Guests say
Badgers Sett Brook is a cosy cottage praised for its comfortable bed, ideal location near the beach and bus stop, and suitability for dog owners. Guests appreciate the private courtyard and friendly owner, though some noted areas for improvement in amenities and maintenance.
Cleanliness has been a concern for some guests, with reports of the property not being clean, cobwebs present, and a non-functional hoover. However, not all reviews mention cleanliness issues.
The location is highly regarded, with its proximity to the beach, local pub, and a bus stop, making it ideal for exploring the West side of the island and dog walking.
Comfort is generally well-received, with a comfortable bed and enjoyable stay mentioned. However, there are comments about the sofa needing an update, suggesting room for improvement.
Facilities and maintenance have received mixed feedback. Positive notes include a bath and private courtyard, but guests have reported issues with amenities, a non-working towel rail, and the need for defrosting the freezer.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owner, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Brook Bay can be found moments away on the unspoiled south west coast of the island. The beach is made up of golden sands, and is great for many activities, from cricket on the beach, to kite and wind-surfing for the more adventurous. One of the beach’s more unique features is the fossilised forest of huge trees which appears from beneath the waves at Hanover Point at low tide, it’s definitely worthwhile booking a tour on the beach to see the dinosaur footprints in the sandstone ledge.
The island has become a real hot spot for cycling enthusiasts with a choice of challenging off road bridleways, peaceful byways and level purpose-made tracks running along its former railway lines. Cycle to the famous Needles landmark or take on the full round the island route, which is 66 miles long and is used for the annual Isle of Wight Randonnee. You can also travel along the route at a more leisurely pace and along the way you will find numerous restaurants, pubs and cafés amongst the quaint villages and towns serving tasty local produce.

We enjoyed our stay but felt some of the amenities were sadly lacking. We only had two toilet rolls (had to buy more). We were only given one set of towels and the towel rail didn’t work. We had to chip out all the ice from the freezer so we could use it. There was no tray’s to put our plates on.On the positive side the bed was very comfortable and it was nice to soak in the bath after our days out. It was very handy having the bus stop only a few yards away. Good dog walking area.

Overall very nice the only things I would say is that the sofa needs to be updated and the freezer needs to be defrosted and cleaned out

I’ve been a regular visitor to Badgers Sett, Brook for a number of years and will continue to do so. It’s ideally located for exploring the West side of the island, if you’re a couple who loves beaches, walking and exploring, it really is ideal.
