Need a parasol for the garden , although was lovely , it wasn't that safe for our dog because it wasn't fenced off , the carpet on the stairs was unsafe.

If you are very elderly the stairs could be a bit steep to get up and with the bathroom downstairs that again meant a tricky negotiation if you needed to get up for the toilet at night However, overall a lovely quiet cottage ideal for a relaxing holiday and only 2 miles from Shanklin, our favourite place on the island.

Great comfortable cottage. We had a dog and crawling baby- didn't feel on edge - its lived in and suitable for a proper family holiday . Fabulous big garden. Amazing walks through Borthwood Copse on the doorstep. We briefly met the owners who occasionally stay next door. They were lovely .

A lovely cottage in a perfect location and it was spotlessly clean. We used the location for a short cycling break and found the location perfect. Tucked away and very private, we were not looked over. We saw Red Squirrels for the first time on the isle of wight even though we visit often. One of them seems very interested in the garden bird feederRead more. The rear porch is ideal for storing clean bikes. Hide
