“The Stables was clean, comfortable and better than we expected.”

It was ideally situated for many attractions.

It was ideally situated for many attractions. The owner was very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The Isle of Wight is a wonderful place to visit with many places to see and things to do.

“We only had a brief weekend visit to this wonderful place, and only wished we could have stayed longer.”

Everything from start to finish whilst staying at 1 The Stables was just perfect. We were met by friendly and helpful host Helen on arrival and she showed us around the chalet and gave us advice on getting from A to B. The chalet itself had all the facilities you need with an abundance of crockery, and household utensils, pots, pans, picnic plates...you name it, they were there so nothing was needed. There was a lovely bottle of wine for us on arrival along with biscuits, milk, tea and coffee. The beds were comfortable and the whole place was immaculate. Can't wait to re-visit, and we will !

“One of the best properties and definitely the best owners we have stayed at for a long time”

- Mr Chapman, May 2019
“A very well equipped cottage, situated in a lovely rural location yet well located for travel to any part of the island.”

A welcoming host. Thanks Helen

- Mr Barker, April 2019
“This cottage was a 'home from home' it was lovely, Mr and Mrs Wilkes were very welcoming with Mr Wilks taking the time to explain best time to drive to shop and best route to take to avoid roadworks.”

We had no problems with appliances etc...

- Mrs Devereux, March 2019
“Was not disappointed with any part of the property or the host s.”

I would definitely stay at The Stables again and recommend to anyone I know who is looking to visit The Isle of Wight.

- Mr Carew, February 2019
“We felt rather bombarded by your emails so have now unsubscribed.”

Reluctant therefore to recommend Sykes as an organisation although your cottages are good, and we can recommend them! Where we stayed was lovely and the hosts were great.

- Mr Dixon, October 2018
“This small but well equipped two-bedroom cottage suited me perfectly.”

The location close to Ryde and yet in the countryside was ideal and it was a good launch point for my activities which involved walking and sight-seeing. I was able to return home to warm rooms, comfy furniture, Netflicks, great cooking facilities and constant hot water and then retire to one of the best beds I have ever slept in. Hosts were on-site but never intrusive. The IoW recycling system is rather complicated but there were plenty of instructions on how to get it right for collection day. There was a good parking spot and, had it been suitable weather, there was a small garden with BBQ. Outside lights were handy for the nights drawing in and I particularly liked the patio doors - these would be a boon in the summer. My bedroom had plenty of storage, a great dressing table/desk and loads of power sockets. The towels were a decent size and the shower had a strong flow of water. Finding wine, water and beer in the fridge was a lovely touch and I would return to this location and accommodation.

“Better directions to the cottage, the details provided take you away past your destination”

- Mrs Robertson, September 2018
“The cottage had everything we needed.”

The location is very good and easy to find. The owners were very helpful. The private garden was nice to sit out in especially early in the morning listening to the birds. I would definitely recommend this cottage.

- Mrs Sims, August 2018
“Fantastic place to stay 5 ***** Cottage is lovely, has everything you need and spotlessly clean.”

Location is also fantastic, very peaceful. The owners Helen and Paul are very friendly and accommodating, They even took us to meet their ponies and sheep and also gave us a few idea of things to do on our holiday. Perfect in every way.

- Mrs Butterfield, August 2018
“Lovely Little Horse Holiday!”

We booked this place pretty much exclusively because we saw there were miniature horses on the property. The owner was very kind and took us out to meet them, as well as all the sheep. Some were still quite young and they have a wide range of sheep breeds, so that actually turned out to be quite a treat as well! The property is very quiet (I didn’t hear anyone from the other cottages) and had ample parking. The owners were very clear that we should ask for anything that we need and very hospitable. They provided a fan as it was very hot, and there’s a communal laundry facility you can use where they provide soap. There was milk, tea, cocoa, sugar, etc in the kitchen and a decent size fridge and freezer. We didn’t have a problem getting anywhere on the island from here. Would recommend!

“The instructions on how to get there are inaccurate.”

It is not 0.2 miles from the roundabout - more like 150 yards.

- Mr Williams, May 2018
“The Stables was fantastic everything you could want for a very good holiday.”

The owners Helen and Paul were very helpful and informative about the island,We would love to go back in the Summer

- Mrs Sheridan, March 2018
“We had a fabulous week at this very peaceful cottage.”

Good location for our cycling and walking. Only short distance into Ryde town centre. Host very welcoming. Home from home holiday, will look forward to returning. Thank you.

- Mrs Livingstone, February 2018
“The property was exactly what we wanted and as good as it said in the advert.”

The lady who owns the property was very nice and helpful. We both enjoyed our stay immensely and will definitely go with Sykes again.

- Ms Lee, September 2017
“Excellent, will return.”

Stayed for the week beginning 4th october 2014. Lovely cottage with a perfect view from your lounge. All amenities included, great kitchen and high standard throughout. Centrally heated with fab wet room and a comfortable bed. Central position on a quiet part of the island yet within easy reach of everything. Great pub 2 miles away serving amazing food with value, The White Hart, Havenstreet, advisable to book at peak times, try the Venison stew! All in all, great week,great cottage, very friendly owners go out of their way to help you. Highly recommend 5*. Will return.

“Best Place to Stay in Isle of Wight ... A MUST for Animal Lovers!”

My wife and I went to the Isle of Wight for a week to chill out and relax, and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay than The Stables! This vacation rental is in amazing condition, and has all the amenities you could ask for. As nice as it was though, the best part of the property was the horse farm! The owners Helen and Paul were very friendly, and they let my wife and I pet and play with their adorable Shetland ponies and their beautiful horse Whisper. The ponies were sooooo cute and friendly, especially the redhead Amber. Every morning, we started the day by feeding apples to the Shetland ponies and Whisper. It was magical. This rental property is a must for any animal lovers visiting the Isle of Wight. You will absolutely LOVE it there. We did.

“This is a lovely place to stay”

We came to this cottage for a week in august and it was brilliant I would recommend to stay there. The owner are lovely and made us feel welcome will be booking for next year soon

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, December 2012
“Warm welcome”

Have just spent only three days at this cottage with our three year old granddaughter and my 75 year old Mum but would definitely like to return. We received the warmest of welcomes from the owners - and their five ponies - much to the delight of our granddaughter. The cottage is in its first season as a holiday let but has been so well thought out in its design and decor and the outside space is both peaceful and safe for little ones. Any help we required was provided in the most friendly and helpful way possible by the owners and we would love to bring our whole family here as you can hire all three cottages together.
