Stayed here back in April - first experience of a B&B and found it an extremely good experience. The hosts are very friendly and helpful including the dog :-) Our room, lovely clean and modern and the breakfast was delicious and would not hesitate in recommending or staying here again.
Rockstone Cottage is excellent.Everything is thought of to make your stay an absolute delight. Amazing choice for breakfast. There was absolutely nothing forgotten in the room. Look no further if you.wish to stay on the island. Such a friendly house.
Such friendly accommodating owners. Beautiful rooms & delicious breakfast. They have thought of everything for the perfect stay.

Everything about the stay exceeded expectations. The property is immaculate and really well located, breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The hosts provide a very warm welcome and did everything they could to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Would thoroughly recommend and I am sure we will return in future.
Had a wonderful stay here. House was full of character, lovely couple that ran the B&B. Our room was comfortable, nice bed, shower etc, overlooking the garden. Quiet.
Breakfast was the best we had whilst staying on the island. Fresh fruit, cereals, cooked, toast etc.
Free parking and wi-fi.
Would definitely stay here again. Thank you.
Brilliant! Nice room, very close to the beach, lots of breakfast options. Matt and Denise are great, plus their very friendly dog Nelson which greet us upon arrival. Couldn't be better.
From arrival to leaving our stay was a pleasure, extremely clean, food excellent and the owners very helpful in recommending nearby restaurants, bus timetables and advice on walks. We had a fantastic stay.
Amazing stay! Warm welcome, easy access by bus or car, walking distance to the beach and restaurants, comfortable bed, super clean, beautiful and spacious room, perfect shower, and most delicious breakfast included. All in all, just perfect!
Lovely, comfortable B&B. We had premium room at top of the house which had a good deal of space including sofa to watch TV from. Nice decor. Very good breakfast. Warm welcome from our hosts. We had to drive in to Yarmouth to have dinner but pub across the main road (being renovated) looks like it is going to open fairly soon. Can understand why it has been fully booked for the last 6 months and why clientele return. Note this property is at Colwell Bay and not in the middle of Freshwater proper which includes a number of villages/areas.
