About this property

The Brew House contains a comfortable living room with oak floor, inglenook fireplace (with bread oven) and Charnwood wood-burning stove. The dining table seats four, but there are extra chairs if needed. A fully equipped kitchen also contains a dining table.There are two bedrooms, the twin room accessed through the main bedroom, making this an ideal arrangement for children. In the twin room there is a proper wooden cot in addition to two single beds. (We can accommodate up to two children plus one infant). The main bedroom has a king-size double bed. Linens are all new and of excellent quality and beds will be made up for you on arrival. Your electricity is powered by the Isle of Wight sunshine, as we have a good solar installation here for the whole house. The biomass boiler provides plenty of warmth in the winter and there's always lots of hot water too! We have recently been awarded a Gold award for Isle of Wight Green Tourism. There is plenty of information in The Brew House of the many, many attractions and activities on the Isle of Wight, and we are usually around too, to give ideas and recommendations. We also have a selection of bikes (including a tandem), a sit-on-top kayak and wetsuits that we are happy for you to borrow. Please note that in the high season (July and August ) bookings are for full weeks only, Friday - Friday.

A lovely place to stay

Ali gave us a very warm welcome and was really helpful during our stay. The Brew House was comfortable and full of character, peaceful too. We were left a very generous assortment of goodies and especially loved the homemade cake. We would certainly recommend the property and hope to return.

Perfect family holiday

Ali and David are wonderful hosts and the property is so welcoming and perfect for a family. From the home baked treats in the welcome basket to the fabulous selection of toys and games for the kids, we couldn't have stayed somewhere lovelier or better equipped! The location was great as a base to explore the island from and it was lovely to return each evening to the comfy sofas or chill out in the courtyard garden. Fantastic!

Wonderful Cottage

Perfectly equipped location for 4 persons. Lovely owners who showed us their terrific private garden. The helped us finding the least expensive ferry. Closely located to Sandown and beach. Great sights nearby (all less than 30mins car drive). Has great potential that we'll come back, since one week wasn't enough for beautiful IoW.

Perfect

The property was full of character and extremely well equipped. The beds were really comfortable so we slept very well. It’s set in a country lane so very peaceful and the courtyard garden was lovely. The welcome pack was full of delicious homemade goodies. We are still enjoying the lovely blackcurrant jam. Our hosts couldn’t have done more to make our stay perfect

Beautiful cottage - perfect location

We spent a glorious 5 days staying at the Brew House. Ali is a fabulous host and was always incredibly helpful both by email and in person. Both Ali and David could not have been more welcoming and provided us with not only all the essentials you could need (including olive oil and eggs!) but a delicious cake and even bikes for us all. The house is ideal for a family and my 7 and 4 year old loved all the toys and their cosy room. The location was perfect for the island - within 20 minutes of most sightseeing places. We definitely hope to be back! Thank you!

The Brew House is a delightful little gem, booking the property was very easy too. Ali & David simply couldn’t of offered more. We will most definitely revisit again next year & recommend others to do the same - simply wonderful.

‘Just felt like home’

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Ali and David are outstanding hosts. During our stay my 7 year old said ‘why does it feel like home?’. As soon as you walk through the cottage door you will feel relaxed and ready to enjoy your stay. The welcome basket really made us smile and we quickly cracked open the bubbles and enjoy the homemade flapjacks.

Our stay at The Brewhouse

This was one of the best holiday experiences I’ve had first because the Brewhouse is a beautifully designed 17 c cottage with every care taken to provide for your stay but also our hosts, Ali and David, surpassed all expectations in looking after us. They couldn’t have been more hospitable: transporting us to and fro from the Ferry, sorting bikes for us to borrow and giving us a lovely welcome basket of homemade goodies to start our time there. Close to the Red Squirrel cycle trail it’s an excellent spot from which to explore the beautiful IOW countryside.

Perfect cottage for a family getaway

Perfect cottage for a family getaway on the Isle of Wight. Ali and family are very welcoming hosts, with a beautiful welcome basket provided and help with any info needed. We stayed with our 3 yr old and the property had literally everything you would want to make you feel comfortable and safe with a little one- enclosed courtyard garden, stair gates, bed rails, highchair and a treasure trove of toys to keep them occupied! Perfectly situated on the island for easy access to lots of local attractions, would recommend to anyone looking for a home away from home!

Fantastic!

From the moment we booked Ali couldn't have been more helpful. From sorting the ferry to sending welcoming texts. Then on our arrival the little extras including all the immediate essentials together with cake & jam made our stay at the Brew House all the more special. David organised the bikes for all five of us at a moments notice which was so kind. We would definitely recommend this beautiful cottage.

Peaceful Abode

Everything about The Brew House was perfect for our brief stay and if time permitted we would have stayed longer. From the delicious welcoming basket to the comfortable beds and hot shower it was great to come ‘home’ after a day’s exploration and relax in such peaceful surroundings. And I was lucky enough to spot a red squirrel in the garden! There is a very useful compendium of the owner’s favourite places to visit and the local pub and farm shops lived up to the recommendations. Do yourself a favour and book the Brew House.

A wonderful week in the Isle of Wight

I have just spent a fantastic week with my family at The Brewhouse, Isle of Wight.. Ali Cripps, the owner, was very welcoming and supplied some tasty treats for us, including home -made cake! The Brewhouse was spotless and very well equipped, particularly for my 2 year old granddaughter who loved all the toys and puzzles available. The location is incredibly peaceful and we were fortunate with the weather so made the most of enjoying breakfast in the delightful courtyard garden. The Brewhouse is well-placed to easily access the Islands many attractions and we had some great days out. All in all a perfect summer holiday!

Quintessential English Cottage

The Brewhouse is without a doubt one of the nicest rental properties we have ever stayed in. It is beautifully decorated, kitted out with everything you could need - plus lots of other unique touches and in a gorgeous setting of the owner's beautiful garden. The owner had thoughtfully left us with lots of lovely supplies such as milk, eggs, butter and even a cake The cottage was lovely and warm and the beds comfy. It really felt like a home rather than a holiday rental. The owner was lovely, thoughtful and communicative. Can't wait to go back!

A stunning property in a beautiful setting. Ideal location for exploring the Isle of Wight

A fantastic property in a beautiful rural location. Stayed for 3 days with my 70+ yr old mother and 2 young children. The brew house was very comfortable and very well equipped and Ali had provided a welcome basket with delicious home baked cake and treats and local produce. Ali and David were wonderful hosts, helpfully recommending places to visit and dine at. They provided buckets and spades and fishing nets for the children to use and equipped us with bikes and helmets to explore the stunning local countryside. We would definitely recommend staying at the Brew house at any time of the year and we would love to return again.

About the host

Hosted by Ali Cripps

We (David and Ali Cripps, with our youngest son James) live at Knighton Farmhouse, and the Brew House forms the east 'wing' of the farmhouse. We have lived here since our return to the UK from several years in both Canada and the USA. We love running the Brew House as a holiday cottage, and many of our guests have become friends. We know the Island very well (Ali grew up here) and as we both work from home, are usually around to give advice and ideas of good local places to visit.

Why they chose this property

We love the area - peaceful and rural, yet easy access to everywhere.

What makes this property unique

The Grade II listed cottage is steeped in history, with exposed beams and many original features, including the bread oven in the Inglenook fireplace.
