    Excellent. Good choice of cereal, followed by a very substantial full cooked breakfast, with toast and a choice of jam, honey or marmalade.

    This was a fabulous find. Mark our host was super, offering a friendly welcome with tea & biscuits. Access to a beautiful garden is a bonus as the rooms in the private annex are very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Two sofas & free netflix make for a proper seating area to relax in the evening after busy days sightseeing. The property is set in a rural location so you can expect some agricultural activity in the distance, and a bit of road noise BUT this is not intrusive. A special note of thanks too for the bed linen which was crisp cotton on lightweight duvets entirely appropriate to the heat we were experiencing that week. Breakfast was excellent, served in the annex, and we had the use of a microwave and fridge, with cold water on arrival. There was an excellent selection of cereals plus cooked breakfast on offer & orange juice & toast. The bathroom was spotless with plenty of large towels. Night sensor lights were positioned discretely so as to minimise disruption and provide safe access to the bathroom in the middle of the night. This is a really well thought out accommodation with a highly experienced B&B provider. Freshwater and the surrounding area is a gem. Forget Cowes! There is so much to see and experience in this quarter especially if you like beautiful scenery, great pubs, country houses of historical interest, good food and long walks.

    Not a criticism at all but you need transport if staying there

    The Cottage was in a beautiful area and the whole place was stunning. The owners were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble.

    Take an eye mask and earplugs with you if you don’t want to be woken too early by the light and dawn chorus! Perhaps the owners might consider adding some blackout curtains, or blinds. It was still all lovely though so don’t be put off.

    Loved the light, bright rooms and modern facilities. Every detail had been thought about and Mark was on hand to help if we needed anything else. Location was also great in a quiet, rural area only a few minutes’ drive from the Yarmouth ferry.

    Mark was very welcoming on arrival. The location was idyllic with very nice views from both bedrooms. Mark was very knowledgeable of the island and the area and recommended places to eat and also left contact numbers for takeaways and restaurants. A nice touch was having access to Netflix and Amazon prime video whilst staying. The breakfast in the morning was amazing and he had gone above and beyond preparing the table and serving the food, everything was on offer and it was no problem at all for him. We are very grateful for having the opportunity to stay there and with a demanding 5 year old he made our stay relaxing and comfortable. Highly recommended anyone staying on the island to book here if possible, a great experience!

    Some extra balcony window coverings in the bedrooms as it’s so bright early in the morning but that is only a small niggle and probably slightly personal preference.

    Clean and bright. Loved having the separate living space downstairs for the evenings after the little one has gone to bed and you still have the convenience of breakfast being made. Mark is a lovely host who is always happy to help. He kindly gave us plates and cutlery to have dinner in the house as we struggled with restaurant bookings during half term.
