Great stay for a family

Nicky and Chris' place was perfect for our four day getaway. It was extremely comfortable, and the lovely garden provided a cool and shady wonderland for our 2yr old. The cottage is a short drive to the beach and other attractions, with grocery store quite close. Our hosts were helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this delightful place.

Great little holiday home. Set in amazing gardens which was the highlight. Children loved the two swing/hammocks in the garden.Gave 4 stars and not 5 as the mattresses were not the most comfortable.

Lovely holiday at Isle of Wight

This was our first visit to the Isle.We had a lovely stay at Chris and Nicky. The annex is very comfortable and had everything we needed. They have a beautiful garden where the children played games and we enjoyed a barbecue.The location was excellent to explore many attractions in the Island and very peaceful and quiet. Lovely hosts made us feel very welcome. Thank you very much!

We stay once a year now and I wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else now. Chris and Nicky are so welcoming, their place is so clean, grounds are beautiful and life couldn’t be easier whenever we stay. Thanks again and see you next year!

The Annex at Barrow Cottage is ideally situated for island exploration while being a quiet, secluded location in which to relax. Chris and Nicky have provided everything you'd need for a comfortable stay. The cottage is clean, quiet and the beds are very comfortable. The garden is great for kids to play in and the cottage will sleep 4 (plus a baby in the cot) with ease. We highly recommend this property to any couples or small families looking for an Isle Of Wight base.

Family Trip

Very nice property with a gorgeous garden. The only comment I would make is that it is not gated off from the road, so you need to keep an eye on young children at all times, although I appreciate the accommodation opens directly on to the garden. The location is fantastic. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful.

Lovely!

Well equipped accommodation in a really good location for practically everything. It was nice and clean and the hosts were extremely welcoming, even going as far as giving us some home grown veggies from their garden! They really did make us feel very welcome and very comfortable. They have a lovely garden which they were happy for us to enjoy. We loved the sheep too! This is the perfect base for any holidaying family and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

What a lovely cottage. It was everything we hoped for and more. Lovely and clean, plenty of space inside and a wonderfully big garden for the children to play in.

Excellent host

Stay was very comfortable. The place was Beautiful. Very very kind and friendly. Couldn’t be more accommodating. Helped with one of the kids foot on arrival. Location was great for what we were doing and not far from anywhere on island. Would 100% recommend. My only reason I could not go back is the don’t have dogs to stay. We will be bringing dogs next time. But other than that. Fantastic stay.

A perfect break in the countryside

Very comfortable, modern accomodation. Well laid out. Chris and Nicky were so friendly and made us feel very welcome. Access to large attractive garden was the cherry on the top. Did not see the barn owls but heard them and knew they were there. But did hear skylarks and other birds. House excellently placed in rolling countryside but close to amenities and beaches. Thank you for a lovely stay, would love to return some time soon.

Fantastic location for Cyclists!

Impeccable 2 bedroom studio with kitchen and lounge set back from the road with lovely grounds and wildlife - and even a secure shed to keep the bikes.! Very comfortable long weekend, great communication and just 400 yards from the main cycle routes round the island or a short peddle to the beach at Ventnor or Shanklin. What more could you want!!
