  • "Father and son duo from land-locked Yorkshire, after many weeks of deliberating, decided to take our first holiday abroad."

    Scarborough, Brid and Skeggy done to death so, we took the plunge. Bit nervous about sailing across the sea but what calmed us down a bit was the discount just for booking the Barn. Discounts play a massive role in the lives of Yorkshire folk. After landing and trying to get rid of our wobbly sea-legs we set off to our digs for the week. Blooming eck, when we got there, it was on it's own apart from a secretly hidden big house somewhere in the back garden of Garstons Barn. It was a mile from the next house. We live on a cul-de-sac 100 metres long with 15 homes. We were gob-smacked. One thing you never see in a city is a pack of 40 Fox Hounds accompanied by two horse people, one brandishing a whip longer than the one Indiana Jones used, passing by your front door. It's a good job we brought plenty of our own dog POO BAGS to clean up the you know what. We understand that these hounds don't chase foxes but follow a scent trail. To be serious now. Garstons Barn is a hidden treasure. Remotely located within glorious countryside and upon saying that you are so central it takes just 30 minutes to reach the coast N,S,Eand West. The Barn itself is a dream. Furnished with high quality items, comfortable beds and first class bedding a sound sleep was assured. The living room and kitchen were again of the highest quality and spotlessly clean. We agree with all the previous 5 Star reviews so it's pointless to repeat them. Within 3 days at Garstons Barn, it was booked again by us for next year. John

    Many Thanks John and we look forward to your stay next October. I hope others enjoy reading it as we did! Property Owner

  • "Gastons Barn is located in a beautiful remote area, accessed by a series of single track (but well paved) lanes."

    The outlook from the upper floor and courtyard garden over the countryside is a delight. It was peaceful and the night skies very dark so ideal for stargazing. There are walks from the doorstep including a 4 mile circular walk to Carrisbroke and back - a great area for dog walks. The barn was very comfortable and well equipped. You do need your own transport (it would be a long walk to the nearest bus stop).

    Thank you Carole and so happy you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "Overall a good place to stay for the specific arrangements we need of separate bedrooms and bathrooms and a secure outdoor space."

    Dogs allowed but no facilities provided, not even spare poo bags. Notes on the guest information booklet also states to not let them upstairs. With no safety gates, a family or group would need to keep doors closed all the time or keep a close eye on pets. Guest information is available but not as detailed as it could be for first time visitors to the island or anyone not sure how to manage heating controls etc themselves, so prepare for your visit. There was a couple of broken fittings and fixtures, which at the price bracket shouldn't have been left. We worked around them. The accommodation has quality fittings and furnishings on the whole otherwise, with lovely curtains in the lounge and large bedroom. The accommodation was surface clean but attention on windows, under furniture, around taps, sinks and appliances is needed along with disposing of out of date produce and ensuring guests have cleaned pots and pans on departure properly. A good supply of consumables and cleaning supplies was provided for guests to access during a stay though. The cottage is at the end of a long track but people do still pass by to walk, ride their horses and some farm traffic uses the access roads so you're not totally isolated. The walled courtyard is a good space for dogs that are escape artists as it's 6/7ft high. A peaceful stay with lovely views out over the fields.

    We are responding to your feedback as you are the only guests who have not given The Barn 5 Stars regardless of whether their feedback has been published or not. We set high standards and require The Barn to be immaculate for our guests’ arrival. We regret if it fell below these standards on this one occasion. We were away on a family celebration when you arrived and during your stay and not able to check everything as we usually do. We have since discovered that a substitute cleaner was sent on the day you arrived which may explain some minor cleaning lapses. We believe a small amount of soy sauce and olive oil spray which were out of date were not removed for which we are sorry. We are however unsure of what you mean by “no facilities for dogs, including poo bags”. We have contacted Sykes, as well as others locally who provide holiday accommodation that take dogs, and like us they have no idea what you mean or expect self-catering accommodation to provide by way “facilities for dogs”. The lack of poo bags they all found risible! It is incumbent surely on dog owners to have their own supply and small and very large dogs require very different sizes. Also as you no doubt observed The Barn is surrounded by several thousand acres of countryside; a city dogs’ heaven! There are no safety gates since, apart from being unattractive, many elderly people find them a nuisance and a potential hazard at the bottom of the stairs or on doorways. There are doors that can be closed if necessary and as we say: “well behaved dogs are welcome”, i.e. ones not out of their owners’ control that go jumping on beds etc. or causing unpleasant smells in bedrooms for other guests. Not sure what were the broken fixtures and fittings you worked around as apart from one shower pull not working properly which has now been fixed, we know of none. If we are not told it is sometimes difficult to find these. In The Barn is a ring binder with detailed instructions for nearly all equipment and includes full instructions including the setting and adjustment of heating, temperature and hot water. We would assume most guests have done some research on the IOW before booking but nevertheless, there is a drawer full of local information for visitors to the Island. Property Owner

    It was homely and comfortable and very secure so we didn’t have to worry our dog would escape. It is situated in a breathtaking spot and there is a good variety of beautiful scenic walks right from the door. It was a lovely base from which to explore the Isle of Wight.

  • "A lovely cottage very well equipped with a few exceptions."

    Both upstairs showers appeared to be rather dated with hand held usage. Why not fit overhead monsoon style shower heads. For a full occupancy of six I thing you might struggle with such a very small toaster in the mornings. Great beds, great facilities for washing etc all in all very good and worth the price. Many thanks.

    Richard Thank you for your review and suggestions. We try to take our guest suggestion up where possible. We are in our first full year and still learning. So far all Reviews published and unpublished by guests save one have given 100/100 and that was 94/100. Both upstairs showers have high wall brackets and do not have to be hand held but can be if required eg for children. The two slice toaster has been replaced with a four sliced one. Property Owner
