-
"Really lovely little house and garden"
-
"Lovely clean comfortable house."
Owners provide all the necessary mod cons, and contactable. In a quiet neighbourhood, it was lovely waking up listening to the birds singing. Would recommend this property
-

The owner contacted us shortly before our holiday to discuss the finer details and ensure our arrival and stay went smoothly.
-

Brilliant communication with any questions and lovely property that had everything we needed for our family stay

"A deceptively spacious house with everything you could want for a peaceful holiday, including a lovely semi-rural location."
-
"Lovely cottage was very homely and very clean ."
All the stuff you need for a comfortable stay . Does say dog friendly but be aware they are not allowed upstairs or on furniture. Lovely little garden perfect for a pooch . The only little downside and it is little is the chairs in the lounge could do with updating not so comfy that’s a small thing otherwise a lovely place to stay.

"The property was exactly as described."
Jude sent very detailed and easy to follow instructions before the stay which made our arrival easy. The property was extremely spacious and well equipped with everything needed. There were loads of towels and bedding and the kitchen has everything you could ever need The fresh milk and flowers were an added bonus. Our only point of note was for those with small children the listing mentions a stair gate but be aware this is only at the bottom of the stairs and not the top We would definitely look to return to this property again and would recommend it to anybody wanting to visit the Island

"A very comfortable and well equipped house with a pleasant garden ideal for sitting out in the late afternoon sunshine."
A pleasant location in a good neighbourhood, near to shops, pubs and the beach.
-
"Very comfortable cottage, we had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay."
-
"Exactly featured online, spacious and relaxing"
-
"We stayed at Fieldside to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary and it was perfect, after being married for 40 years we’ve stayed in many many cottages and it was perfect with a very safe garden for our puppy, fantastic location being within walking distance of Freshwater and the many local beautiful beaches."
We would thoroughly recommend staying in lovely property. Thanks to Jude for a great two week stay in your house.
-
"Overall very happy with the cottage."
Parking a bit awkward. Garden furniture could do with an update.
-
"Fieldside was very clean and welcoming."
The fresh flowers were a nice touch. We enjoyed the lovely garden.The owner was very helpful with details beforehand.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Fieldside."
Such a peaceful, clean and cosy home. Jude was so helpful with our booking and the welcome flowers and cakes a kind, thoughtful touch. We stayed at Fieldside 7 years ago - lovely then too, so we'll most certainly be visiting again. Home from home!
-
"Very well laid out property and heating was good when we had finally worked out how to light the gas fire in the lounge."
We only tried once to use the hob (induction) and found the instructions too difficult to follow and ended up using the microwave. Otherwise the kitchen was very clean and well laid out. There were only 2 of us, but the property could easily accommodate 5 people. The garden was also well maintained and looked pretty.
-
"A warm and comfortable house in a very pleasant location, looking over fields from the rear of the house."
The house contained everything we required and was well located for exploring The Needles end of the island.
-
"The whole process felt welcoming and communication with the owner was excellent."
The property was spacious and comfortable for five adults, and especially useful was having a second fridge/freezer. Thoughtful touches included milk and a vase of fresh flowers on our arrival. The location is great if you like local walks to several beaches and the countryside - and the local Co-op was always well stocked for our needs. Thank you Jude and Sykes for a wonderful holiday!
-
"Very nice, spacious place, well equipped, we especially liked the garden."
One suggestion is to provide a recycling bin in the kitchen to help visitors keep their stack of recyclable objects tidy. Note: Some of the games are broken now/worn out and need replacing (e.g. Guess Who is missing cards, Scrabble unplayable so much of it is missing).
-
"Our second visit to this property which is conveniently placed for a relaxing holiday on the quieter side of the island close to The Needles and Compton Bay."
The house is airy, comfortable and well furnished and the garden is beautifully kept. The poet Tennyson's house Farringford is less than a mile away and is well worth a visit.
-
"Lovely house as described."
Situated in quiet area with beaches easily accessible. Just a 10 minute drive from the Yarmouth Ferry and with shops, takeaways and pubs within a few minutes. The house was clean with everything that was needed. Plenty of bedding, towels and blankets if required. I would definitely recommend the house and the owner Jude was very helpful.
-
"Great holiday cottage in a great location."
It had everything we needed and a lovely garden. The only downside was that the wi-fi was a bit slow, but otherwise it was perfect.
-
"Perfect for our 3 day visit to the IOW."
The accommodation had everything we needed and the bed was particularly comfortable. We enjoyed walking from the house to Freshwater and Totland Bay. Thank you
-
"We had a fantastic holiday in a lovely well equipped homely property."
Lots of unexpected extras. Would thoroughly recommend
-
"Had a lovely break at Fieldside with the family (& dog)"
-
"We enjoyed our stay with our grand daughters and the dog."
The cottage is ideally placed for both! A couple of small points (not criticisms) We noticed the hot water never got particularly hot and wondered whether we should have done something ourselves to boost the system but were reluctant to “fiddle” Also the dish washer wasn’t particularly efficient. We used a number of different programmes but the dishes weren’t always cleaned off properly.
-
"Would have liked a walk in shower."
Felt precarious standing in a bath. Also difficult getting in and out.
-
"Good location , nice walk across field to Totland Bay each eve to watch sunset."
Had blackout blinds which is always helpful & no street light to disturb sleep. However I felt that the house needed a deep clean, my dog has come back with fleas ? Although in a quiet setting there are 2 young and very noisy children next door. Fence needed to be higher as every time adults walked out of garden could see in so no privacy. Would suggest that the climbers on back wall be cut right back as they came up and around bedroom window which meant couldn't have windows open in sweltering heatdue to insects and spiders coming in.
-
"The house had everything an active family needs for the IoW, including a hose pipe to wash the wet suits / boards!"
The best thing was location - easy access to West Wight and the local beaches at Totland, Colwell and Alum Bay (Needles). We even walked into Freshwater as it was so close!
-
"Just got home after a wonderful week on the Isle of Wight."
Fieldside was very clean and comfortable and was in a perfect place for exploring the island.
-
"Perfect location for a peaceful but interesting holiday with everywhere you'd like to go reachable in under an hour by car."
The house was clean, tidy and comfortable with a very pleasant garden. We are booking a return visit.
-
"Proximity to walks and beaches great so gave the car a holiday too."
Secure back garden ideal for dog to wander in.
-
"House is well equipped, very pretty little garden and new kitchen."
Walking distance of Freshwater village where most things were available. Good country walks nearby as well. It would be good to have a hairdryer in the house. We would thoroughly recommend Fieldside.
-
"This is a very well equipped property and in a very quiet location."
It was just what we needed after being in lockdown for so long and it gave us the opportunity to see my daughter and grandson who joined us for the holiday. I would have no hesitation in booking again
-
"Lovely cottage with all the mod cons needed and good situation for visiting the island."
. Quiet side of island really peaceful and we were blessed with lovely weather .. garden is lovely ..
-
"A lovely house to stay in within walking distance of the sea."
A fabulous new kitchen was an added and very welcome addition, as was a lovely private spring garden. We would definitely stay here again.
-

...wonderfully equipped kitchen ,very peaceful area & we all had comfy beds! Excellent location for walking from the front door & had great walks in Freshwater, Totland Bay & Compton Cliffs.... spectacular! Fieldside is a great house & has a beautiful garden as well....good for bird watching. Thank you & we very much hope to return....
-
"We arrived during storm Dennis and the weather during our whole week was extremely wet and windy."
Although the weather was not great we still managed to explore the island. Our holiday cottage was extremely comfortable (possibly the comfiest we have had) the beds especially, and everything worked as it should even the WiFi which was important to our nine year old daughter. The holiday Cottage was extremely warm and inviting when we arrived back from a wet and windy walk. We would definitely consider this property again if we went back to the Isle of Wight
-
"The holiday was really enjoyable,"
-
"When we arrived, we were surprised with the amount of space we had."
The cottage is bigger than the pictures show, and it is so peaceful. We would recommend staying here to anyone. Thank you for a great week!
-
"Had a lovely holiday in Fieldside."
Owner was very pleasant and helpful. There was plenty of linen, towels, kitchen ware. A lovely house and garden. The kitchen could do with being ungraded especially the units, white goods and boiler. Plenty of parking round the back but drive round was a bit bumpy. Would recommended this place for a nice stay in a beautiful part of the IOW.
-
"The house was situated in a nice area."
It was handy for at least 3 different beaches ( one was walkable by an old guy of 71 who had a cardiac arrest last year ! ). We were 5 adults and I thought we would be a bit crammed. But the house was spacious and we had plenty of room. All beds were comfortable. There was every facility you could possibly require. The back garden was pretty and nice for sun-bathing
-
"We had a lovely time in the Isle of Wight I will definitely be coming back our children absolutely loved it"
-
"Our stay at Fieldside was brilliant, the cottage and garden were lovely, so peaceful and relaxing."
The only downside was that a week wasn't long enough and we felt sad to leave.
-
"A lovely house in a peaceful location."
Everything was clean and well-appointed. The heating worked really well and he beds were comfy. Great selection of books and games for the children. Our dog also had a great time. We would stay here again.
-
"The house is lovely."
The location is peaceful, with gently bleating sheep just over the back fence, yet it's still within an easy walk of both the village and multiple beaches. The garden is well enclosed, which is a great help when travelling with dogs or children. I've been very impressed with the standard of all of the Sykes Cottages I've stayed in, and this is the best yet.
-
"Fantastic communication with Owner."
Lovely place and very clean. Great selection of books in the kids room and they loved the bunk beds. Main bedrooms very comfy and spacious. Large lounge/diner with plenty of board games. Boiler a bit noisy for those in the 2nd bedroom so dont set it to come on too early :-)
-
"A map reference would have been handy."
A spacious house , all that you needed like home from home
-
"We had a fantastic week on the Isle of Wight, I went with my husband daughter son in law and two grandsons, Fieldside was spacious ideal for families very clean and comfortable, the owner really helpful."
-
"Lovely holiday."
The owner of the property kept in regular communication. Fieldside was a home from home. Really enjoyed our stay.
-
"We loved the cottage, just like home."
Also the owner was really nice and helpful when we contacted her
-
"We really enjoyed staying at Fieldside."
We have been visiting the island over the past 30 years and we enjoyed staying in this location very much. The house was a real home from home, and if the weather had been a little warmer, we would have enjoyed sitting out on the patio more. The bird song was super and the house very peaceful. Thank you
-
"Previous experience of rental properties has been 'functional' and spartan, but Fieldside cottage was warm, inviting, and immaculate Thoughtful touches like hand towels, hand soap, even fresh flowers, made us feel welcome and at home."
I booked only three nights to accommodate work and family commitments but hope that next time we can stay longer. Thank you.
-
"Fieldside is in a quiet location backing onto fields which at the time of our break were full of lambs."
We awoke to bird song each day and the absence of street lights meant the starry night sky was spectacular. There are many footpaths within easy reach of the property which lead to shops in the centre of Freshwater, Tennyson Down, The Needles and Freshwater Bay to name a few well known locations. There are 2 good pubs which serve good food within easy walking distance (one along a footpath, one along a country road (so take a torch). The property was cosy, warm and had all appliances we needed as well as plenty of towels and bedding. Being a quiet location, a good night's sleep is virtually guaranteed.
-
"This was a tranquil spot in an idyllic location."
The accommodation was spacious and comfortable. We were blessed with fine weather for our stay and particularly enjoyed relaxing over coffee on the patio in the mornings. The garden was very pretty, secluded and a great sun trap. The cottage had everything we needed, and helpful information about the appliances, and also about local attractions. Both we and our dog loved the fact there were public footpaths pretty much from the front door, and being able to walk to the sea was an added bonus.Sunset drink at Waterfront Inn highly recommended! Good location for exploring the scenery and heritage sites on this beautiful island. We'd definitely like to come back.
-
"10 minutes walk to town but a decent torch needed 400 yard road with no lights or pavement."
We had a torch but it was really too small. It would be really nice in the summer Our dog loved it.
