The Coach House

Great cottage, we have stayed before, and perfect location for IOW Steam Railway.

Friendly owners on site had there been any problems. Good to have darts and table tennis, so my brother and I could relive our youth! Cottage was clean and comfortable and well equipped with every facility that we wanted.

We had a fabulous time, Thank you.

The property was top notch - spotless, comfortable, plenty of space, seats, crockery, cutlery, pots, pans etc. The blankets were a lovely touch and the outside space was so relaxing. It was dead easy to find with your instructions and easy to check in and outI. would definitely book again.

A lovely big barn conversion, living room very comfortable, dining area pleasant although the two chairs with arms were a bit rickety, the kitchen also had a nice big table.

The wine, milk & dog treats from the owners was a nice touch. The downside was the drainage in the downstairs shower was not upto draining the water away quickly enough, therefore the water was going over onto the bathroom floor. Also upstairs there were many mosquitoes buzzing around at night unfortunately they seemed to like me. There was an anti bug repellent thing in both bedrooms but they didn’t work.

Our party of threeI stayed for a very sunny 5 days.

The ground floor bedroom and shower were ideal for my sister because of some mobility issues. Very specious, cosy property in a pretty and quiet setting. The owners Peter and Ann were very welcoming and kind when we had a problem with our car. We will stay again

Lovely cottage, ideally situated, very clean and comfy, downstairs bed and bath perfect for my mum with limited mobility.

Worth noting that garden is not direct access and not enclosed but you can close off the courtyard (which has a patio area) which makes it safe for kids and dogs. Really enjoyed our stay, thanks.

We stayed at this property for 4 nights with family of 4.

Communication was great with owner. The owner provided special link to book a ferry which got me some discount. The property is at a good quiet location. House is big enough for our group size. Overall we had a good time. On a downside, upstairs bathroom is bath only with low ceiling so we could not use it. Everyone used the en-suit shower room which was getting flooded every 2-3 minutes so we needed to stop shower to clear the water from shower tray. In kitchen non stick cooking pans need replacing.

We had a lovely stay at The Coach House.

The house was warm, spacious and comfortable and in a perfect location for exploring the island. I loved watching the red squirrel breakfasting on the nuts in the mornings. We will definitely be back.

Thank you for your excellent accommodation and your personal attention to help us settle in on our arrival.

Our only concern was that the ensuite shower had a tendency to flood onto the bathroom floor a little - we appreciate the extra towels you left but wondered if it was a little blocked with hair maybe? It was only a very small hiccup in what was an amazing experience - so many lovely trips that were so easy to get to from your farm. Thanks for a great break !!

This is our second time here at the coach house.

This time for a long weekend for my mums birthday. It has been so nice to spend more time at the property relaxing and enjoying the views. The coach house is nice and cosy for us as a family to spend time together and we have made so more special memories.

Welcoming and friendly as the hosts are, we feel that the 4.

8 rating is far too high. We base our feedback on the many self catering cottages, both with Sykes and other companies, that we have stayed at. Kitchen….dirty bowls in cupboard, dirty windows and well cobwebbed. Lounge…. Dirty windows, cobwebs, missing slat on blinds, cobwebs on spiral staircase. Really dirty and stained rugs in lounge and both larger bedrooms. Downstairs bathroom……Rusty and dirty towel rail, dirty old laundry basket. Shower soaks bathroom floor even with the towels provided on floor to soak it up. Upstairs bathroom, toilet seat broken on arrival. This was replaced by a nice new seat

Absolutely lovely accommodation and views, really enjoyed our short visit .

We had a great stay at the Coach House.

The hosts were really helpful and responsive - the directions provided were excellent. The property is lovely - very spacious, comfortable and well equipped. There were three of us, but it would comfortably accommodate six. It’s a quiet location but not far from attractions like Osborne House and the Steam Railway is very close by. We didn’t use it, but the barn with table tennis etc would be great for families. It was lovely to see a variety of birds and red squirrels in the garden! We would recommend the Coach House!

I can only describe this accommodation as wonderful, very spacious and comfortable, peacefully set in lovely surroundings, the hosts were very welcoming and helpful, will definitely stay again

The location was absolutely lovely.

The cottage was both stylish and cozy and immaculately clean. It provided a much-needed escape for our daughter and grand-daughters, who all loved it and also enjoyed improving their piano playing skills (mainly chopsticks!) and also playing table tennis and darts in the outside space. I would absolutely recommend this beautiful cottage to everyone and i will definitely be booking it again.

Wonderful property situated in a beautiful setting, yet only minutes from pub/restaurant, local shops and beaches.

Lots of space and ideal for families or friends sharing a quiet space.

Lovely property, very helpful host especially sorting out ferry discount

We really enjoyed our peaceful week in the Coach House, it went too soon!

! Peter and Ann have a lovely countryside location with a truly comfortable home from home feeling. The games barn was great and table tennis table super fun. The kitchen had everything you could need and lounge / dining was very spacious and relaxing. The piano was a hit with our son too.... Thanks for everything Barrie and Ann

This cottage is a gem !

Beautiful cottage with extras thought of , suited our family where we have grandparents daughter and grandchildren in the same house. Tomatoes and runner beans from the owners were very welcome ! We will definitely return when we come back to this area!

It was everything it said it would be and more.

Excellent location convenient for visiting all of the islands attractions.

Lovely property ,with thoughtful touches throughout.

The barbecue area and the games room was a real bonus. The owners were very good when dealing with the shower which had broken down, offering us alternative arrangements. The wine and chocolates were gratefully received.

Really enjoyed our stay.

The property was excellent.

Peaceful, quiet and safe and conveniently situated for visits to the rest of the island.

We were delighted to watch a red squirrel feeding from the squirrel feeder in your garden. Wonderful!

Fantastic property, exactly as described in a great location for everything on the East side of the island.

The place was comfortable and easy to feel at home and the perfect balance between being private but having a good proximity to places of interest and convenience. The owners were polite and helpful and all the information needed on the facilities of the cottage were provided.

A nice place to stay, just the two of us, so lots of space for a relaxing break.

Lovely place to stay, very comfortable sofas and well-equipped kitchen.

Location is excellent with nice garden and 'games barn'. Just a few minutes up the road is a lovely dog walking route as well with a small parking area.

A delightful autumnal break on the Isle of Wight.

Travelled all over the island and visited most of the main attractions. Property very comfortable, well equipped and spotless.

The house was very spacious.

We enjoyed the grand piano, and the games barn. Had good weather most days, so managed to get out and do some nice walks. One of us swam every day. Also after a bit of hunting saw a red squirrel!

Loverly big converted barn in quiet position with modern facilities.

Owners Pete & Ann who live on site were very friendly and informative. Steam railway fans will love the regular sound of the iow steam railway puffing away on the close by line and centre. A very relaxing holiday home.

Beautiful coach house.

Had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The grand piano was a bonus and the children loved playing on it. We were very well looked after and would happily stay again. Would also recommend to others

We stayed in this superb holiday let in August ‘22.

What can I say? We were NOT disappointed! Everything was as you would expect, extremely well equipped with almost everything you can imagine you would need and it was spotlessly clean. We had a very warm welcome and the owners were on hand for help and advice about the area and the ample facilities. Ann was so friendly and we had the privilege of meeting her grandchildren who played nicely with our granddaughter which was an added bonus. Despite being there during a heatwave, the house was extremely comfortable and remained cool downstairs, where we slept, (although fitfully because of the twanging bed mattress) It was considerably hotter upstairs though but there is nothing you can do about that although a fan would have helped. If you are ‘touristing’ during your stay we can highly recommend the Steam Train and Birds of Prey centre which is within walking distance. We had a super day there with far more to do than we were expecting and they had lots of shady areas to escape the heat. The loos were spotless too! We would also highly recommend The White Hart, a mile away, for dinner! It was excellent! We would suggest you book though as it is VERY popular. All in all, we had a terrific week and would thoroughly recommend. If we want to return to the Isle of White in the future we will certainly be back! Thank you!

The Coach House is situated in a quiet village with good access to the island if you have transport.

Our experience was a mixed bag of good and not so good. The on-site owners are very friendly. The grounds are spacious and attract a variety of wildlife. Take some peanuts for the feeders just outside the kitchen window and you will see red squirrels, great spotted and green woodpeckers, great and blue tits, jays and other garden birds. The living area and kitchen are spacious and comfortable and well equipped. The toilets use mascerators and feed into a septic tank. A power cut caused a problem with the mascerator for a short time. The downstairs walk in shower is not well designed and the owners provide towels to roll up to prevent leaks onto the bathroom floor. Access to the upstairs is via an ornate metal spiral staircase - 12 steps. It is certainly not suitable for young children, the infirm or those with mobility difficulties. The low eaves in the roof are not ideal for moving around in the bedrooms and bathroom. The most serious issue however is the lack of ventilation and heat retention upstairs. Our weather was warm but not unusually so. The room temperature was unbearable, particularly in the twin room. We decided to purchase a room fan which helped at night. These should be provided by the owners as a matter of urgency. The property is not the cleanest we have stayed in but overall our holiday was excellent and there are many good places to eat nearby.

Lovely comfortable cottage.

Lots to do nearby as long as you have a car. Owners are on site and quickly resolved issue with shower, but left to your own devices otherwise. Would gladly stay again.

Perfect for the IoW steam railway and set in a quiet courtyard with plenty of open space nearby.

Peter has a duck pond where the kids can feed them and also keeps the birds well fed. We were fortunate enough to see a red squirrel and woodpecker during our stay. The accommodation was perfect for our family stay and we made good use of the nearby walks. Robin Hill is 5 minutes down the road and the Sloop Inn about a 40 minute walk avoiding roads. We were only staying for a week but will be back because we couldn't fit everything in. There are some great places to places to eat including DaVinci in Newport that was really accommodating with the kids, the DairyMans Daughter at Arreton Barns, The BlueBells at Bridlesford for breakfast (make sure you book) and some of the best fish and chips from Tony's in Ryde. Avoid The Fishbourne though, it was by far the worst meal and service we have had in a long time that is exorbitantly priced for the quality we experienced on our visit where we had to return two of the main courses and were made to feel very unwelcome bringing children without so much as an apology for poor quality food. Overall our holiday was great and the games room was a real boon for us to unwind after our days out.

Lovely stay in an excellent property, with friendly owners onsite as well.

Good location three hundred yards from IOW Steam Railway Havenstreet station, and convenient for off road walking. Resident red squirrels also entertained us from the kitchen window, along with woodpeckers and other birds.

A wonderful cottage, spotlessly clean with absolutely everything you need.

The red squirrels and woodpeckers were lovely to watch and provided hours of entertainment . We had fresh farm eggs left on the doorstep and the dog loved the garden to run about in. A brilliant place for a relaxing stay, we would thoroughly recommend it.

Absolutely beautiful, there is nothing wrong with it, it has a home from home feeling.

We had a very comfortable enjoyable stay everything was really good.

Owners were very nice and helpful .we would definitely like to return soon

This was a lovely property in a convenient location which was well equipped and very comfortable.

Thank you, we really enjoyed our visit to the Isle of Wight.

Really lovely quiet relaxing location with of plenty of options for dog walking.

Clean and spacious house that more than met out expectations.

twin bedroom had loads of flies in it , floor, beds, door , my daughter had to sleep on the sofa for the wkend .

The accommodation is set in an idyllic and peaceful location.

Would highly recommend this as a place to stay. There is a grand piano in he main lounge/diner..sadly neither of us played..... Kitchen is very well equipped with cooking utensils. The accommodation is really comfortable and like being home from home. We would definitely return. Thank you Ann and Peter for making our holiday special and thank the chickens for the eggs...after a long journey back MaMac and Steve had scrambled egg and toast for dinner...also thank Peter and telephone call to Anne to help with the washing machine...it was much appreciated and your daughter for loaning me so washing detergent.,...

The Coach House is a wonderful place to stay, peaceful, spacious comfortable and well equipped.

We had a most enjoyable holiday on the Isle of Wight in this lovely property.

Lovely cottage, lovely owners great holiday.

We will be back.

The cottage is lovely and very cosy.

Plenty of cooking equipment. The owners were very helpful and friendly.

Ann and Peter are perfect hosts.

A hamper with goodies awaited our arrival The accommodation is set in an idyllic and peaceful location. Lovely walks. Would highly recommend this as a place to stay. Also there is a grand piano which my daughter and I had great enjoyment playing. Kitchen is very well equipped with cooking utensils and even a slow cooker. The accommodation is really comfortable and like being home from home. The washing machine and tumble dryer are not located in the accommodation but this is only a minor detail and didn't worry us at all. We would definitely return. Thank you Ann and Peter for making our holiday special

This was the 6th visit to the island at varying locations and turned out to be by far the most enjoyable,relaxing and comfortable stay we have had, the coach house had everything you could possibly need, Peter and Ann made us very welcome(thankyou for wine,biscuits and dog treats).

.. Strongly recommended and will definitely stay at the coach house on our next visit, perfect perfect

The Coach House was a fantastic property and we had a wonderful stay on the Isle of Wight.

The property is located in a great location; it's easy to get to almost anywhere on the island in just a short period of time, but it's far enough away from the hustle and bustle to provide a quiet space that is perfect for families. The coach house itself is clean and spacious and very well laid out for families, with two bathrooms and plenty of space. We particularly liked the outdoor barn with games area as this kept our kids entertained, even in wet weather - they were also very entertained by the resident cat, nearby horses and chickens. The owners could not have been more accommodating or welcoming, bringing us over freshly grown tomatoes from their garden and eggs freshly laid by their hens. Nothing was too much trouble. The cottage is pretty much perfect but the only room for improvement is the bed in the downstairs bedroom could be a more quieter and more comfortable, and also the TV often failed to pick up a signal and so we only had iPlayer. That said, I'm sure many people go on holiday to get away from such distractions (but just a note if you have kids and need to distract them!). From the cottage there are lots of nice walks and it's easy to drive a short distance to Ryde, Sandown or other places on the coast. We didn't our dog this time, but it's a very pet friendly property (although you'd probably want to keep a dog on the lead in the farm itself due to the cat/chickens!). We will definitely be returning here when we next return to the Isle of Wight. We had a wonderful stay and the location is great. We had friends staying at the same time who paid more than three times as much as we did, but our accommodation was better!

We really enjoyed our lovely week in The Coach House.

Very helpful and friendly owners, a beautifully decorated and very peaceful and relaxing property that was perfectly located fur exploring the island. Only minor issue was the downstairs bedroom bed was very squeaky making a noise every time you moved in the night. The grand piano was a bonus for our music student daughter. Would highly recommend a stay here!

great family holiday.

cottage had everything we could want . good location to explore the island.

Lovely house real effort made in these difficult times with hand sanitisers and cleaning etc.

The games room a great hit with darts, table tennis and football. Lovely walks to be had and the children loved feeding the horses Lovely peaceful location but so central Robin Hill 5 minute drive, Ryde 10 minutes Blackgang 25mins. The village of Wotton Bridge 5 minute drive has tesco express and takeaways. If you want to avoid supermarket at this time we had a Morrisons delivery to The Coach House. Would happily stay again.

Fantastic holiday cottage, very well equipped and in a great location to explore the island

Great place to stay.

Very friendly owners and they immediately helped out when we had a problem with one of the doors, which was sorted out in moments. Would highly recommend the property, close to Fishbourne ferry, and excellent location to any part of the Isle of Wight.

Lovely Setting, ideal for the dog , had a problem with a brand new hob but the landlord quickly sorted it out.

Easy to drive to places but lovely and quiet in the evenings when you want to relax. Went with my father and Mother who had the lovely downstairs bedroom with the ensuite while we had upstairs , enjoyed our stay very much!

Beautiful coach house.

Location a little remote but an ideal holiday home for a quiet family break.

Perfect!

One of the best cottages we have had. Thank you.

The Coach House is not only a beautifull place to stay but the location worked really well for us.

The house has a true wow factor and was a treat to stay in. The owners were lovely and friendly and provided everything you would need and some lovely extra touches. We were with our 3 children and our dog, the space in the house was perfect. The surrounding gardens were safe and perfect for nosey children! They loved visiting the horses, chatting to the chickens and the resident cat was a hit with our youngest daughter. We will definitely be returning!

Lovely place to stay, my children loved the animals and also the table tennis, badminton etc.

Very clean facilities, friendly family/owners, great location, highly recommend.

The opportunity for children to roam around the farmyard and adjoining fields was a bonus.

The children also liked ‘talking’ to the horses and the Hens that habitually turned up at mealtimes in the courtyard. An electric type shower in the upper bathroom would be a good idea , but not essential.

The cottage was lovely and had a real wow factor when we walked in.

Everything we needed had be thought of and provided (even essentials for our dog!) Would recommend the cottage to anyone but it’s a base and you need to be willing and able to drive to everything.
