"This little cottage is perfect for a solo traveller with a dog or two. The location is ideal for a dog-friendly holiday. The back gate opens straight onto the cliff path, with a mostly-enclosed park next door and dog-friendly beaches just down the cliff. The local cafes and restaurants are almost all dog-friendly, so no need to cook. The area feels very safe, which is important when traveling alone.The cottage is cosy. It's perfectly big enough for one person, or for two petite people who really like each other! There are simple kitchen facilities ideal for snacks, although eating main meals out is easier (who wants to cook on holiday anyway!). The bed's comfortable, but don't bring your entire wardrobe, as storage space for clothes is very limited. The enclosed garden is ideal for fur babies.The local train does go past the front gate every so often, but even my noise-sensitive dog stopped barking at it after the third train went past, so nothing to worry about there.Everything was nice and clean, and the milk, teabags, wine, biscuits and cakes were a lovely personal touch that you don't get from a self-catering resort. Keith and Sarah were very attentive hosts, always nearby if they were needed."

"Lesson 1: turn off your satnav, you're on the Isle of Wight! Welcome: Dawn and Ken met us at the gate, and gave us a thorough guided tour of the facilities, and there's a welcome gift as well. The cottage has only been available since July 2014, so everything was new. Perfect for two people, and as this is the Isle of Wight you are no far from anything, although if you eat out of an evening, you do need to drive or hire a taxi. Facilities: excellent View: fields, trees, animals, there are 3 nature reserves, and Brading Down has wonderful views. We had spectacular weather in September, even managed a swim in the sea off Sandown. One pub lunch after a long walk, and one evening meal in a pub for our wedding anniversary, otherwise we ate at the cottage. Fish and chips from the local caravan park are recommended - but they did shut at 7pm. Hard to say what I didn't like, there really wasn't anything in this category. One tip: once you arrive on the Island, ring ahead for directions, I drove past the cottage 3 times (hopefully the owners have put a sign on the gate now), and I know my way around."

"Perfect location with beaches in less than 5 minute walk. Located mid distance between Shanklin and Sandown. Accommodation was very good with every facility available. Hosts did all they could to ensure you had everything you needed. Nice seating area outside for those late evening rays. Lake itself was a bit disappointing with only one pub in reasonable walking distance - and stagger back - but they did not serve evening meals. Tesco Express, Chinese, Kebabs and chippy all easy to walk to. Supermarkets and KFC about a 5 minute drive away. Everywhere was very dog friendly with water bowls outside houses, even some with dog biscuits. Used the holiday let as a base. Day trips by car to every part of the Island to see attractions. Job done."

"3 Old Post Office Mews is an immaculate, comfortable and extremely well-equipped holiday home. We had a problem using the induction hob without the missing instruction booklet, but we contacted Abbie on the emergency number, and could not have received a more helpful and friendly response. Having Costcutters next door, through the arch onto the High Street, was extremely useful, as was the large Tesco superstore just a short drive away. The restaurant close by, Heima, is of a very high quality. Travel on the trains (each of which is two old London underground carriages) from Brading Station was fun. The speed of the internet on the island was our only problem. We had a lovely stay on the islandl"
