  • "We had a lovely week in this very well equipped house."

    Great kitchen/living space. Fantastic garden and bbq area. Perfect for our two young granddaughters and our pet Labrador. A lovely peaceful setting but within easy reach of visitor attractions and beaches.

    Thank you for your lovely review. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back in the future ☺️ Property Owner

  • "A lovely spacious cottage with a large garden."

    Ideal for a family holiday, we loved the toys, games, art provisions and baking bowls/cutters for the children. There really was no need to go out! We felt that the bathrooms could do with updating as the showers were unpredictable especially when being used together. We were a little disappointed to find that the washing machine had water in when we went to use it but after draining it out it worked perfectly all week. Very clean and the basket of tea, coffee and biscuits was a nice addition.

    Thank you so much for your review and feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay. Apologies re the washing machine, it had undergone a repair on the day of your arrival and should have been emptied, but so pleased it was working well. We hope to update the bathrooms this winter ☺️ Property Owner

  • "Really enjoyed our stay."

    Marked down on maintenance as there were nails protruding from the bath panel in family bathroom which had previously been reported and clear glass and no blind in the downstairs toilet. No instructions for Hi Tech cooking equipment. Would definately stay there again. Amazing garden and easy access to the castle.

    So pleased you enjoyed your stay. Bath panel had to be removed recently by a plumber. I have now ensured that all nails are flush. Fingers crossed 2025 will see a new bathroom! Noted about blind in the loo. We will sort that ASAP, although in such a rural location it is not overlooked by anyone. We will beef up our cooking instructions as well. Hope to see you back with us in the future and thank you for your helpful feedback. Property Owner

  • "This cottage is absolutely stunning."

    It's very big, so much space, a beautiful garden and very very clean. We would 100 percent go back here. Incredible price for such a gorgeous cottage.

  • "Only one wardrobe with hanging space in one bedroom wasn't really enough for 4 adults, using 2 bedrooms."

    The cottage was a little more remote than we expected it to be. An iron and ironing board would have been useful We had no instructions for either the hob and oven or the other appliances which would have been helpful.

    Thank you for your feedback. Hangers are provided for each bedroom, however we will look to provide ironing facilities. We will update the guest information with further instructions for the kitchen appliances. I hope that you enjoyed the quiet location, while only being 5 minutes from Newport, despite it being unexpected. Property Owner

About the location

CARISBROOKE

Newport 1.4 miles; Cowes 6.2 miles; Shanklin 10.1 miles

A bustling village resting on the Isle of Wight, Carisbrooke can be found settled on the south western outskirts of Newport. Best known for Carisbrooke Castle, a point of interest which has been all of an Elizabethan artillery fortress, a king's prison and a royal summer residence, this village is a wondrous base, with a variety of amenities to cater to all tastes. The village's medieval parish church of St. Mary's is a talking point; once part of a Benedictine priory, established by French monks in around 1150, there's so much to explore here. Within the village there are two pubs; the Victorian-era pub and inn of The Waverley and the Grade II listed The Eight Bells, along with a Turkish Restaurant, Italian restaurant and a local shop. Feed the ducks at the Carisbrooke Millpond, or take a trip into the vibrant county town of Newport where you can take a stroll along the River Medina before exploring its wider range of eateries settled amongst its Museum of Island History and art centre, or explore the outskirts of the town to find the 88 acres of countryside in the form of Robin Hall Country Park, with a plethora of walking routes and a scatter of family-friendly attractions to be discovered. Venture into the Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for even more stunning scenery, as well as the wonder of Compton Beach walled by sandstone cliffs and offering a scenic experience like no other. To the north of the village you can also find the coast of Cowes, with even more wonderful beach walks, independent shops, a golf course, various museums and historical landmarks, it's well-worth a visit. Sitting at the centre of the Isle of Wight, the village of Carisbrooke is ideally positioned for exploring the many attractions that the area has to offer, with easy links to Portsmouth for a day out with a difference.
