Really quiet and out the way property surrounded by woodland and fields - but within 3 miles of shops and pubs and only 12 mins from the coast. Plenty of wildlife literally right outside your window, pheasants, birds and plenty of red squirrels too! Everything you need was supplied in the property, from washing up liquid to dishwasher tablets, WiFi, netflix, washing machine and the use of the outdoor Private pool. Justine was the perfect host, we loved our daily visits from Teddy her little dog too. Would definitely stay at The Springs again when we next visit the Isle of Wight.

Both the owners were so kind and helpful giving us hints on the best places to see and eat. The cabin was spotlessly clean with everything we needed. Plenty of privacy to sit outside with more than enough seating options. We had full access to the pool which was lovely and was able to sit and watch all kinds of birds at the feeders and were lucky enough to see some red squirrels. We loved the Isle of Whight. Plenty of things to see and do and the ferry was so easy to use. Overall 10/10 would recommend to anyone

It was so quiet and we had the pool to ourselves all week, which was very clean and well maintained. Justine and Mike were helpful throughout giving us ideas of places to visit. Couldn't fault the whole week which was our second year there.
