A fabulous, wondeful cottage located in a quiet, picturesque part of the beatiful Isle of Wight. The Old Cowshed is a lovely place to stay - cosy, homely and modern, with great facilitues and views. It is a lovely place to unwind, especially with beautiful views of the countryside and bay. The hot tub and woodburner are fantastic additions, the place was exceptionally clean with everything we needed and the beds were super comfy - we all slept very well! The owners, Izzy and Andy were very welcoming and helpful and always on hand if we needed anything. We had a lovely holiday at the Old Cowshed and would love to return!

We had an amazing stay on the Isle of Wight at the Old Cowshed. We were incredibly lucky with the weather, and the views from the property were stunning. The house itself is very spacious while still feeling cosy. Charming features such as the exposed beams and fireplace give it a wonderfully homely atmosphere, and it was beautifully decorated for Christmas.The kitchen is very well equipped and perfect for cooking family meals. There were games available, a BBQ, and a lovely hot tub. We would definitely recommend this property for a cozy relaxing family stay.
