Fantastic location
This was our 2nd stay at the stables, the location is great and provides excellent value for money.
Owner next door is very helpful but not intrusive and facilities are great.
Property is spacious and has absolutely everything you could need.
The property has everything you could need for your holiday, is immaculately clean and beautifully situated just by the harbour and a short walking distance from the quiet seafront and beach. Wonderful views onto the Solent.

Our 3rd visit to the stables
Can I say more, it was our 3rd visit to the Stables, just as good as the first time. Friendly but unobtrusive owner who lives next door. Crabbing for the kids/grandkids on the doorstep.

Fantastic stay!
We had the most fantastic stay in The Stables. It had everything we needed and was warm and cosy - vital in January! The location is amazing, right on the edge of the harbour. Lots of birds to see and amazing sunrises. We loved walking across the Causeway to St Helen's Duver. Also up the hill to the village, where there is a pub, grocery store and the most amazing second hand bookshop I have ever visited. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We hope to return.

Perfect location
Another wonderful holiday at the Stables. We have been coming here for several years and hope to do so for many more! The house has everything we need and the location cannot be beaten. Peaceful and perfect for nature lovers. The Vine Inn is a short walk away in the village, serving good food in a traditional pub setting. Warm and comfortable house. Highly recommend.

We did like to be beside the sea
We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this scenic and quietly situated cottage. Everything we needed was provided and we were able to relax in warm comfort perfectly placed to travel around the island. It was delightful to wake each morning to a panorama of sea and wildlife. I was even able to make use of the small back garden to hang out my washing. A real home from home by the sea.

Isle of Wight stay in St Helens
It is always a pleasure stopping on the Isle of Wight, but our stay at The Stables is perfect for us as a couple. The scenary, local walks and access to the rest of the Island. Our hosts David and Sue, our namesakes! are particularly helpful and attentive, with an abundance of local knowledge.
A quiet location, which would appeal to those who like a quiet escape. The area has a nature reserve nearby, with protected Lagoons, harbour facilities with little cafe's and local pubs within reasonable distances. Fishing is also available out of the harbour.
We have already booked again for next year, and can't wait !!!
