“Lovely cottage in a quiet peaceful but very well placed location. This cottage has everything you need for your days away on holiday. We cooked for our family almost every day, the kitchen is well equipped, the wood-burning stove keeps everything cosy when it is cool out, and everything is in immaculate condition. Carl and Fay go to great length to make you comfortable with a welcome pack to make sure you are not short of anything in the first few days of settling in. Our holiday was lovely and we would love to come back anytime in the future!”

“Fantastic , comfortable cosy cottage. You have everything you need and more. The location is excellent and the views from the top deck of the cottage are stunning. The welcome pack is above and beyond and Simon is a great host, makes sure you know everything when booking, arriving , during your stay and when you are departing, very courteous and friendly. Our two dogs loved the top garden where it was cool for them to chill. We had an amazing 10 day break at India cottage.”

“Our stay at 6 Seafield Terrace in Seaview was nothing short of breathtaking. The moment we stepped into this charming holiday cottage, we knew we were in for a treat. The beautifully appointed interior, complete with all the modern amenities, provided the perfect blend of comfort and style. The location was idyllic, especially as we were lucky enough to have great weather. The cottage itself was immaculately maintained, with every detail considered to ensure a seamless stay. The proximity to local attractions and the tranquil atmosphere made it an ideal base for exploring the Isle of Wight. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with a touch of elegance. The memories the family made at 6 Seafield Terrace will be cherished for years to come.”

“Luckily, I get to look after the gardens for this great National Trust property.”

“We had a fantastic stay at this property! It was clean, spacious, and felt just like home from the moment we arrived. The house was very well equipped with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to towels and beach gear. One of the highlights was the lovely swimming pool – perfect for relaxing after a day out. The location couldn’t have been better: just a short walk to the beach and very close to the high street, where we found great restaurants, shops, and cafes. Customer service was also excellent – friendly, responsive, and efficient throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient getaway with friends. Hope to return soon!”

“Lovely food and great service very friendly atmosphere.”

“We have used Island Cottage Holidays on five occasions and each time had a really good experience. We have stayed at 'Little Dormers', Cowes. 'Beaulieu Cottage' in Borthwood,Sandown and just returned from 'Baltija', St Lawrence. Each cottage has been excellent but we have to say 'Baltija' is a bit special given its fantastic location. We will definately use this company again. Highly recommended.”

“Lucky enough to call this our local. Ordered many times and never disappointed. Have had family and friends over who ask us to bring a curry from here when we visit theirs.”

“Beautiful cottage overlooking the estuary and just 3 mins walk from the Anchor Bleu pub. The interior has been done to a very high standard (powerful showers, an amazing upstairs ensuite bathroom, lovely kitchen). The information provided by the owners was really comprehensive with very fast responses to any questions. We'd happily stay there again and recommend.”

We loved having exclusive use of the pool, the hot tubs were great and there was something in the games room for all the children ranging form 3 to 17 years old. A very special holiday, thank you.”

“I have stayed at two of Laura Lye's properties, and they were both absolutely stunning! Clean, tidy and had were kitted out with everything you would need for a lovely stay in Arundel. I would highly recommend these properties!!!!”

“Guys, Pawfect experience for dog owners! Not only has a great menu for both yourselves and your loved fur baby but also a very special personal-doggy-service, the food is served in their own bowl, great choice of their own mains, dessert and of course a doggy-drink! Definitely worth visiting ❤️”

“Set in a tucked away location in stunning countryside but still very close to a couple of pubs and the town of Midhurst. Don’t expect brand new rooms with the latest fixtures and fittings - this is an old house with charm. Breakfast was superb and we had a very comfortable nights sleep.”

“We had dinner at the restaurant, lovely meal and great service, a total gem of a place, fantastic atmosphere, also with a great bar. Special mention for the manager Luke and his staff who are so welcoming.”

“I stayed with my family here for a last minute holiday and we had such a wonderful stay. The location was beautiful and the cottages were set with fields around. We stayed in Egremont cottage and it was so spacious. Perfect for our family and our dog too. The cottage was superbly clean and the check-in/check-out from the hotel was seamless. Really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend. Looking forward to our next trip already!”

“We love Primrose Cottage! We have used them several times for short and long holidays. They are super reliable and very reasonable on price. Our two dogs (who are not the easiest dogs to handle!) are always happy and healthy when we pick them up.”
