All I can say is wow, clean, comfortable, tidy, everything you need is there and the welcome basket was an added bonus, was not expecting that.I would highly recommend grove barn to anyone.The hot tub is the best we’ve ever used, warm and lots of bubbles.Looked to book next year but sadly is already fully booked and I’m not surprised.Thank you for a truly wonderful stay 😀.

I can't recommend Grove Barn enough. Stunning property with everything we needed and more. Check in was easy and Dale was on hand to help with anything needed at a moment notice. Central location so was easy to get to everything on the island, would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at Grove Barn. Fabulous hamper on arrival which was much appreciated. My 2 Golden Retrievers were soon at home especially when Dale found a couple of balls for them. Very well equipped, comfortable beds and good quality linen and towels. Excellent location. I walked the dogs around the Carisbrooke Castle moat and the adjoining fields every day. We enjoyed it so much we have already booked for next year!
