I cant recommend this cottage in a lovely part of the Isle of Wight too highly. Its beautifully presented, and the owners made it very welcoming with lovely flowers and a freshly baked cake. As we visited in May it was great to have the conservatory and the garden to enjoy the sun. Our dogs loved the field across the road for a good run.
