A charming home in a beautiful location. Pet friendly, perfectly situated for walks, beach and to explore local attractions. A lovely home. Thank you for the lovely stay. We thoroughly appreciated it!
We had a truly perfect Christmastime. From the very beginning, Susie was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and responsive, making everything feel easy and stress-free. The cottage itself was warm, cozy, and beautifully well appointed, with everything we could possibly need for a comfortable stay.What really made it extra special were the thoughtful Christmas touches — festive decorations that made the cottage feel magical, along with toys and games that were a huge hit and added to the sense of home. It felt like arriving somewhere that had been carefully prepared with genuine thought and care. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommended for a relaxing, memorable getaway — especially at Christmas.

Here’s a review you can use:
"We had a fantastic stay at this lovely property. The location was perfect, and the property had everything we needed. Our grandchildren loved the safe, enclosed garden, and we all enjoyed exploring the local beaches. We would definitely recommend this property to others."
We absolutely loved our summer holiday in this beautiful, spacious, bright, perfectly equipped cottage. Fantastic location close to two beaches (Brooks 5 minutes walk, breathtaking Compton Bay 15 mins walk or couple of minutes drive, best ice-cream, great for surfing/swimming/sunbathing or fossil hunting).
The house is amazing, very large, comfortable and in a very quiet area. We thought our home in London was in the quiet area, but we were wrong! The nights in Susie's cottage gave us and our two children really great rest and lots of energy for our daily walks which there are plenty around, and you can indeed find fossils! Our daughter found shark's tooth.
And if there is rain (we only had it one day), there are many boardgames in the cottage, we were never bored and loved playing Scrabble in the evening.
Everything was perfect! I miss the view of the sea from the master bedroom's balcony...
It was our first holiday on the IOW, but we will definitely come back!
Thank you Susie.

Thank you Marina for great review. We are delighted you enjoyed our cottage as much as our family love it. A very special location. Thank you too for leaving it so clean & tidy. Best wishes Susie
Een heerlijk en gezellig vakantiehuis, fijne ruime woonkamer, ruime keuken en een inrichting waardoor je je gelijk thuis voelt! Rustige omgeving, zeer geschikt om te fietsen (te huur in Yarmouth) en om te wandelen.
Beautiful house but if you are not a walker you would need a car to get about. Lovely location, great garden we all loved it and would definitely go back.
We had a fab time at this gorgeous property in a great location near the most beautiful beach, highly recommended
