Beautiful cottage

The place is so quite and peaceful. Very secluded place. We went there for our honeymoon night and the communication with the owner was amazing and Kim was so quick to respond to my messages. Kim made our stay special. I would recommend this place to anyone who’s looking to go away and looking for privacy. Paz

We will come back for sure.

Delightful Country Stay

We enjoyed the location & cosiness of the cottage. It was like being in the country yet close to Cowes where the cafes, pubs, restaurants & shops were located. For feedback to the owners: the hot water system worked for the first night but on the second night as the water did not heat up. Hence we had somewhat cool showers. Otherwise, a great stay. Thank you.

Perfect spot for wandering, privacy and nature

We were in dire need of complete down time and Frog Cottage was perfect for a whole lot of sitting and sleeping and gentle exercise and bird watching. The space was lovely and clean and it was only our fault that we didn't read about amenities properly so we took lots of food that wasn't suitable for bbqing or microwave. The internet was great but that was perfect for our mission of detaching and stepping off the world.

Tiny house stay

I felt like we were living in a caravan it was that small and strange design. To access the bedroom you had to enter through the veranda. There were barely any cooking facilities except a bbq. The lighting was very poor with white lights. The pond had green algae and looked neglected. It was noisy from the traffic on the main road. We were quite disappointed especially when the ratings were high. Definitely won’t book again.

Great relaxing stay in this quiet and cozy cottage (with a very comfy bed). Nestled in a peaceful garden setting with lots of birds visiting. Conveniently located to explore the island or just chill. It is a short walk down the road to the beach and Cowes about 10-15 minute drive. There is great takeaway fish and chips from the Cowes General Store about 10 minute drive (not actually a general store - it just does takeaway) and it also does great burgers.

A very comfy cottage set in a rustic and natural settjng

Loved it. Unusual that you had to walk outside from living room to bedroom. Gravel path from car park area to cottage poorly lit at night. Rooms very cosy and comfortable. We were concerned one night when the power went off for some time..could be a safety issue for us oldies ! Communication with host…excellent…she was most accommodating.

Relaxing and Private Bush Setting, close to beach

Lovely bush setting, very peaceful, private and relaxing. The bed was comfortable and plenty of bedding, towels etc which was great. 7 min walk to the beach! And a 2 min walk to the general store are both very convenient. I was also grateful for the WiFi. Heard some possums on the roof and the bird life is lovely too. You feel like you're in the birds world, which is lovely! It would be great if the kitchenette/ cleaning supplies were better equipped. This area would be my only complaint. There were no BBQ wipes or anything to clean BBQ with. I did have some wipes, so was able to clean the best I could. The microwave wasn't working.There were no sponges or dish cloths, so used 1 of the teatowels and dish soap to clean dishes. No dish rack to dry dishes, so I had to dry the bench quite a few times from the excess water. No bin liners, so used an empty plastic bag we had. A tissue box and paper towel would be ideal too. Otherwise a lovely stay. Overall, though, happy with the stay.
