The property is beautiful. It is thoughtfully designed and the decor is very tasteful. The views are stunning and the location is great. A short walk to 2 beaches and lots of other footpaths. Would recommend a visit to Mottistone Manor nearby.

This is our 4th trip to this property. We love it. It is perfect for our needs - roomy, quiet, close to the sea, very clean, very well furnished with everything that one might need (usual kitchen stuff but also a washing machine). Bed extremely comfortable. Host is very easy to contact with queries. I would highly recommend.

Just lovely

A very special place indeed. My husband and I enjoyed a four night stay at George’s cottage. Breathtaking views and walks around the home and lots of enjoyable things to do in the area. We particularly enjoyed mackerel fishing in Yarmouth. Thank you George, we hope to be back!

A peaceful idyll

Almost everything you could need or want in a beautiful cottage, including a giant shoehorn for your walking boots. Views of wildlife and sunsets from the ultra-warm conservatory are wonderful. Several great walks from and to the front door and a bus stop nearby.

Fabulous

We stayed here last year and loved it so much we returned. Such a well thought out property with everything you could need to make it comfortable, and all very high quality. Would highly recommend this cottage and the lovely location. George is always very responsive to minor queries we have had. We’ll be back again!

Totally fabulous

This is a glorious place away from noise and pollution. The sea views are wonderful, fossil hunting and loads of other water activities at the beach across the road. The cottage is beautifully and thoughtfully laid out, with everything you could possibly need. My only reservation in writing a good review as other people might discover this little part of paradise. Owners were great and it’s easy to park and get in. Would highly recommend and we will be booking again soon.

Wonderful cottage with sea views

We loved 4 Coastguard Cottages. Its perfect for a couple wanting a few days R&R. Beautifully furnished and clean, its a real home from home. The view across the south coast of the island is magnificent. We hope to return. The view of the cottage from the outside doesn’t really do it justice. Its an interesting place, obviously with some history. Access is via the narrow and un-made up Coastguards Lane and a car with front, side and back distance sensors will have a panic attack all the way up! You quickly get used to it, but a small car works best!

Lovely holiday cottage

The cottage is in a lovely location with an undisturbed view of the sea. The owners have decorated the cottage to a very high standard and is equipped with everything you could possibly need....home from home. The access lane to the cottage is single track and will probably set off your car sensors if you have them....mind did. The parking space for the cottage is at the far end of the row of 6 cottages behind a chain, not directly outside the cottage. The new space is much bigger and easier to access. Thank you George for allowing us to enjoy your cottage.

Blissful

We stayed mid June when the weather was very hot & dry, the close proximity to the beach made our stay amazing. The house is very comfortable and well equipped. The online pics of the view at the front really don't do it justice. The only pub with in walking distance (The Sun) is mediocre at best. Just one real draw back is the access lane which is little more than a dirt track & the parking space provided is not ideal. Probably OK in a smaller modern car but a bit of a challenge in my 60 year old Rover

Great cottage in a fairly quiet location down a narrow laneway. The Sea view is wonderful. Washing machine is very handy. The backyard line or warm front sunroom are great for drying laundry. Well equipped laundry. Comfy lounge area. The bedrooms and bathrooms are up some narrow steepStairs that have a rope ballustrade. We didn’t take our suitcases upstairs for this reason but plenty of room downstairs. It’s handy having a car parking spot off the road although it’s a bit rough and a little walk. It was a relaxing place to stay.

Beautiful cottage with gorgeous views

4 Coastguards is a beautifully renovated cottage in a stunning location. The cottage was clean and well equipped with everything we needed for a short stay. It’s situated on the quieter side of the island with lots of lovely walks right from the front door. George responded quickly to any queries we had and an added bonus was the lovely lady next door (Jo) who knew all about the history of the area and the cottages. We definitely plan to return!

Should we be giving this place more publicity?

.... it is such a gem that we hope it doesn't get so booked solid that we can't go again! Nothing really to add to earlier glowing reviews - furnishing and maintenance of the highest standard; ease of booking and access arrangements couldn't be simpler; the location is really something. We had good weather, but thunderstorms over the sea at nightfall during the night were something else to behold. It shouldn't need saying - but if you don't like a quiet life, stay away! And don't go if you have a very big car, though, for most, the arrangements will be perefctly ok.
