The Perfect Choice

This cottage was clean and well equipped; the patio furniture on the decking was clean and comfortable and had a great view of the estuary. We put our own chairs on the lawn and enjoyed the peaceful, relaxing atmosphere of the garden. There was also the added bonus of a Red Squirrel visiting every day which is not a site we normally get to see anymore. The added bonus of this cottage was the the Summer House with a Jetty, where we spent many hours relaxing and watching the activity on the water.

A little bit of heave

Peaceful location, beautiful views from the house of boats and the tide coming in and going out, red squirrels in garden. Well designed property and extremely tastefully decorated.

Lovely Cottage

A fabulous cottage. We were delighted with the location, and how well equipped the cottage was. The cabin by the creek was lovely and also a surprise as to how well it was equipped. We had planned to use this as a base whilst visiting places around the island, but cut some trips out so we could send more time in the cottage, garden and cabin.

Easy to book and very enjoyable

Everything was super easy, from the ferry booking, to checking in and out. The cottage was great, lots of little touches, fresh flowers, chocolate, coffee etc. Alison at Island Holiday Homes was very helpful and provided recommendations of some nice restaurants activities and walks. I believe it makes a real difference that the booking agent knows the area and is clearly from the island. great stay (despite the weather).

Cottage? More like a bungalow!! Soooo spacious!! Beautiful property. Very clean. You also have the use of the summerhouse to watch the boats and comings and goings. Very relaxing and quiet!

Beautiful location

When red squirrels run around albeit shyly in the lovely grounds what else do you need. Time seems to slow in this lovely part of the IoW measured only be the changing tides. The garden is beautifully presented with a winding path down to the summerhouse and jetty - steep in places for those of us physically challenged but manageable with benches en route. Estuary has enough traffic to keep you interested but not enough to annoy. Cottage is well laid out and comfortably furnished- lovely comfortable bed. No dishwasher but everything else you need. Wi-Fi code wrong in notes but easily available on bt box pullout. If you watch telly then batteries needed for handset. A great stay.

Perfect place for a relaxing break.

Returned home yesterday after a fabulous week in Kipper Cottage (2 couples and a dog). The cottage was everything we expected and more. Extremely well equipped with everything we needed and things we didn’t know we needed. Beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean with fresh flowers on arrival. Plenty of space for 4 adults. The garden was dotted with hidden ornaments, log seats and a bench, much less steep than we had expected. The gem of all of this was undoubtably the chalet ‘at the bottom of the garden’ again fully equipped with delightful touches like the old ship sink. We spent much of our mornings breakfasting and evenings with a bbq and glass watching the activity of local boats and the ferry. Tesco express, takeaways, and a lovely eatery and bar Cibo close by. Thank you Anne for this beautiful holiday rental.

A Tranquil Retreat at Kipper Cottage, Wootton Bridge — With a Few Caveats

Our week at Kipper Cottage in Wootton Bridge was nothing short of idyllic. Nestled beside a peaceful sea inlet, the location is a true gem—perfect for morning coffees with a view and evening strolls to the water’s edge. The surrounding area is quiet and picturesque, offering a restful escape from the bustle of everyday life. The accommodation itself was stunning. Thoughtfully decorated with a coastal charm, the cottage felt both luxurious and homely. Every detail—from the cozy furnishings to the well-equipped kitchen—spoke of comfort and care. The garden house was an unexpected delight, providing a serene spot to read, relax, or simply soak in the tranquility of the setting. However, our experience was marred by disappointing customer service from Island Holiday Homes. Despite the cottage being advertised as dog-friendly, we were charged an additional £30 for dog hair found after our stay—a frustrating and unexpected fee. To add to this, our first full day was disrupted by a washing machine engineer who arrived late, followed by a gardener trimming hedges for half the day later in the week. These interruptions detracted from the peaceful experience we had hoped for. In summary, Kipper Cottage is a beautiful haven in an exceptional location, perfect for a restful getaway. But be aware that the management company may not match the quality of the accommodation itself.

What a find!

A beautiful place to stay with views over the estuary, and down the garden a summer house where you can relax away from it all. This is certainly the best accommodation we have stayed in, and we’ve been to a lot! Super comfortable bed and all mod cons, what else is there to need in a perfect week in April? We will certainly be back but it’s very popular so best to book early!

Lovely little hideaway

We had a wonderful week here and found it a perfect base for exploring the whole island. The cottage itself was so pretty and had almost everything we could have wanted (the lack of dishwasher was a minor point but we knew before we booked so was not an issue). We couldn't find points in either bathroom for charging electric toothbrushes - so guests may need to bring an adaptor or a manual brush for their stay - again not a big problem. The gardens are lovely to wander through and down to the summer house which gives a superb view over the water and is a tranquil spot to sit. Again, it is well equipped to save keep going back to the cottage - a nice touch! Once the main gate was closed we found the whole property to be completely dog friendly and our two small terriers thoroughly enjoyed exploring the outside space. The cottage is tucked away down a quiet, private lane and it is hard to believe that you are only about 10 minutes drive from the ferry - such a perfect location and beautiful setting. We would have no hesitation in recommending Kipper Cottage to anyone and may well be back again ourselves...

What an amazing location

We stayed at Kipper Cottage for a week in August and it lived up to expectation. Wonderfully secluded location whilst still being close to the local shops and only a stone's throw from the Ferry. Every comfort provided even down to the welcome tea facilities which were well received! The best bit of the house was of course the summerhouse by the creek and we ate there every night. On the days the weather was good we were able to enjoy fishing and crabbing, though had more success with the crabs! The garden is beautiful but steep when walking back up after an evening by the creek. Good parking area outside the house. Just a five minute walk to the secluded cove where we were able to swim and walk the dogs. All in all a really relaxing holiday and we hope to return again.

first week away during covid

an excellent cottage in a quiet picturesque location. the lack on close shopping and good level takeaways is the reason for my score of 4. The reason for my 4 score on condition was that the cottage key code system box did not work when we got there and had to be replaced. The 4 on Comfort is down to the fact that there were no instruction of how to work the basic night stores heating system switches or dials or the cooker hob or microwave. There were numerous instruction book, however many applied to devices that were not installed.

Secret hideaway for the isle

A perfect hideaway for the Isle of Wight. Perfect location and views. Having your own jetty and beach hut to go fishing/crabbing was magical for the family. So dog friendly with enclosed garden. Would stay again. Have to provide own baby cot and high chair but was not a problem for us.
