Carisbrooke cottage

We stayed here for six weeks whilst we were having works done to our own house. The cottage was lovely. Very well equipped and very cosy. Lots of space for everyone. Very peaceful especially having the brook running along the back of the cottage. Really enjoyed our stay and didnt really want to leave.

Beautiful thatched cottage

Beautiful home and garden. Everything you needed was there. I would just suggest a bath mat in the shower as it was quite slippery for the children, but that was just a minor thing and easily rectified by putting a small towel in the tray

I do apologise for this. We always supply a bath mat in all the bathrooms. It was obviously an oversight and I will bring it to the attention of our team. Hope you enjoyed your stay and had a good holiday on the island Kind regards. Gill

Lovely cottage in central location on IoW

Clean, very characterful cottage set by a ford in a picturesque lane almost under the shadow of Carisbrooke Castle. (In the other direction is a surprisingly busy road and Newport but this setting is very peaceful). Cottage is well appointed and clean and its genesis as two dwellings (at a guess) gives it a distinctive layout that would be great for smaller children to explore. Would be perfect for hide and seek

Absolutely fantastic week. Perfect cottage in a fantastic location. Literally could not have been better. We loved it! We went with our two children (8 & 11) and my parents so it was great for all ages. Beautiful surroundings and so quiet and peaceful. Nice central location so everything was a 10-25 min drive away! Would definitely stay again and would 100% recommend. Hosts were lovely and great at communications. Beds were great size and super comfy. We didn’t want to leave!

Cottage holiday

The cottage was ideal for us with such a mix of ages. It was extremely well equipped, location more or less in the middle of Isle o Wight was perfect for outings. Quiet, but with a short walk into Carisbrook. Charging stations for electric cars nearby. And we loved the sound of the running water in the little brook behind the cottage. We all loved the cottage with it's pretty front garden and good sized patio area.

Family holiday

The property was exactly as described however, it was very tricky to get to. Really narrow lanes. Only parking for one car. Nowhere to hang washing outside. Couldn’t work out how to use the microwave, no instructions. Nice easy walk to the castle and Carisbrooke.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Aug, 2023
Dear Denise, we are sorry to read that you were disappointed with your stay at the cottage. We would like to respond to a couple of your comments. The cottage is located in a semi rural conservation area. If your gps sent you via the ford, it would be more difficult to arrive. The approach from the castle is with enough for the dustbin lorry to reach us, but it’s not wide enough for 2 way traffic. Re the washing line, there is a washing line that runs the full length of the cottage, approx 20 m at the rear, underneath the covered terrace. There is also a washing line and a tumble drier in the utility room. Re the parking,, we park both of our cars, one small and one medium sized, beside the cottage. We do have additional parking for 3 more cars outside our garage, which is located about 50 yards up the lane. Re the microwave, we are sorry that you were unable to find the instructions on how to use the microwave. There is a folder in the utility room that has all the instructions for our appliances. Our regards.

Thatched cottage

Lovely cottage in a great area the only problem I have with it was in the description of the property more should be said about the stair cases and one bathroom at the top of the stairs ,as we are all in our 70S found it very dangerous and came a away feeling relieved we had not had any accidents .we all agreed we would have coped better with wooden stair rails as opposed to ropes. but enjoyed our stay thank you.

Cannot praise this property enough. Everything we could need was there. Home from home. Plenty of room. Parking is difficult if you have two SUV's on the drive but it can be done.

Perfect Cottage for 3 generations

This was the perfect cottage for us, our daughter and husband and two young grandsons age 3 and 5. The only thing you should be aware of is that the upstairs shower room and wc is not accessible to small children at night as it is accessed from the stairs, the other side of a good stair gate. It was not a problem as there is an door from the twin room to the double room which has an ensuite ( and it's own staircase) the grandsons loved the stream, safely fenced, floating leaf boats and ' fishing' with the nets provided. Warning our satnav wanted us to use the ford, which you can do but it can be difficult to access Carisbrook side if cars are parked too close.

Wonderful Character Home

We have just returned from a wonderful week in this character home. Great central location, short drive to everywhere on the Isle & close to nearly shops. The whole family aged from 13-97 enjoyed the house and its beautiful garden, the house had every you needed and the downstairs bedroom & bathroom was perfect for my grandmother. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend this wonderful character home!

Gin by the stream!!

Wonderful situation and beautiful house. Would have been so much easier had we been told about the parking a few doors away. Three of our party were handicapped and the stairs and access to one of the upstairs bathrooms was not really suitable for us old folk. We did manage and had a good laugh but it was many years ago that two of us had to come downstairs step by step on our bottoms! I think that the property description needs to be more explicit for us elderly ones. We really did enjoy it though! Mike F.

This cottage is a little gem. It is well.presebted and has everything you could possible need.

On this trip 4 generations of people stayed at this little gem of a cottage aged 11months to 87 years. It had everything you could possibly need for all ages, having a down stairs bathroom made it accessible for all. The cottage was never more than 20 minutes away from the sea and attractions so getting around the island was easy. The garden was pretty and we had lovely weather for May so gained a good tan in the deck chairs. The local shop was was well stocked. We didn't try the local restaurants or pubs as one member of the family had allergies however the kitchen was extremely well stocked with cups plates etc. The only recemmondation would be to have a hand rail in the downstairs shower for those with mobility difficulties. We are booking to return in 2020.

'Beautiful, Out of this World' this doesn't do it justice. Wonderful ideal accommodation for a large family with plenty of space for all. Older children liked having wifi. Younger children loved the space. Adults liked the safe aspect & beautiful surroundings. Thank you for sharing your home.

Quaint cottage, great location, comfortable stay.

Stayed at Cresswell cottage with my sons (3 & 5) and my parents. Cottage was nicer and more spacious than I was expecting from the photos. It is an old cottage so some of the floors slope a bit and the doorways and ceilings are low in places but that's the price you pay for a proper country cottage. Inside it was well equipped and although we had a small problem on our first day it was quickly rectified and the rest of our stay went smoothly.
