The cottage was lovely for a get away from everything. There was poor wi-fi and terrible phone signal, which is ideal if you just want a break. Sadly, our accommodation hadn't been cleaned on arrival so this made contact very tricky. Apologies were made and we were allowed to return to the property 1.5hrs later, which wasn't ideal as it was a propeRead morerty in the middle of nowhere and we had had a LONG day of travelling. That said, the accommodation was warm and cosy, lots of lovely local walks. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk - thank you for review. We have spoken to the owner and the issues have been resolved.

Beautiful little cottage, great location close to Shanklin & Sandown. Well equipped with almost everything youd need. Small court yard for sitting out, public footpath across the road where we took our dogs for nice walks through the fields. Was a great find and we would recommend to others

We had a fabulous holiday. The cottage has everything need. The kitchen is well equipped, beds are really comfy. The hand held shower was fine and easy to use. We met some of the neighbours who where very friendly. We also used a taxi on two occasions into Shanklin Old Village, so I can recommend Acabs.

Really nice cottage, very much enjoyed the stay, well equipped kitchen, sofa and tables comfortable for family to socialise, bedrooms a good size with space for clothes.. Quiet location, we walked via the corn field opposite to town and beach, ok if you like a walk and like to explore public foot path routes, but might be more likely to drive to plRead moreaces. Didnt use any TVs. Outside was enclosed, so good for the dog to be able to access, and had a large rattan table and chairs set. Hide

A very quaint and comfortable cottage in a very rural location. Dog owners would welcome information about where to safely walk dogs from the property as no pathway alongside road and wanted to avoid the muddy footpaths
