate, and felt like a home from home immediately. There were fresh flowers, a lovely gift basket, and local milk and cheese in the fridge which was hugely appreciated after a long drive. The house has absolutely everything you could want, there was even an ice cube tray in the freezer with ice waiting for us. Everything was very clear and the property was easy to get to and access, very well communicated. I can't find a single fault, and we will most certainly be back. We had a wonderful stay, the beds and sofas were very comfortable, and we felt so welcome. Thanks so much Sandra :)

Immaculately clean and tidy.

Super welcome pack for humans and dogs. Small but secure garden for the dog. Very comfortable.

We have stayed in a number or cottages around Britain and I can honestly say this is the best.

Everything from the wonderful welcome pack for both ourselves and our cockerpoo Cassie to the excellent comfy beds. Would definitely return and recommend other people to book it if you want a wonderful place to stay. There are just a couple of things I would have liked but is my own personal choice that is a larger frying pan and a potato masher.once again I would like to thank Sandra for providing a beautiful property which made out stay.

We had a wonderful week in this property.

It was super clean, comfortable & well equipped. The welcome hamper was very thoughtful & including a hamper for our 'fur babies' was the icing on top of the cake. We hope to visit again.

We Had a very comfortable stay in this very clean well maintained home.

Everything we needed was there from a great shower to comfortable beds and plenty of comfortable seating areas and plenty of utensils etc for use. We were greeted with two lovely hampers one for us and one for our dog Teddy. It’s a place we would surely book with again and is in a good location on the island.

Perfect little holiday house Lovely little holiday home, which had everything you could possibly want, or ever need & was comfortable, cosy and spotlessly clean.

We even had a lovely welcome basket left in the kitchen, which was really very thoughtful & also included a few ‘handmade’ treats for our dog. It was the perfect location to get around the island with a short walk to Sandown seafront. This is one place we would definitely recommend to others without a moment’s hesitation. We hope to be able to come back one day. Thanks for a delightful stay.

Great holiday home from home, everything we needed, very comfortable and very clean.

Definitely stay again.

Home from home property.

Spotlessly clean. Ideal location for exploring the island. Very close to a lovely Sandy beach.

A fabulous holiday cottage, modern with very high standards throughout.

large and spacious living kitchen and dining area. Everything you could need has been provided and more .lovely little welcolme pack of local goods .Great beds and luxury bedding and a fab shower. Great enclosed garden for the dog and a shed full of doggie equiptment and sun chairs Would recommend it in a heartbeat.

Sandy cottage was in a perfect location for exploring the island and only a 15 minute walk to the beach.

It was immaculate and had everything we needed. There were chairs to sit in the garden which always had the sun, and a good size shed for storage if needed. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and there was plenty of storage for clothes. The shower was nice and powerful and large thick towels were provided. The welcome pack and fresh flowers were appreciated by us and the owner was available if needed. We would highly recommend a stay here.

My husband, our seven year old daughter and I had a lovely stay in Sandy Cottage.

The location was great for us as we were travelling by public transport and there's a bus stop nearby, but equally it was quiet and we enjoyed a walk on the nearby marshland. The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable, especially the beds. The welcome letter and gifts were much appreciated and the local products were a lovely touch. The kitchen was well equipped and everything was easy to use as well as there being instructions available if we got stuck! We appreciated the washing machine and stand and washing line in the garden too - I always like it if I don't have to take all the washing home!! We had a great stay and would certainly come again - thank you!

Great welcome pack and communication from Sandra the host.

Everything had been thought of, really clean and comfortable. Quiet estate with those we did speak to very friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A beautiful, immaculate home where we enjoyed a comfortable stay.

It had everything we needed for a relaxing break. We would definitely recommend Sandy Cottage if you’re planning an Isle of Wight holiday.

Sandy cottage is a fabulous little place to stay.

It is very well equipped and in a good quiet location. Beds were comfy and has a lovely shower. Lovely welcome pack for both humans and dogs! We felt very at home in the cottage as soon as we arrived. Great little enclosed garden. Would definitely stay there again and 100% recommend to anyone.

A lovely place to stay!

Really well equipped with high spec washing machine and hob, plus masses of crockery and cooking utensils. In a quiet road with off street parking and easy access to all parts of the island; the book of suggested walks came in handy for planning days out with our dog. The welcome basket showcasing local producers of cheese, milk, bread etc was a lovely touch as was the personally addressed welcome note from Sandra.

Wonderful property, we had a great time here.

The cottage had everything we needed and more! Thank you

We loved absolutely everything about this house.

It looks brand new, it is impeccably clean, it has all the comfort you can wish for (also for the dogs!) and it is conveniently located. The welcome package that was waiting for us, made us feel very welcome. We only need one word to describe the Sandy Cottage: SUPERB!!!

Pristine clean, everything you could want or need , Welcome pack Excellent and very thoughtful.

Access problems caused by roadworks (outside owners control).

Facilities quite adequate , though not to our personal tastet. Holiday marred by car breaking down on way home. Owner kindly phoned re items left behind,and I am afraid I was quite brusqe as it was just as the car had broken down! She deserved a better response.

We absolutely loved the cottage, it’s in a fabulous position being a short walk into Sandown.

The Cottage had everything we needed and was clean and very comfortable with its own parking. We would definitely book to stay there again.

lovely clean property

We had such a lovely week at Sandy Cottage.

It was absolutely immaculate and really comfortable. We had a lovely welcome pack and the welcome pack for our dog was such a nice touch. The kitchen had everything and more you could need to cook and the beds were really comfortable. The cottage is in a great location for going off to explore different parts of the island. Some of our favourites are Sandown beach, Bembridge and Brading and Culver Down.

Sandra has thought of everything needed for a lovely stay at Sandy Cottage.

We really appreciated the stair gate for our 18 month old and there were some thoughtful touches, such as the toddler-friendly tableware and some infant books - which my daughter loved! The welcome basket for us was a kind touch too. The cottage is spotlessly clean, bright and airy and is a perfect place to come back to after exploring the Isle of Wight for the day. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

This was our first visit to the Isle of Wight.

We were so pleased with the location of the cottage. It was easily accessible to the whole island yet a nice quiet backwater to return to. The place was spotless, tastefully decorated with quality furnishings which were a pleasure to use. I liked the larger fridge in the kitchen with a freezer. The textile stair gate at the bottom of the stairs was a useful tool for keeping Archie (the dog) downstairs. Back garden was totally enclosed which gave me peace of mind when he was out on his own. Thank you for the goodies which we all enjoyed. A brilliant holiday with lots of happy memories.

Great location.

Excellent accommodation, warm welcome pack for us and our dog.

Not having been to IoW before, we needed a cosy place to act as a base to explore and then come back and be comfortable.

We found it at Sandy Cottage. It is very cosy and perfectly relaxing with everything you need, so well equipped. It is very homely and after a while it is easy to think one might be literally at home. Unfortunately we had to leave, hey ho. Never had such a welcome set of treats both for us and the dog - especially the dog. Thanks to Sandra, lovely to meet you and thanks for sharing your lovely house with us. We had a very lovely two weeks and love the island very much. Needless to say, we will be back.

Excellent property in a good location.

Everything you need and so clean and very welcoming. This owner goes above and beyond providing all the essentials - tea bags, coffee, dishwasher tablets etc. even a bottle of red - we brought it all with us, but didn't even need to unpack it. Also a lovely hamper for our rescue greyhound with packets of dog treats which was really thoughtful. Thank you for a great property - which we will recommend to others.

Sandy cottage is one of the cleanest properties I've stay in.

Very comfortable beds with good quality bedding. Its in a cul-de-sac, which I was a little apprehensive about. But area is very good and quiet ,no issues at all. Lovely welcome pack too.

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.

Absolutely perfect!

It looks as wonderful as it does in the pictures! All very modern appliances and so clean! Great communication and a lovely welcome! Very comfy beds as well! Lovely cosy home to come back to after days out. Thanks so much x

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 amazing place with all the comforts needed!

Perfect for my trip to join the Isle of Wight Walking festival.

Perfect

Great location to explore the Island.

Property was ckean, fresh and very comfortable. Welcome basket was much appreciated and neighbours are friendly.

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.

We had such a brilliant holiday.

We would recommend this holiday stay you have everything you need and it is not far from amenities and travelling from place to place is easy by car bus or train

What a fantastic holiday rental.

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.
