Charming property, on the edge of the sloping woods, with very quiet, very red, red squirrel neighbours. The pathway next to the house leads to walks this way and that in the hills and woods above Godshill church. Well appointed, well prepared, clean and well-equipped house. Good parking and sleeping/bathroom and lounge/kitchen facilities are each Read morewell-integrated on the two floors, and the 'bedroom downstairs' solution works well. All presented in tidy green tree-lined farm avenue. Hide

Nice countryside location, walking trail on doorstep. Dog had a great time. Well equipped kitchen. Lounge seating is old and not very comfortable. Pillows like pancakes. Pack extra loo roll and spare bin bag. Also adapter for 3 pin socket to charge electric tooth brush.

Quiet but basic for the price charged. The bed was comfy but the cottage was cold. Godshill was lovely and there was a wonderful bus service but, if you stay in this cottage and dont walk a car is essential.

Excellent location with direct access to network of footpaths & bridleways . Good local pubs for food & drink within 15/20 minutes walk. .
