Cottage Set In Rolling Countryside

The Annex at Barrow Cottage is a single story extension to the cottage, with use of a large garden and paddock. It is situated in one of the loveliest parts of the Isle of Wight set amidst rolling green fields and close to the picturesque village of Godshill in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This is great walking country, surrounded by footpaths, yet is still just a ten minute drive to the beaches of Shanklin and Ventnor. It's great for families and for couples who just want to relax.

Latest news*** we have Barn Owls nesting in our garden!

We stay once a year now and I wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else now. Chris and Nicky are so welcoming, their place is so clean, grounds are beautiful and life couldn’t be easier whenever we stay. Thanks again and see you next year!

The Annex at Barrow Cottage is ideally situated for island exploration while being a quiet, secluded location in which to relax. Chris and Nicky have provided everything you'd need for a comfortable stay. The cottage is clean, quiet and the beds are very comfortable. The garden is great for kids to play in and the cottage will sleep 4 (plus a baby in the cot) with ease. We highly recommend this property to any couples or small families looking for an Isle Of Wight base.

Very nice property with a gorgeous garden. The only comment I would make is that it is not gated off from the road, so you need to keep an eye on young children at all times, although I appreciate the accommodation opens directly on to the garden. The location is fantastic. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful.

Lovely!
Well equipped accommodation in a really good location for practically everything. It was nice and clean and the hosts were extremely welcoming, even going as far as giving us some home grown veggies from their garden! They really did make us feel very welcome and very comfortable. They have a lovely garden which they were happy for us to enjoy. We loved the sheep too! This is the perfect base for any holidaying family and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

What a lovely cottage. It was everything we hoped for and more. Lovely and clean, plenty of space inside and a wonderfully big garden for the children to play in. Chris and Nicky were great hosts and couldn't do more for us. A great location to explore the beautiful island. We hope to return in the future!

Excellent host
Stay was very comfortable. The place was Beautiful. Very very kind and friendly. Couldn’t be more accommodating. Helped with one of the kids foot on arrival. Location was great for what we were doing and not far from anywhere on island. Would 100% recommend. My only reason I could not go back is the don’t have dogs to stay. We will be bringing dogs next time. But other than that. Fantastic stay.

A perfect break in the countryside
Very comfortable, modern accomodation. Well laid out. Chris and Nicky were so friendly and made us feel very welcome. Access to large attractive garden was the cherry on the top. Did not see the barn owls but heard them and knew they were there. But did hear skylarks and other birds. House excellently placed in rolling countryside but close to amenities and beaches. Thank you for a lovely stay, would love to return some time soon.

Fantastic location for Cyclists!
Impeccable 2 bedroom studio with kitchen and lounge set back from the road with lovely grounds and wildlife - and even a secure shed to keep the bikes.! Very comfortable long weekend, great communication and just 400 yards from the main cycle routes round the island or a short peddle to the beach at Ventnor or Shanklin. What more could you want!!

Lovely cosy cottage surrounded by beautiful garden. Met owner Nicky on check in. Lovely lady who was very helpful. We were let down by a taxi for a wedding at Appuldurcombe House and she very kindly gave us a lift. Everything in the cottage we needed and easy reach of attractions like Osbourne House, Carisbroke Castle. . Highly recommend.

Had a great week on the IOW in this excellent cottage. Well equipped with everything you will need for your stay. Chris and Nicky were always on hand for any problems ( there were none!) and the bonus was the huge garden with secluded patio area for the evening wine sessions! Ideally placed to explore the island and set in beautiful countryside within a short drive to the coast. Would definitely recommend. 5*
