About this property

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.

Easter break

Great little holiday home. Set in amazing gardens which was the highlight. Children loved the two swing/hammocks in the garden.Gave 4 stars and not 5 as the mattresses were not the most comfortable.

Family Trip

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.

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.

Lovely place to stay for a family holiday

The back garden is a fantastic space for children to run around, relax, play and see the sheep and chickens. The property was clean and well equipped, and the location great for heading out any direction on the island. Lovely, friendly hosts. We enjoyed our stay here so much last year that we came again this summer too.

Wonderful stay

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!

Comfortable cottage stay , centrally located

We had a very enjoyable stay at Barrow Cottage just outside of Godshill in the centre of The Island. The accommodation is compact with everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. It was clean and modern and the owners were great to deal with . The garden was a great plus, being big and attractive. We will certainly consider returning in the near future.

Lovely stay

The annex to Barrow Cottage was in an excellent location for travelling around the Island. The garden was an added bonus as well and our son loved running around it and riding his bike. It was comfortable and clean. Would definitely recommend. We intend to return in the future.

Lovely holiday

We loved staying here. The annex is bright and comfortable with everything you need. The views to the garden and fields beyond are beautiful and relaxing, The children loved the trampoline, hammocks and various animals. Chris and Nicky were extremely helpful but not at all obtrusive. We definitely intend to come again.

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.

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!!

Outstanding cottage in a great location

Great stay! The house has everything a family needs for a good stay on the island. Nicky and Chris are so thoughtful and make sure you have all essentials. Our children loved to play in the wonderful garden. A toy broke - and Nicky and Chris provided a new one immediately! Godshill is a great base for the IOW, and we would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking in this area. Thank you for your hospitality - we would definitely stay again!

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.
