Janette
It is a very attractive property, very well maintained, and has a very nice garden/patio area overlooking a lovely green field where some sheep and horses sometimes graze. The property is about 10 mins in the car from the Fishbourne Ferry Terminal and all the attractions of the IofW are within easy reach. We can highly recommend for a great holiday.

The property is extremely clean, well furnished and catered for all our needs, the views from the property are amazing and the hosts Helen and Paul are extremely friendly and helpful. We cannot wait to go back in future years to stay at this lovely property and explore more of the beautiful Isle of Wight. We have recommended 3 The Stables to all our family and friends and look forward to staying again in the near future.
