The cottage is nicely situated in a little village just outside Ventnor that has everything you need. It is a perfect place to explore all of the Isle of Wight though there is no walkable beach. The cottage has everything you need including plenty of kitchen stuff and enough loo roll! It was lovely and cool on really hot days but had enough space for a large family to spread and plenty of fires if you weren’t there in summer. Lots of books and games too. Overall we had a great time at the cottage and would happily go back to expire more places!

Lovely stay in Sandstones very quiet and peaceful. Welcome basket delightful as well as beautiful local butter and even milk waiting in the fridge. Cottage very spacious. The beds were particularly comfortable - I would say the best away from home bed I have ever known. The linen and towels were superb 5** in fact. Fantastic showers. Kitchen equipment was excellent with everything one needed. Even laundry detergent available if required. Hot tub was very popular and maintained on a daily basis. Very good local pub - White Lion - above average pub food and local grocery store was well stocked. All in all a smashing place which I have no hesitation in recommending especially for a family or friends get together. Also owner very helpful if needed.
