A lovely clean cottage which had everything we needed including some extras we don't usually expect in a holiday let. The owners were very welcoming and only live next door if there is an issue at all, which there wasn't for us at all. Excellent views of the castle!

Very comfortable cottage with all you could need for your stay. Made to feel very welcome by the owners and the neighbours. We didn’t take a car but got around very well with the bus app. And our bus passes. There are plenty of good places to eat out or full kitchen appliances to cook your own and eat on the decking looking across to Carisbrooke castle . This cottage is perfect for a good holiday.
