Garstons Barn

We had a fabulous stay at Garstons Barn.

Perfect location, perfect layout, very comfortable beds, well equipped, even blankets for our dog! Really nice to have three bathrooms so no one is waiting for anyone else, all are fabulously decorated too! Patio area really nice and the stretch of grass outside was great too. Lovely walks near to the barn so ideal for our dog. Will return! Great communication with the owner which is always a bonus.

A lovely place located in a beautiful setting that was very peaceful and with great views across the fields.

The kitchen was well equipped and had a separate handy utility area. We particularly enjoyed looking at the quirky wallpaper in each of the bathrooms such a nice feature. The beds were comfortable and plenty of storage in the bedrooms. The owner had left plenty of information & recommendations about the area and her father contacted us on our arrival offering assistance if required. Very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. We would definitely recommend a stay here it’s a very good base to visit the whole island.

A superbly presented property in a fantastic location, right at the heart of the island with plenty of varied walks from the moment you step out of the gate.

Cannot wait to return!

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

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).

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.

Lovely stone barn conversion.

Courtyard outside space good. Living space good. Kitchen good. Bedrooms, Bathrooms/showers good. The whole place is amazing! The location is fantastic! Very nice, local walks. Short drive back to Newport. We would love to come again.

A great place to stay,beautiful barn and peaceful surroundings.

We found it a great place to stay as central to the island so great for any particular place to visit .

We really enjoyed our two weeks Garstons Barn and hope to return again in the future.

The location was ideal as central to the island and very peaceful. The barn was equipped to a high standard and the cleanliness of every thing was excellent. The owner was very helpful when advice required

Lovely holiday home comfortable well furnished nice secluded garden and great views

We enjoyed our stay at Garston‘s Barn very much.

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.

Lovely property in a superb location at the end of a long track with fabulous countryside views.

Just what we were looking for! We have visited the Island many times over the years and there is always something new to do.

Amazing place.

We enjoyed it very much and we definitely would book this place again.

Accommodation was great and as advertised.

It was extremely clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay.

Beautiful property decorated to a high standard with everything you could want on holiday.

Particularly loved the wallpaper in the bathrooms! We definitely hope to return to the Isle of Wight to this lovely house. Perfect location for travelling all over the island.

This barn is situated in stunning,peaceful surroundings, it was really comfortable, with everything needed for a comfortable stay.

it was very nice couldn't have asked for more

A wonderful barn conversion with everything you could need for a weeks holiday.

Wonderful position in the countryside, but within easy driving distance of shops/pubs etc. we have already booked a return visit for next year.

Lovely comfortable stay in a beautiful setting.

We had everything we needed, and would recommend to others.

Lovely short break at Garstons Barn, well equipped, fantastic central location with fantastic views and walks, and great hosts too.
