Itâs very well equipped, cosy and comfortable. Very well located in Brading for local shop, pub and fish and chips, and a very short car journey down to Sandown and the lovely beaches. Would definitely stay here again.

Will definitely recommend to anyone wanting a quite location. Easy access to local attractions with a 10minutes drive (Sandown, Shanklin, Roman Villa) but the island itself can be driven across in just over an hour so you can literally visit anything and everything the Isle Of Wight has to offer from here. Looking forward to returning here again in the future.

We have stayed in this property a number of times and it is always clean and the added touch of milk, wine and fruit from the owners makes you feel very welcome. There is a pub within walking distance that serves lovely food all day - would definitely recommend that and the chip shop.
