Description
Bembridge 2.3 miles.
Located with the old English village of St Helens is this punchy pink property; St Michael’s House, a wonderful detached property ideal for families or a group of friends looking for a tranquil treat on the Isle of Wight, you can even bring the dog along for a coastal adventure!
The house features a lovely large sitting area, fit with a gas fire that looks like a woodburner, it adds to the quirky character that runs throughout the property, with ample seating and large bay windows overlooking the back garden, it’s the perfect place to watch woodland nature no matter the time of year.
Head up the staircase within the sitting area and into the three bedrooms; a double, a twin and a single, all providing ample wardrobe space, so you can be prepared for all of the indecisive weather choices of the Isle of Wight.
In the mornings, be sure to head to the kitchen to prepare a wonderful breakfast to keep you going through your day of exploration, in the summer months head to the back garden with your coffee and sit amongst the beautiful flower beds while the dog gets his morning exercise.
St Helens is a lovely residential area, scattered with places to eat and extremely close to the coast, take a walk across the beachfront before heading to the Hungry Bear for a bite to eat.
If you’re after coastal cuisine, we recommend The Best Dressed Crab, right on the seafront, it offers wonderful seafood for you to take away whilst you explore your surroundings.
To get a closer experience of the seas, be sure to head to Bembridge Marine or Harbour Office, where you can hire boats to take to sea, or for the more advanced water lover, check out the yacht and sailing clubs.
Shanklin Chine is a must see whilst in the area, just a short drive away, this wonderful tourist attraction offers glorious waterfalls, walkways, and a heritage centre where you can find out about the history of the area.

What guests are saying
St Michaels House is a real home-from-home.
This was my second stay. Sally met us when we arrived - with homemade cake and fresh milk in the fridge, much appreciated after a day of travelling. The three bedrooms are large and comfortable. The garden is always a priority for me, with two small but energetic dogs - this garden is safe and a very good size. St Michaels House is a short drive to the large dog friendly Yaverland Beach. I hope to return for a third visit.
Thank you so much for your kind review, Candice. I am so pleased that you had a lovely time here again, but am so sorry that your holiday was slightly shortened by such inclement weather. I look forward to seeing you again.
This was a very comfortable cottage and we enjoyed our stay.
Sally our host was very friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed the lovely lemon drizzle cake. Would certainly stay again.
Thank you very much for your kind review, Sue. It was a pleasure hosting you. I do hope that you will return one day.
What a charming cottage!
We have thoroughly enjoyed our few days at St Michael's House - but it would be hard not to with such a friendly and efficient hostess as Sally - who had even baked us a delicious cake for our arrival! The cottage is absolutely delightful and so very relaxing! It was clean and extremely well equipped. The proximity to the coast, lovely, peaceful walks and easy links by car to everywhere we wanted to visit made everything so enjoyable. We will definitely be coming back next year! Cherry, Jemma and Oskar
I do apologise for taking so long to thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. I am delighted that you had such an enjoyable break and do hope that you will return one day.
St michael's house is a fabulous home away from home with all the amenities you need.
Sally is the perfect lovely host. Good sized dog friendly garden which is a lovely sun trap. The location is perfect for beautiful beaches and shops within walking distance although we always take bikes with us as the island has so much to offer.
Thank you so much for the fabulous review. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you all again and we hope to see you all again next year! Thank you also again gor watering the pots!
Lovely little gem of a cottage, close to all amenities.
Sally (owner) meet us on arrival & we were treated to a homemade Lemon drizzle cake. Garden is very secure for our four legged family, who had a wonderful time. Would recommend for a nice peaceful and relaxing holiday
I am so pleased that you enjoyed staying at our cottage and that you had a lovely holiday. Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review, and I hope that you will return one day.
Such a cosy and comfy place to stay with a wonderful garden - and parking!
Sally is a perfect host, there to greet you on arrival and a super home-made cake and fizz!! The stairs are a bit steep but the bedrooms are a good size and there is a bathroom upstairs and shower room down so everyone accommodated. Lovely supply of videos and games. Perfect family holiday home. We love it!
It was lovely to see you, Mike and Betsy again and to hear that you had such a lovely holiday. Thank you so much for your kind revue and we hope to see you again.
Our third visit to this lovely cosy home.
Our dogs love the large garden and it is an easy walk to the harbour. Very friendly owners who very quickly sorted out a minor plumbing problem and are very helpful.
It was lovely to see you again and thank you so much for your complimentary review. We hope to see you again and thank you for leaving the cottage so pristine as usual!
What a lovely cottage !
Everything you need is supplied. Sally the owner met us on arrival and had made us a wonderful cake Garden secure perfect for dogs and children Only two things to note ! Only parking for one vehicle The stairs are very steep but have handrails both sides just something to mindful of if you are taking small children Would we go again. YES !!!
Thank you for your lovely review, Linda. We so enjoyed meeting all three of you and the two dogs. Occasionally we get guests with two cars but one of them has to park further up the road. We do hope that you will return one day to enjoy more of the 500 miles of footpaths on the island.
We loved our stay at St Michael's House and are planning a return visit soon.
Thank you to Sally for making us so welcome and for the delicious homemade cake. The house is ideally situated for exploring the island either by foot, car or public transport. A little gem with a great garden to sit in and watch the birds.
It was a pleasure meeting you both, Susan, and thank you so much for your lovely review. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. I do hope that you will return in the not-too-distant future and hopefully Anthony can take Simon on a lovely walk!
We loved our stay at Sally's!
Sally was there on arrival to talk us through the house and the area. She'd baked a lovely chocolate cake which was an excellent surprise for my son! The house had everything we needed and was in the perfect position for everything we wanted to do in the area. The garden was lovely and safe for our pup and we saw a red squirrel a couple of times which was amazing! We are looking to book again for next year :)
It was a pleasure meeting you all and I am so pleased that you enjoyed your time here so much. We will look forward to seeing you again next year and thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. I loved the children's drawings!
Had a lovely time actually spent 2 weeks at the cottage.
The cottage is warm and friendly and the garden is secure and Buddy and Meg had a great time exploring.There is also loads of beaches and the Duver walk is one of our favourites of which the route is posted on note board in the cottage.Our thanks to our friendly hosts Sally and Anthony for the cake and sorting out the shark problem . Have rebooked for later in the year as we love our IOW trips.
Thank you for the lovely review and also for leaving the cottage pristine as usual! Just one point to explain to anyone reading this - the Shark refers to the cleaner, not those in the sea!!! We look forward to seeing all four of you in October.
Lovely home from home.
Sally was there to meet is and show us round which was useful, also baked us a fabulous cake, thank you. Garden is lovely and secure for dogs. Beds comfortable and whole place cosy. Would recommend The Vine for food and Sage cafe for coffee and cake, both 10 min walk in the village. Proximity to beach is great via the walk along the cause way to St Helens. Would definitely book again
Thank you so much for your kind review, Alison. It was a pleasure hosting you and I shall look forward to meeting you all again, hopefully with a little more sunshine!
The cottage is exactly as on the photos and is very well equipped with everything needed.
It’s perfectly located to explore the IOW with plenty of beautiful trails at its door step. The hosts are very welcoming and available whenever needed without being intrusive. We’d love to be back.
Thank you so much, Natali, for your kind comments. As you say, there are plenty of lovely walks in the area. There are actually about 500 miles of footpaths on the island! I do hope that you will return one day in slightly better weather conditions.
Lovely warm welcome and we were presented with a lovely chocolate cake too.
Sally and Anthony couldn't have done more for us during our stay. Very dog friendly (Olly even had his own present) safe and secure with a long garden for him to run around in and explore.The house was even decorated for Christmas for his human companions to enjoy.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at our cottage and do hope that you will return one day, maybe when it is a little warmer!
Just back from 4th trip at St Michael’s house Had again lovely time and can’t wait to return Lots to see and do in the area
Thank you, Helen, for your kind remarks. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay here again. I shall look forward to seeing you again next year.
We always enjoy our holidays at St Michaels cottage.
Quiet, relaxing and comfortable. Sally is very accommodating and helpful. Always a lovely cake on arrival. Lovely and clean. Perfect garden for our doggies, who also feel very at home quickly. Perfect location for all the places we love to visit. Lots of lovely beaches for the dog walks close by. Hope to return next year.
It was lovely to see you all again and I do hope that Richard’s parents enjoyed themselves on their first visit. I will hopefully see you again next year and good luck to Noah for his A Levels.
Had a wonderful stay 2nd visit as we enjoyed the cosy cottage first time around.
The secured garden is perfect for the dogs and there are plenty of walks close by.The cottage is very homely, clean, well equipped and the owners are very welcoming and helpful.Have even booked a couple of weeks next year as it is such a relaxing place.
It was lovely seeing you again and we will look forward to greeting you in 2026. I am so pleased that you love it so much here!
What a wonderful 10 days at St Michael's House.
We were greeted by Sally with a delicious lemon drizzle cake, and milk in the refrigerator for our pot of tea. The garden is so safe and secure for my 2 small dogs. The kitchen is very well stocked with equipment for the evenings that we ate at home. I won't have to trawl through the Sykes website from now on - St Michael's House is top of my list for visiting the Isle of Wight.
I am so pleased that you enjoyed yourselves and do hope that you return one day. It was a pleasure hosting you and your lovely dogs.
Nice cosy property all you need at hand , quiet location secure garden if taking a pet five minute stroll from shop and pub.
Sally the host meet us on arrival making us feel at home full of information and very friendly lady
Thank you so much for taking the time to give the cottage a lovely review. I do hope to see you again one day. It was a pleasure hosting you.
We loved our stay at this lovely cottage.
Lovely garden for our Chester as well as great indoor space. Location wise-St Helens beach a walk away and easy access to Bembridge. The host was welcoming and gave us all the info we needed to stride out round the island!
Thank you, Marc, for your lovely feedback. I am very grateful. It was a pleasure meeting you and I do hope that return one day.
Lovely home away from home with everything you need.
Sally was very welcoming and made a lovely lemon drizzle cake for when we arrived. St Michaels house is an ideal base for visiting the Isle of Wight, plenty room for a holiday stay with a lovely garden.
Thank you so much for your very kind review. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your holiday and do hope that you will return one day.
A lovely holiday home in a lovely location.
The secure garden is perfect for our dog. There are many local walks, places to visit and plenty of excellent pubs and places to eat.
Thank you for taking the trouble to write such a lovely review, Derek. It was great to see both of you, and Maggie, again and we really look forward to seeing you next May!
Our second visit to this cottage.
It is well equipped and very comfortable. Our dogs love the garden and the owners are very helpful and friendly.
Thank you so much for your kind review. It was lovely seeing you both and your gorgeous dogs again and we shall look forward to greeting you again.
This is a splendidly cosy house.
So well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen and lots of games and dvds in the sitting room. Beautiful, dog friendly garden. Fabulous lemon drizzle cake on arrival and a bottle of fizz - such a lovely surprise and the owners Sally and Anthony are utterly charming and always on hand to help or give advice. We shall be coming back as soon as we can.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was a pleasure meeting and hosting you and we look forward to seeing you again.
This is the 2nd visit to this lovely cottage.
Humans and dogs love the location, short walk to the local pub, and many different walks can be made from the cottage. Only negative I can offer is that at 6 foot 4 I lost count of the number of times I banged my head even though there are signs everywhere!!!!!
I am so sorry about your bumps, Scott, but am so thankful that you mentioned that there are signs everywhere! It was lovely seeing you, Jackie, Bella and Lulu again and I am so pleased that you had another good holiday. Hopefully you won’t have been put off by the low cottage ceilings and we will see you again some time.
We had a lovely week both weatherwise and comfort wise.
The welcome from Sally was so helpful and the lemon drizzle cake amazing!!! Once we had mastered the stairs!!! there was nothing to fault the wonderful accommodation and it was a very memorable stay. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am so pleased that you had a lovely time. It does state in the details that the stairs are steep and narrow and there are photographs, but I am very pleased that they didn't stop you enjoying the cottage.
A perfect stay for us humans and the dogs.
Such a cosy comfortable cottage in a great location with such a friendly and welcoming host! We’ve already booked for next year!
Thank you so much, Pip. It was a pleasure hosting all three of you and we look forward to seeing you next Easter!
We had a wonderful stay at St Michael's house a very cosy cottage with everything you could wish for to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
The dogs enjoyed exploring the garden and had great fun on their walks around the local area.We were very lucky with the weather albeit a bit chilly but with the cosy cottage to come back to made it a very enjoyable week.Many thanks to Sally for the welcome on arrival and to Anthony for the delicious cake.Looking forward to our next visit.
I am sorry that I have taken so long to respond, Paul! Thank you so much for your kind comments - it was a pleasure meeting you and I do hope that you return one day.
Sally was the best host.
Friendly, helpful and makes the greatest lemon drizzle cake x
Thank you for your kind comments, Lynn. It was lovely meeting you all. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your holiday here and do hope that you return one day!
Lovely comfortable cosy cottage with a beautiful enclosed large garden that our two dogs loved as much as us.
On arrival we received a friendly warm welcome from the owner, Sally, who showed us around and presented us with a delicious home baked cake. Really thoughtful personal touch and very much appreciated. Sally has the right balance in making her guests feel very welcome coupled with being readily available without being intrusive. The property itself is wonderfully charming and is well equipped. It is ideally situated for walks to the local beach and marshes.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Sam. It is much appreciated. I am so pleased that you had an enjoyable time here despite the weather, and I do hope that you will return and see us in the sunshine!
The stairs were very steep, and with bad knees a job to climb.
The tiles in the down stairs shower needed a good clean as the grout was black I places. Apart from that it was comfy and warm.
I am sorry that you found the stairs steep but it Is stated in the description of the cottage and they are pictured clearly. We are sorting out the grout - we only have from 10am - 3pm on Saturdays and the cottage has been fully let since February. I do hope that you have successful treatment for your knees soon. January 2025 - I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT THE GROUT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REJUVENATED AND LOOKING LIKE NEW.
A lovely cottage ,quaint and quirky in its own way but with modern facilities.
Good for all seasons with a enclosed spacious garden for good weather days and a cosy easy to heat cottage when the weather isn't so good . On the east of the Isle of Wight so close to areas such as Ryde and Shanklin. We all had a great stay including our dog. Sally is a great host who lives locally so if on the rare event you have problems you have a quick and easy contact.
Sally is a fantastic host could not have done more.
The accomadation was more than we expected and Sally had thought of every thing could find no fault at all.It was the best we have stayed in .In my 40 years of holiday rental this was and is the best by far.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments, Mary. It was a pleasure having you at the cottage and I very much look forward to greeting you all again.
No problem, but as stated the stairs are very steep and narrow, l have an arthritic knee and l found it difficult , our host (Sally) was very accommodating
I am so sorry that I have taken so long to reply. I am also sorry that you found the stairs steep and narrow - it did mention in the summary online that they are. I do hope that your knee can be sorted soon, David. It was a pleasure meeting you all and I do hope that you will be fit enough to return one day.
This house is without doubt “home from home”.
It is exceptionally dog friendly and has everything you could want for your ideal holiday. Location is good with a lovely walk across the causeway to the beach, walking distance to Bembridge too. The Vine Inn serves beautiful food (walking distance) St Michael’s House is very well equipped so if you forget something don’t panic - it will be there! Excellent host and nothing is too much trouble. On hand to give location tips and welcomes you with freshly made cake!
Thank you, Gail, for taking the trouble to write a review. It is much appreciated. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your holiday here and do hope that you will return in the not-too-distant future.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house everything was as described the lemon drizzle cake on arrival was delicious the cottage has everything you need it is so peaceful and central for getting out and exploring every day
Thank you so much for your kind review, Jane. It was lovely meeting you, your husband and sister and lovely Laura. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your holiday here. We do hope that you will return one day.
It was lovely to meet owners Sally and Anthony, and thankyou for the delicious cake.
Comfortable house, great garden and enjoyed our time on IOW. A maintenance issue was swiftly dealt with by Sally. Tx
We were very happy in St Michael's House and have already booked it for next year.
It is comfortable and well equipped and in a quiet location but close to a shop, a pub and a lovely beach. Our dogs enjoyed the large garden.
Thank you for your kind review. It was a pleasure hosting you at the cottage and we will very much look forward to greeting next year.
It's taken me far too long to write this review considering how much we adored our stay here.
St Michael's House is such a homely, cosy place, ideally located close to St Helen's Duver. But it isn't just it's location that makes this such a lovely place, it's the owners too; Sally and Anthony are such gracious, kind hosts. My only issue, and it's a really small one, are the. beds. The mattresses feel a little tired when compared with the memory foam ones we have at home. But honestly, we all slept soundly regardless. We fell in love with this house so much – we'd stay permanently if we could! I genuinely can't wait to return to St Michael's House.
Lovely cottage and very nice owner who met us and looked after us.
We hope to stay here again
Thank you so much for your kind review. It was a pleasure having you at the cottage. We will look forward to greeting you again in the not-too-distant future.
St Michaels House is so welcoming and cosy.
Sally the owner was there to greet us on arrival. She had made us the most amazing cake. There was also milk and tea and coffee so we could sit and relax with a slice and a cuppa after our journey The cottage is a bit smaller than it looks on the photos but so homely and comfortable.The dog proof garden was great for our little houdini aka Ted. The weather was not brilliant but it was nice to settle back in the comfort of the cottage after a day out. St Helens is a good base for seeing the island and The Vine pub serves some lovely pub grub. We would certainly recommend St Michaels House and look forward to staying there again in the future.
Thank you so much, Sue, for your kind review and it was a pleasure meeting all three of you and, of course, Ted. I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay so much. I shall look forward to greeting you again and hope that the weather will be a great deal kinder to you.
Such a lovely place to stay - comfortable accommodation, lovely secure garden for our dog, ideal location for either local walks or as a base for visiting anywhere else on the island.
Thank you so much for your kind review. It was a pleasure have you at the cottage and we look forward hopefully to you coming to stay again.
We had a lovely weekend away with family and our dog.
We were greeted by Sally who gave us the most wonderful chocolate cake to welcome us and celebrate my husband and I's wedding anniversary. The property had everything you could need and was fully prepared for doggies! Sally was very attentive to our needs and could not have been any more kind and friendly. Thank you so much xxx
Thank you so much for your very kind review, Christina. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your short break and do hope that you will return one day and see the island in better weather!
Just returned from St Micheal’s house after 13 nights Sally was fantastic host greeting us on arrival Nothing was to much trouble for her and left us with lovely home baked cake and bottle of wine The cottage is home from home and so comfortable We had 2 dogs with us who loved the safe garden St Helens is lovely village and would recommend a visit to Duver and Michael Angeles in Ryde.
Will definitely return to St Michels house brilliant find
Thank you, Helen and Mike, for your kind review. It is much appreciated. It was a pleasure having you staying at the cottage and we shall look forward to greeting you, Harry and the dogs in the not-too-distant future. Let's hope for better weather next time!
What a lovely cosy and peaceful cottage, everything provided and more, thanks Sally for the delicious cake and treats for Max, even though the weather wasn't perfect, who care's, when you can relax in this charming house, can't wait to book for another break later in the year
Thank you so much for your kind feedback, Tracy. I am so pleased that you enjoyed yourself so much. It was a pleasure having you to stay in our cottage and I shall look forward to meeting you again.
As always felt like we were at home on arrival, had a wonderful relaxing peaceful time.
Sally and Anthony are amazing hosts, and have already booked for our next Christmas stay.
Thank you so much, Jackie. It is always a pleasure to greet you and Phillip, and, of course, Lucy. See you next Christmas!
Expect a warm welcome from Sally, the owner, to this cozy home with everything needed for a wonderful holiday.
The garden is lovely and safe for dogs (and children if you have them) and I imagine it is a wonderful place to sit with a glass of something on a summers evening although we were unable to sample that, it being October! St Helens itself makes a good base from which to explore the Isle of Wight. We had a superb holiday despite the stormy weather at times and will most definitely be back - we still have walks to complete!
Thank you so much for your kind review, Philippa. It was a pleasure meeting you both and Poppy, of course. I hope your friends enjoyed their few days. We will very much look forward to greeting you again at some point in the future, hopefully in less inclement weather!
This was our 2nd visit to this wonderful property.
We were greeted by Sally the lovely owner, who had made us a very nice walnut cake, there was also tea, milk & sugar to get us started. The house is very clean 10/10, has everything you need, with a wonderful private, well enclosed peaceful garden for our dog to enjoy running around. The location is very easy to access, & walking distance to St Helen's causeway. We will definitely be returning again. Thank you for a perfect stay Sally & Anthony.
Thank you so much, Maria, for your lovely review. It was great to see you, Phil and Harvey again and we will look forward to seeing you next year - don't forget to bring the sunshine with you again!!
Had a lovely week despite the weather St Michaels house is in a quiet location with beaches in the locality the proprty is well furnished with a lovely dog freindly garden.
Our thanks to our lovely hosts who made us very welcome
Very good welcome from the owner together with delicious cake.
Garden was great with nice furniture. Unfortunately we came with two cars and parking for our second car was very difficult as there are lots of double yellow lines.
I am sorry about the problem with bringing two cars. I am in the process of purchasing a plot of land for parking one car in the field opposite, so hopefully it might be easier then. I do hope that you had a lovely time otherwise.
We had a wonderful week at the cottage.
Sally,the lovely owner,met us and showed us round.We felt at home as soon as we walked in.She had left us milk in the fridge,and a delicious homemade cake, which we thoroughly enjoyed. There was everything provided that we could possibly need. Our cockapoos Charlie and Poppy loved the large garden which was all enclosed so we could relax! The location of the cottage was ideal for exploring the island,we especially loved the Donkey sanctuary,and the Steam railway. To sum it all up our holiday was PERFECT,and would thoroughly recommend St Micheals House.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure meeting both of you and I am so pleased that you and the dogs so enjoyed your stay. We do hope that you will return one day.
Lovely and homely property, with helpful and friendly owner.
We have stayed her twice already and plan to return again!
It was lovely to see you and your family again and we look forward to seeing you again soon! Thank you for your great review!
Very comfortable cottage, with good heating.
All is very well organised. The owner came to greet us with a warm welcome.
Thank you for your kind review. It was good to meet you and your delightful family. I do hope that you may return some time and see more of our lovely island.
The best simple
St Michael's House provided first rate accommodation for our week's stay at The Island.
The owners Anthony and Sally were exceedingly welcoming and answered all our queries promptly. Their attention to detail was much appreciated and assisted us in making our holiday a memorable one. The homemade cake was an unexpected and enjoyable bonus. This venue allowed us to visit all parts of The Island as well as enjoying the local walks in beautiful surroundings. We hope to return soon.
Absolutely superb Sally the owner was an excellent host even meeting us to go through things about the house which made you feel so welcome, all comforts for tessa the dog provided Will throughly recommend Great base to tour East of island the red squirrels in garden a real treat bravo
Thank you for your kind review. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your holiday - the red squirrels came up trumps for you! Hope to see you again at some point in the future.
Lovely place to stay ,very homely everything you need.
Sally the owner made us welcome from start to finish lovely home made cake and a smile.There was milk and coffee for an unwind drink after a long journey. Many thanks
So glad you enjoyed yourselves! Thank you for your kind comments and score. Hope to see you again sometime if you come back to the island!
We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely, well equipped and comfortable cottage.
The owner, Sally, made us very welcome and even provided us with a delicious cake!! Seeing the red squirrels was a bonus. We hope to revisit the cottage in the future.
Thank you, Jo and Barry, for your lovely feedback. It was a pleasure meeting you and I am so pleased that you were happy with everything. I look forward to meeting you again, hopefully in better weather!
Sally the owner was at the cottage when we arrived.
lovely lady showed us everything we needed to know. We took our dog. Nice secure garden for him and dog beds .bowls etc. Sun shined in on us every morning with the very large windows down to the floor ..which was lovely. Just a shame it rained later We did quite a bit of cooking .have everything we needed. Big walk in shower downstairs and bathroom upstairs. Cottage is in a nice location not far from ryde town which has a nice town and beach. Parking was ok just a few steps across from cottage. Our dog decided to bite the corner of one of the pillows cases. We told Sally we had ordered a replace duvet set, she was really understanding about this which was nice. Nice little cottage for a small family in a good location for travelling all over the Isle of Wight
Thank you for your kind comments, Helen. Please don't worry about the pillow cases - it was very kind of you to go to all the trouble of replacing them. I am pleased that you had a good holiday and enjoyed the cottage and the island. We hope that you will return one day. Jett is forgiven!!!
What a fabulous cottage, exactly as listed and more.
Ideally situated, warm, comfortable and fully equipped with everything we needed. We received a very warm welcome from Sally, who ensured we made ourselves at home. Sally was on hand if needed, but left us to enjoy our stay. Recommend without any hesitation.
Thank you, Jan, so much for your kind comments - they are very much appreciated. I am so pleased that you and your family ( including Barney Bear!!! ) had such a lovely time here and we hope that one day you might return.
Good and friendly host
Thank you for your kind review. We hope that you return at some point in the future.
Excellent property , very helpful owners who met us there.
Great location and even in the winter there is loads todo. Will definitely be back.
We are so pleased that you had a lovely time on the island and that you were so satisfied with the cottage. We do hope to be able to greet you again at some time in the future, including your gorgeous dog!
Sally the lovely owner gave us a very warm welcome & showed us around this beautiful property, giving an excellent guide of the house & explaination of how the gas fire & other items worked, with 2 folders with all the information to hand that you need.
She had also made a very beautiful cake & some shortbread, with milk tea, sugar & coffee provided, which were very much enjoyed throughout our stay. The house & garden are very lovely, all enclosed so your dog is quite safe. The water is always as hot as you need it to be & the showers are great. This is a very peaceful location & St Helen's causeway is lovely to walk across to the beach. Very easy to get to Ryde & other locations, very well situated. We met Anthony during the week who was also lovely, & he fixed the gas fire - which just need batteries to restart it. I will happily return to this property on my next visit. I was 100% very happy with my stay, a home from home. Thank you to Sally & Anthony for everything they do to make sure you are happy, they are always there for you, s
Thank you, Maria, for your lovely comments. It was a pleasure meeting you, Phil and, of course, Harvey. We shall very much look forward to your return visit.
This was my third visit and it’s very comfortable and in a good location.
The owner makes you very welcome and provides excellent home made biscuits to great you. There was a problem with the internet and a new router was provided by the isp. It meant I watch the good life on dvd ! Home from home lol
We had a wonderful stay.
The cake and biscuits were a lovely welcome gesture. The cottage is in a good location and is equipped with everything you need. It’s a good size so you don’t feel overcrowded. The fully enclosed garden gave us piece of mind that our dog was safe and able to go out on his own.
I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and thank you for your lovely comments. I hope that you may return one day.
Ourselves and our two cocker spaniels received a warm welcome from Sally the owner of the cottage.
The cottage suited our needs and had all the facilities that we required. It is located in a nice quiet area and we were able to place the vehicle in a safe location near to the cottage. I would definitely recommend as a place to stay especially with dogs , this being probably the most dog friendly cottage that we have stayed at.
Thank you for your kind comments. It was a pleasure meeting you and I am so glad that you had such a lovely time despite the disappointing weather and the sad news we all had last Thursday.
Lovely trip ,if you think of selling can I have first refusal!
!!!! No joke!
Great garden great house
Thank you so much for your kind review. I do hope that you will return one day!
Very cosy cottage with all you could want and more excellent hosts very welcoming Cottage would benefit for some sun loungers
Thank you for your lovely review. It was a pleasure meeting you and we are delighted that you had such a lovely holiday. We will look out for some weatherproof sunloungers as there would be nowhere to store them inside. Hope to see you again one day.
We had a fabulous time in the cottage plus a secure garden for our Cockapoo Charlie, we toured most of the island, a short walk or drive to wonderful dog friendly beaches, accommodation was very good, everything you could need and more, plenty of garden furniture for outdoor dining.
.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My only issue…..Some sun loungers would have made it perfect.
Perfect family holiday home in a good location for exploring the Isle of Wight.
The property was clean, comfortable and perfect for dogs - who are actively encouraged.
Thank you so much for your kind review. I am so pleased that you had such a lovely experience. I hope to welcome you back at some point in the future.
Delightful cottage with lovely sunny and secluded, doggy-safe garden.
A real home from home in which we were made to feel very welcome. Beautiful spot on the island.
Thank you for your lovely comments, they are much appreciated. We do hope that you will return one day.
We had a lovely week at St michaels House it was warm and comfortable, the owner Sally was very helpful and greeted us with a lovely cake.
The Vine PH a short walk away does lovely food in a friendly atmosphere.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am so pleased that you had such a lovely time.
We had a wonderful stay at St.
Michael's house. Sally was very welcoming and generous. The homemade cake was very tasty. We had a very comfortable and cosy stay and all the extras for our dog were a real bonus. We would definitely visit again.
A wonderful winter break in this cosy cottage.
Our hosts were welcoming and generous. The cottage is ideally placed for exploring, with many beautiful walks on your doorstep. Walking distance to post office, pub and an amazing antiquarian bookshop. The surrounding coast and countryside is impossibly pretty and the night skies literally sparkle. We’ve had a lovely winter break and would highly recommend.
We are so pleased that you had such a good time and look forward to meeting you again.
Just got home from a wonderful week at St Micheal's House.
Honestly cannot fault it at all. Sally was there to welcome us when we arrived and gave us a quick tour of the cottage and told us some history of the property. She had even baked us a cake and put a pint of milk in the fridge so we could have a cup of tea whilst we settled in. All bed linen, towels, etc were included. Also little things like hairdryers, soap, and washing up liquid which most places always overlook. The house was lovely and clean and very cosy. The garden is a great size if you have inquisitive dogs and/or children. Very pet-friendly. Dog beds, towels, blankets, water bowls, and treats were all provided which was a nice touch. I managed to break my ankle on the first day of the holiday by falling down a pothole on the causeway. Sally was lovely and offered us aids such as a wheelchair, shower seat, and bath seat in order to make our stay more comfortable. She also gave us some ideas of places to visit which were accessible. I honestly cannot think of a single bad thing to say about the whole week. Even the weather was good for Halloween/Bonfire Night week. Lovely host and lovely accommodation. We ventured out to Appley park which is a must-do for anyone who wants a walk along the coast and also through woodland etc. And also the walk that Sally recommends when you check-in (Just watch out for potholes ;) ). Also busy bees garden centre is right opposite the big Tesco and a must-do. Especially if you visit when their Christmas shop is there. It is a beautiful place to go and visit. We will definitely be coming back next year once we have booked annual leave. Thank you so much!!! <3 x
Had a great stay with our grandchildren, nice place for hub to explore the island, and very friendly people in the village, we would love to stay again.
Thank you.
Lovely cottage!
Absolutely perfect for our week on the Isle of Wight. Cottage was in a really quiet location & had everything you would need for a week away self catering. Thank you Sally for allowing us to stay at St Michaels House
The owner is very friendly and helpful.
She goes the extra mile. Sykes are expensive tho. The place is very good if you have a dog. The beds are comfortable. The owner Sally cooked me some biscuits which were lovely
Great host and perfect location
Smaller than expected from photo but loved the cosy homely feel.
Two minutes from dog friendly beach and an ideal situation for visiting all the island has to offer. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic holiday in the Isle of Wight & the accommodation was faultless.
We will definitely be returning
Beautiful cottage, very well equipped, clean and comfortable.
Quiet location but very access to other parts of the island and local area. My family and I had a great holiday and it was lovely to 'come home' each night.
Lovely house sally was there to welcome us.
The house was lovely and clean safe garden for the dogs. Comfy beds in fact excellent all round.
A very well appointed extremely clean property with a well maintained enclosed garden.
We could not fault our stay at St Michael's House, from the warm welcome and delicious lemon drizzle cake to the extremely well-quipped accommodation.
All was beyond our expectations.
Sally is a brilliant hostess and we have never been to a place better prepared for dogs.
The garden is secure, there are dog bowls and treats, it all works. And the kitchen has all the gadgets you might ever hope to see and then some. Beds comfortable, everything sparkling. Easy to get to once you spot the little road. And never have I heard so many birds. The woodpecker was clearly practising to compete with Liam Gallagher, Philip the Pheasant was on fine form though we didn’t see Philippa. The Best Dressed Crab just down the road gave us outstanding sea food, crab baguettes and lobster salad. Lily’s in Seaview dud us proud for Monday pre ferry brunch. And St Helen’s is v convenient for everywhere we wanted to be. Almost certainly going back, if Sally will have us.
was a lovely place very comfortable sally was lovely.
This is a good holiday let which is well equipped and very comfortable.
The garden is lovely and ideal for dog owners. I must admit that I had a very lazy week and look forward to going again. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Sally is a nice lady that genuinely cares to provide a good service. The location is ideal for a lovely holiday with Bembridge coop, boots, butchers, bakers, fish and chips and pubs nearby.St. Helens has a small general store which carries all essentials. I will be back.
St Michael's house was absolutely perfect for our stay.
Sally and Anthony were so welcoming and helpful, and the cottage itself was so comfortable, homely and well equipped. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog, who made it his own immediately. Fantastic barbecue and all the tools you could need. Thank you also for the delicious cake Sally! St Helen's is a lovely little village, our youngest enjoyed the park on the green, and we all enjoyed a walk to the Duver and St Helen's beach via the causeway - especially when the tide was in! We love the Isle of Wight and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property.
We were especially impressed with our welcome and the helpfulness of the owner throughout.
St.Michael's House makes a wonderful quiet retreat and and St. Helen's is a fine locality with good basic amenities. The property also makes a great base for exploring the rest of the Isle of Wight.
We had a lovely week in the Isle of Wight.
Great family cottage, a really warm welcome from the owner Sally, who had baked us a cake. Dog-friendly home and good recommendations of beaches for dog walks. We were blessed with glorious weather.
The cottage is so lovely and cozy, made even more perfect as it was all decorated for our Christmas stay, and as before a beautifully made cake awaiting us with milk, tea and coffee to refresh us after our long journey.
With treats, dog beds and towels for the dogs too.
Sally was a very attentive host, she made the effort to come & meet us even though she was busy the weekend we stayed The house is perfect for dogs & families.
Comfortable & cosy. Ideally located for walks & a shop at the top of the road. Would highly recommend.
The cottage was perfect for our dog friendly stay, the enclosed garden was tidy with a lovely patio, tables, chairs and brand new BBQ.
The accommodation was clean and everything was brand new from pots and pans to linen and towels. The Cottage is very cosy and the gas fire in the lounge (looks like a coal fire) was great to pop on after some great walks with the dog in Bembridge and surrounding coastal areas. The Owners Sally and Anthony kindly met us on arrival and gave us a guided tour of the property, they also pointed out some wonderful walks all of which were possible from the house, this meant no need for four wheels. Also local advice about lure fishing off the rocks past the Bembridge Lifeboat station at low tide, right behind the large hotel i managed a nice plump Bass!!!!!!!!!!! We loved our stay here and will be back as it was our first time on the isle of wight, I think we struck gold and even though we fully explored the whole island we fell in love with Bembridge, from the lovely seafood at both the floating seafood cafe restaurant (no dogs inside but allowed on the deck) in the harbour, and the Baywatch Cafe which was dog friendly inside and out. I highly recommend the Crab Thermidor.
