  • "A lovely, peaceful location in the owner's large garden."

    The Cabin is cosy, warm and well-equipped. It is near the pretty village of Godshill and in an excellent location for touring the island. There are lots of footpaths up on to the Downs with fantastic views across the island. The owners of the Cabin are very friendly and helpful.

  • "Excellent cottage, exactly as described."

    I would recommend this to other users, the cottage is light and airy and well equipped. The owners are attentive if you need anything. Nice position within the island although dont try walking down the road to the village, use the footpaths as shown on the map in the cottage.

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Cabin."

    It is spotlessly clean and well equipped and had lots of lovely touches such as a fabulous welcome pack, milk in the fridge, condiments, foil etc. Rob and Lisa are very accommodating and we very much enjoyed meeting their dogs Gracie and Nelly and Ted the tortoise. The Cabin is in a peaceful spot in the owner's garden but is conveniently situated for reaching various tourist attractions and we would definitely return.

    We are always happy to hear that our guests have been happy here! Thanks for your positive comments. Property Owner

  • "I can highly recommend this place."

    Easy to find and I was pleasantly surprised at just how comfortable the cabin was. All the basic supplies you need are provided like condiment, foil, clingfilm etc. Spacious lounge/kitten. The bed was very comfortable. Plenty of cupboard space. Shower is great, powerful and hot. The owners are lovely and made me feel very welcome. Perfect place to stay and location is central to most of the attractions on the isle of Wight. Definitely one to consider. I myself would definitely stay here again.

  • "I was very happy staying in 'The Cabin'."

    It was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything I needed. I enjoyed seeing chickens and rabbits from the window and hearing bird song all around too. Lisa and Rob were kind, friendly and helpful but not intrusive. As I was holidaying on my own it was especially nice to see friendly people when I got back each day. It was extremely convenient to have a bus stop right at the end of the drive and although I mostly used my car, when I did catch the bus it was an excellent service.

    We are happy that you were able to enjoy the Isle of Wight from your base in The Cabin. Property Owner

    Every need of visitors had been anticipated. Access for guest with limited mobility was an issue due to steps and uphill climb through the orchard, but we managed.

    Thank you for your kind words. May we apologise once again that you were not specifically informed of the steps and the slope to The Cabin although they can be seen in the photos. We have now asked Sykes to include a note in their summary making this clear to future guests. Property Owner
