4 The Old Smithy

could not find faults didnt look for faullts like some if you want a nice quite get away clean house all you need, even a milk frother which made my coffee a treat as never used one before Bed a little soft for us but not a fault.

The mattresses on the beds it was not great.

Also the downstairs toilet it was making noise after every flash. Few days later stoped working at all Also, there was no teabags, coffee nothing in the house after a long journey to get into the property you would expect a couple of teabags or some coffee. Nothing !!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 4 The Old Smithy.

The location was good and, being at the end of a cul-de-sac away from the road, it was quiet and peaceful. It was a nice comfortable cottage which I heartily recommend.

We were very happy with the house itself and the location for bus services and local shops.

Everywhere was clean and comfortable and we appreciated the well equipped kitchen. The BBQ is now a charcoal one. We felt that the dining chairs needed replacing due to chewing of the legs. Ditto, 2 of the garden chairs where the wickerwork on the backs had been also chewed. Access to and from the bath was fine for us but may be tricky for someone less agile. It seems that the bath has been raised up, increasing the height of the rim. A walk in shower would be much safer. The upstairs toilet was very slow to empty.

A perfect holiday home.

Nice accommodation, comfortable and homely, Really enjoyed our stay,

100%, it's got everything, a perfect home from home holiday.

Not worth the amount paid facilities were very poor location was good

We've had a relaxing and enjoyable stay in this house.

It is clean, comfortable and well-presented and set in a quiet cul-de-sac with its own parking space. The local shops, pub and coffee shops are a short walk away. The coastal walks are easily accessed and other attractions are only a short drive.

This is a nice quiet house in a cul de sac.

lovely neighbours. very close to the village, only a 3-4 minute walk, and 10 minutes to the nearest beach which has beach shops, restaurant and bars. seemed safe for children. Really accessible for Freshwater and Yarmouth and beautiful views can be found from the military road only 10 minutes drive away. The house itself has everything you need, and very comfortable beds and lounge furniture. The only negatives from the whole experience was a strange smell emanating from under the stairs, which could have been from previous leaks or maybe a large wooden chest that is there. We didn't look inside but just bought a plug in air freshener which masked the smell whilst we were there, the garden could have done with a weed, (but a lovely sun trap) and some tv channels were unwatchable as the signal broke up. None of these things bothered us too much ... but would have been a 5* otherwise. Would we book this property again...YES without a doubt

We had another great stay at The Old Smithy.

Great location for getting to lovely spots and amenities on the doorstep. Thank you. We will book again.

The main comment I would make that all the mugs in the place were seriously crazed and one actually craccked.

This is a health hazard. The other problem that has been going on for a long time judging by the warped condition of the wooden bath panel. The shower screen on the bath is useless, the water finds its way under it and you end up with a lot of water on the bathroom floor. I dont like baths so I had to use a bucket and a mop every day. This is not what you would expect from a holiday property. If they leave it I hate to think of the damage to the floor/ ceiling below.

Lovely house, everything you need.

Home from home. Close to bus stop for trips to yarmouth .

Warm and cosy little house, well-equipped and tastefully decorated.

Good location for walking, especially around the cliff paths near Freshwater Bay and The Needles. It's also easy to get to from the Lymington -Yarmouth ferry. Thanks for a great stay.

Felt like home

We prefer old cottages but otherwise it was excellent.

A long mirror would have been useful.

Cottage was everything it said was, great location, pictures were exactly what we saw on Internet, great stay, would definitely stay again.

Lovely place just as discribed only fault was the shower which was difficult to adjust and the water could be scoldingly hot be aware

The house was clean, well maintained and had a well equipped kitchen - everything required for a wonderful stay.

The location in Freshwater is ideal to get to from the Lymmington/Yarmouth Ferry - literally 5 minutes drive. Easy reach to the Needles (walked it in an hour round the coastal path), and driving north/east to Cowes/Ryde/Osborne - very easy, as was South/east to Ventnor/Sandown/Shanklin/Godshill. Lots of great tea rooms and places to visit - many recommended by the host in their welcome pack. Very well equipped kitchen - oven/microwave/washer/dishwasher and enough cupboard space for a weekly shop. Private and well kept back garden with table and chairs. All in all an excellent property in an excellent holiday location

It's in a great location to visit the whole of the Isle of Wight.

Very well equipped house.

Very quiet neighbourhood and convenient for the beach and shops.

Modern furnished, clean and well equipped house in a quiet cul de sac in the centre of Freshwater.

Convenient location, with pub just 2 mins walk and beach 10mins walk.

The holiday house is very nice, clean and well equipped plus in a good position for us.

We had an enjoyable holiday and enjoyed our stay. Shops and a pub being close is an added bonus.

It was a lovely well equipped house, in a quiet location but close to the very good facilities in Freshwater village so no need to use the car.

The beach was within walking distance for younger people and just a five minute drive for us.

Fabulous location, beautiful property, quiet residential area and absolutely perfect for us.

very nice property with lots of extras.

However the mattress in the main bedroom needs replacing as is very saggy and lumpy and we couldn't sleep in there. Apart from that, a very nice place to stay

Fantastic holiday house
