Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently mention the cleanliness of the cottage, describing it as well maintained and immaculately clean, which indicates a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.
The property's location is frequently praised for its peaceful countryside setting, proximity to Carisbrooke Castle, and central position on the Isle of Wight, making it an ideal base for exploring the island.
Guests find the cottage comfortable and cosy, with special mentions of the comfortable beds and the relaxing hot tub. The property is described as a 'home from home', suggesting a high level of comfort.
The facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and a hot tub, are generally praised. However, there is a mention of a temperamental shower thermostat, which suggests a slight deduction for maintenance issues.
Many reviews express gratitude for the thoughtful gestures, such as welcome gifts of local eggs and milk, though it's important to note that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
This one-of-a-kind characterful coach house rests close to Carisbrooke Castle and the main house is where JMW Turner is believed to have painted a landscape of the notable building. The charming exterior sets a scene for the cottage upon arrival and this continues as you wander inside. A cobbled courtyard leads into the kitchen where you will be impressed by the spacious layout, white units, and the country feel that is perfect for a home-cooked meal with your loved ones. The lounge lies adjacent to this room, centred by a large sofa, which provides a comfortable place to relax amongst the heart-warming décor. A selection of books and games will keep you occupied for hours as you enjoy all that this beautiful cottage has to offer. Take the stairs to the next floor and three bedrooms boast calmness and serenity for you to unwind after a long day, all complete with a nautical theme and quirky accessories. The colour scheme is a breath of fresh air and you can sleep peacefully and wake up to it all over again. A family bathroom is an all-white suite with shower cubicle. Spend your free time in the enclosed garden admiring the far-reaching views across the castle and beyond. Newport boasts a shopping centre, with riverside walks, cafés, a thriving arts centre and multiplex cinema, museums and parks. Being close to the centre of the island, Newport makes an excellent touring base with good road links to all the beaches, countryside and tourist attractions. The property is located at one end of the Tennyson Way which is a beautiful walk along the spine of the island with stunning views to all sides. Queen Victoria's daughter Beatrice came to Clatterford House in 1927 and had tea in the garden which has spectacular views of Carisbrooke Castle and down the Bowcombe Valley.
Newport makes an excellent touring base with good road links to all the beaches, countryside and tourist attractions. Not to be missed are Carisbrooke Castle, Osborne House, Queen Victoria's Italianate summer home, the glorious beaches of Ryde, The Isle of Wight Steam Railway, Ventnor's Botanic Gardens, and The Needles.

The location is great for walks, plus the additional secure garden is also good if you have dogs. Friendly owners, ridiculously easy parking too. Would recommend.
