The perfect place for a Family Holiday

Great property, spacious, modern and very comfortable. Well equipped with all mod cons you need. Lots of storage space for clothes in the bedrooms. Great garden for kids who loved playing in it. Overall a brilliant place that we’d definitely go to again.

Making Memories on the IoW!

Lovely big house with nice garden. We have had hot weather so the bifold doors were great to have open and often got a good breeze through the open plan area. Beds were comfortable, rooms were nice. Very well equipped - ice cube maker was fabulous this week! Really nice big dining table to all eat round together. We’ve made great memories together on the island enjoying beaches and garlic farm etc. thanks! There were quite a lot of pet hairs (we don’t have any pets) and cobwebs. Fridge freezer kept moving and then doors wouldn’t open/close easily, bit of a pain (also fridge freezer doors would be better if hinged on the other side). The bedrooms were very hot, a few fans are needed.

Stunning House for Family Get-together

Stunning house, perfect for our group of 9 adults Amazing TV in lounge Great having so many bathrooms! If you like walking as we do, the walk to Sandown is highly recommended. House was quite warm would have been good to be able to control temperature other than by opening windows. Location good and bad. Bad when walking after dark but can’t really improve this. Good as nice and quiet.
Response from VrboOwner on 12 Dec, 2025
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted the house suited your group so well and that you enjoyed the spacious lounge, multiple bathrooms, and the beautiful walk to Sandown. Regarding the temperature, this is a newly built, well-insulated house, so it naturally stays very warm. We appreciate your feedback and will look at how we can make this clearer for future guests. As for the location, we’re glad you enjoyed the peace and quiet, and we understand it can feel a little dark when walking in the evenings in such a rural setting. We hope to welcome you back again soon. The Island Holiday Company

Beautiful cottage

Very clean and well equipped. Overall very happy with this accommodation and would happily stay again. Lights in downstairs bathroom go off too soon when you are in the shower. As there are only Venetian blinds there is some light pollution - not great if you are a light sleeper.

Super House

A lovely house on the edge of the village of Newchurch. Great for large families or friends and ideally located for exploring the island, providing you have a car. The discounted ferry travel through the Island Holiday Company and their great service was a bonus too. Our only issue was with the televisions and WiFi. The WiFi wasn't great in the house and unfortunately the televisions currently rely on this. A simple switch to freeview should hopefully get round this problem.
Response from VrboOwner on 22 May, 2024
Thank you very much for your full stars review, We do appreciate the difficulty you had with the WiFi on this occasion and have shared your suggestion with the owner, We're so glad you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to be able to welcome you to the Island again in the future.

We loved Laurel Cottage

We were three families with four children (age range from 14 months to 13 years) and two dogs. We think that Laurel Cottage is a super house - great for family gatherings. It is very well-equipped, especially the kitchen/utility room. It is clean, tidy and well-maintained. The garden is lovely (would have been even lovelier if the weather had allowed us to use it!). We found that it was a great base - all we wanted to do was within easy reach. I would thoroughly recommend it and would consider another stay in the future. The only thing that worried me slightly were the wooden stairs and the potential to slip - not just the elderly(!) but someone coming downstairs carrying a baby for example.
