We had a wonderful time at the cottage. It was well equipped with everything you would need. My granddaughter loved the hot tub. There was a lovely welcome pack waiting for us on arrival. We were able to see some red squirrels in the trees by the cottage, sadly everyone but me.

We recently spent a week at the cottage and everything was as advertised. We’ve been to the IOW a few times and this is our favourite accommodation so far. Love the hot tub to relax in after a busy family day. The hosts were really nice too. We used the EV charger included in the booking without issue.

Our family had an amazing week at Red Squirrel Cottage. The house is very well located in the centre of the island making easy to get anywhere within c. 30mins. It is spacious, well decorated and appointed and was very clean. Our children particularly enjoyed the hot tub. Overall we had a great time and would recommend.
