Summer break with my dog.

The chalet was in a great position within the holiday park. It was the perfect size for my stay and I was very comfortable. It was clean, tidy and well-equipped. I didn’t make use of the outside table and chairs, as the immediate area outside was on a slope. My dog was delighted with the green outside the chalet, and we enjoyed some great walks along the coastal path.

Great stay!

My fiancé and I had a wonderful trip to Sandown in July. The property is fantastic, with comfy beds, lots of living space and a very well equipped kitchen which we found easy to cook in. It's well located for Sandown beach and pier (5 min walk) and bus/train links to other towns so suitable for those not driving like us. The listing says there's two bathrooms but there's actually three (a WC on the ground floor as well as family bathroom and ensuite shower room upstairs). Cons: There were a lot of small red spiders in the outdoor area, which limited our use of the outdoors due to my partner's arachnophobia. The directions were not super clear that the entrance to the property is not on the main road – access is via Fort St opposite the long-stay car park. The property must be quite new as the address is not available on Google Maps etc. (as of time of writing). Overall we had a great stay and would consider staying again if we come back to the Isle of Wight in future :)

The Brew House forms the east wing of the Grade II listed Knighton Farmhouse

A lovely place to stay

Ali gave us a very warm welcome and was really helpful during our stay. The Brew House was comfortable and full of character, peaceful too. We were left a very generous assortment of goodies and especially loved the homemade cake. We would certainly recommend the property and hope to return.

Absolute gem!

We had an amazing stay at Queen Bower Farm Lodge in May half term 2021. We had a very warm welcome from Yasmin including the most delicious carrot cakes on arrival. The lodge is well equipped and comfortable (easily accommodating up to five - with lots of space to unpack). Throughout is beautifully furnished with lots of homely touches. We didn’t spend much time indoors but the lodge is well equipped with a smart TV in each room, WiFi and a selection of board games including IOW Monopoly and Farmopoly! Dogs are welcome with bowls and towels supplied. There is a lovely enclosed garden to the rear of the property, perfect for outside dining. There is also seating to the front of the property, perfect for watching the comings & goings of the farm. The owners dogs are very friendly and will come and visit you here if invited. There is more outside space to enjoy in the adjacent camping field (just a few caravans permitted) perfect for outdoor games, a picnic or a stroll to enjoy the views over to Culver cliffs. The lodge is ideally situated to explore the island although you may just choose to stay nearby; there are numerous walks, bridle paths and cycle paths direct from the farm. We also loved just staying at the lodge and enjoying the outside space. We were invited to meet all of the animals on the farm; horses, Shetland ponies, chickens, geese, orphaned lambs and a rescued piglet! We loved hearing the rescue stories and how Naughty Nash (Shetland pony) got his name. My 12yr old daughter absolutely adored all the animals and the farm’s dogs rather become her pets for the week! There is plenty of wildlife to enjoy in the outdoor space and the nature reserve, a short walk away is a perfect spot to see the island’s red squirrels who are well looked after by the locals and are happy to come up close. Queen Bower Farm Lodge is an absolute gem, perfect for a peaceful and relaxing break or a more active walking / cycling holiday. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We can’t wait to come back 😊
