Guests say
Stable Cottage receives high praise for its cleanliness, comfort, and tranquil location in the heart of the Isle of Wight. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, thoughtful touches, and the warm welcome from the hosts. The cottage's central position makes it an ideal base for exploring the island, with easy access to attractions and natural beauty spots. Despite minor suggestions for updates, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many looking forward to return visits.
Guests consistently note the cottage's cleanliness, describing it as 'spotlessly clean' and 'very clean'. The attention to cleanliness contributes significantly to the positive experiences reported.
The central location is frequently commended for its convenience and accessibility to the rest of the Isle of Wight. The peaceful and beautiful setting is also highlighted, although the remote nature required driving down country lanes.
Reviews often mention the comfort of the cottage, with its cosy atmosphere and comfortable beds. However, a few guests suggest improvements to mattresses and bedding, slightly affecting the score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the cottage being well-equipped. Some guests mention the lack of a dishwasher and issues with Wi-Fi and a DVD player, indicating room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
Several reviews highlight thoughtful gestures such as fresh flowers, a bottle of Prosecco, and fresh milk. While these are appreciated, it is important to note that such personal touches, although delightful, may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

Half an hour from anywhere on the island, situated in a quiet arable and grassland valley. A helpful welcome by the hosts. We would return and recommend.

Well located - nothing on the Island is more than a 30 minute drive away. Spotlessly clean; well maintained; very comfortable. It is in the middle of nowhere making it really peaceful. Sitting out in the patio area every morning listening to the birds was lovely. Will definitely return!

It was very quiet and perfectly located in the centre of the Isle of Wight to ensure the whole Island was easy to visit and enjoy. The owners wwere great people too and very helpful. Stable Cottage was one of four units but all were superbly positioned that ensured privacy and a fabulous holiday setting. We could not think of anywhere better for us to stay in.
