Wonderful house, wonderful stay, wonderful owners

The house is a great size with all the amenities needed, really appreciated towels being available. We were a group of 9 and there was plenty of room. The outside space is plentiful with garden furniture, the grounds really are beautiful. There is a bus stop a short walk from the house, with buses going to Newport and others. A short drive from Yarmouth. The family run business is clear throughout, the owners went above and beyond for our group and I can’t thank them enough, kindness really shone through. I would recommend in a heartbeat, thank you Jill and family for a great stay at your wonderful property.

Lovely base to explore the island from

We have just returned from 11 nights with our children (8&6) and another family. Jill and Steve were extremely welcoming and the properly spacious with well equipped kitchens, comfortable beds and lovely hot showers. Close to Yarmouth and Clearwater there’s plenty to do locally and it’s straight forward to travel throughout the island. Would definitely recommend.

Secluded, quiet and comfortable

Seven of us, including two wheelchair users, had a lovely long weekend here. The cottage was immaculately clean when we arrived, warm and the south-facing verandah makes the most of any sunshine available. It's a great base for exploring the island. The owners' welcome was equally warm and I wouldn't hesitate to book again. Pet owners, just be aware that they won't be able to run free. The meadow is unfenced with a stream at the bottom.

Orchard Lee

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this very comfortable house with 'green credentials'. It is an attractive building, with a wooden decked terrace around the whole property. It sits in a very large area of meadow, with beautiful views across to the Downs in the distance. Lots of space for children and active adults to take advantage of. The house is very comfortable and well fitted out, and extremely light and airy. It would be an ideal location for a holiday/break at any time of the year. The house is located on a large arable farm in the West Wight, ideally placed for the Lymington/Yarmouth ferry, and at an easy distance from the Cowes ferries. We took our cars and spent many a happy hour exploring the wonderful West Wight, which is truly beautiful. The Island has a very good bus service, and I believe that a lot of visitors use this method of transport, also an ideal spot for bike lovers and of course for walkers. In essence a very attractive, modern house with all the comforts you require for a wonderful holiday, with the added benefit that it can be split in two for two separate families/couples. A great location away from the noise of a town where you can enjoy the countryside and seaside and all it has to offer
