Very comfortable and homely base for days out to the islands attractions. Welcoming and well equipped. Could do with a new, larger TV for the rainy days, but that didn't retract from the overall satisfaction. Definitely book again one day.

The perfect definition of a country holiday cottage. Cosy and clean with a traditional look, but including all mod cons. The summerhouse was handy for reading and relaxing on the odd rainy day, and the outside seating areas were generous. Great views across the Solent too.

We arrived at the cottage a little frazzled from a difficult journey and immediately felt so much better for the warmth of the welcome. It provided everything we had hoped for and much more besides. The last day of May, cold and cloudy with a brisk northerly wind. We open the door to a warm, cosy room, flowers on the window sill, cake, butter, milkRead more, wine, bread. Within minutes we felt totally at home. It is clear that the owners love the place themselves and want their guests to enjoy it too. Hide
