Really enjoyed our stay, very comfortable and good location on the island. Cabin nicely appointed and equipped with comfy bed and option of a quirky outdoor bath! Feels secluded in the woods despite proximity of campsite and some road noise but also easy to get places. The dog lay down and refused to leave so definitely gets her vote!

A beautiful residence in a stunning location. Small touches really appreciated e.g Welcome pack and lovely selection of oils etc. to aid cooking. The fire bowl is a particular feature outside and the outside bath a bit of fun. They accept up to 3 dogs too. Highly recommended by us for a peaceful and luxurious holiday. Thank you.

Lovely retreat in a good location for accessing the Island. Very peaceful in the evenings, private, secluded garden with plenty of space for a dog to run around. Well located for island exploring, whether by car, foot or bike. Spacious and comfortable, with all amenities needed to ensure that your stay is the break that you need and want. ThoughtfuRead morel welcome pack on arrival means no need to shop on the way, however, there is a large supermarket 5 minutes drive away should you need anything. Plenty of coutryside walks nearby, bus route 2 minutes walk away. Hide

The cottage is well located only about 20 minutes drive from Fishbourne for the ferry to/ from Portsmouth, which took 40 minutes. There is a large Tesco supermarket and a Garden Centre close by, with good food served at the latter. The cottage was really well presented with a welcome pack of bread, milk etc. Towels for use in the cottage, plus Read morecleaning sprays etc were also provided. There is plenty of outside seating and a fire pit. Sky TV (if this is your thing) is also provided. Directions for the many local walks and to towns/ places of interest etc were given in a book which was very helpful. Nearest pub we walked to is about 2 miles away following bridleways. If you have dogs then you can walk them for miles if you wish to, across unspoilt countryside. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return again. Hide

Absolutely wonderful. This property gives you the freedom from everyday life, and yet is fully equipped for all your needs. The peace and tranquillity of having a bath in the forest is amazing, it certainly regenerated the "Tarzan" in me, which had been missing for years!! We might take it for the whole of next summer!!
