What our customers say about their holidays

  Regrettably the double bed would only be a double bed for two stick people or, at least one stick person and a normal sized person.

  I had to sleep on one (admittedly comfortable) relaxing chairs. Either way, the bedding was inadequate with the duvet only just reaching over the edges of the mattress and failing to do so when even only (of necessity) one person slept in the bed. It was advertised as an 'accessible' cottage and to a large degree it was, although an able bodied person would need to be on hand to open - let alone unlock and open - the main door. It certainly was accessible. However, I was concerned that the wet room didn't seem to have a very non-slip, non-slip floor and despite the availability of a stool, there was only one grab rail which I felt was inadequate for using the shower. Otherwise, the cottage was well furnished and comfortable and sufficient kitchenware for two people. It was a nightmare trying to get hold of Helen Wilkes but she was very apologetic when she arrived after a bad morning - and we all have those! We were unable to find any information about leaving the cottage and were unable to get hold of Helen to find out where to leave the key on our departure. (It's in the door by the way)

  This small but well equipped two-bedroom cottage suited me perfectly.

  The location close to Ryde and yet in the countryside was ideal and it was a good launch point for my activities which involved walking and sight-seeing. I was able to return home to warm rooms, comfy furniture, Netflicks, great cooking facilities and constant hot water and then retire to one of the best beds I have ever slept in. Hosts were on-site but never intrusive. The IoW recycling system is rather complicated but there were plenty of instructions on how to get it right for collection day. There was a good parking spot and, had it been suitable weather, there was a small garden with BBQ. Outside lights were handy for the nights drawing in and I particularly liked the patio doors - these would be a boon in the summer. My bedroom had plenty of storage, a great dressing table/desk and loads of power sockets. The towels were a decent size and the shower had a strong flow of water. Finding wine, water and beer in the fridge was a lovely touch and I would return to this location and accommodation.

  A lovely, comfortable, clean, well equipped property.

  We were welcomed by Helen, who was very welcoming and friendly. Everything about 1 The Stables was to our liking. The sitting area was cosy and comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and the bedrooms were roomy with comfortable beds and pillows; we both had such good night sleeps. The property is in a lovely peaceful area; loved hearing the birds. There is a nice outside seating area but it was a little bit chilly for us to enjoy. The property is a good base to explore the Island from and there is so much to see and do on the Island. After a day exploring it was such a pleasure to come back to the Stables and relax on comfy sofas in front of the telly. Four nights just wasn’t long enough! We hope to go back at some time. Thank you Helen for letting us stay in your lovely place. Lin and Harry

  A very comfortable cottage which was well equipped with everything you would need for a great holiday.

  The huge bed was nice and comfortable, great for a good night's sleep. The owners, Helen & Paul, were very nice and welcoming and were there if needed, but everything was satisfactory and we did not need to contact them. The views from the garden were absolutely stunning and we could not have wished for better. In the adjoining paddocks there were sheep and Shetland ponies which were lovely to watch while sitting in the garden, which was very dog friendly and our dog also enjoyed her holiday. The cottage was a great base to go exploring and it was fairly easy getting around the island. We would definitely recommend and look forward to returning soon.

  We absolutely loved our trip.

  Helen and Paul were very accommodating and the whole cottage was brilliant - it has everything we needed and everything was thought of. Even when we had a powercut Helen popped around with a torch. Travelling during covid is always a bit nervy but we found everything was spotlessly clean, and felt very safe with social distancing and a box of essentials that had been set up and not touched for days. The cottage was warm and cosy and garden very secure for our dog. View is beautiful and the whole scenery of the IOW was spectacular. If we ever return to the island we would go back to the Stables and will recommend to anyone planning to go.
