Staying on the Isle of Wight.

Had a relaxing stay at this B&B. Our hosts very friendly and very helpful. The cabin in the garden was a quiet place to relax and see the wildlife. Even saw red squirrels in the garden. The location was ideal for walking into Cowes for an evening. Would recommend.

A 10/10 Stay

From arrival to departure Jonathan, Melissa and Magnus (The Dog) were the most wonderful hosts. We stayed in the Fat Badger Hut which was absolutely stunning, the bed was the cosiest thing ever and the room was well decorated. Breakfast was delicious and filling. The little things including the beautifully lit garden with fairy lights and water features plus our hosts hospitality was unquestionably outstanding. This was a truly perfect staycation. We will definitely be going back.

OK for one night, but not suitable for a week.

It was nice, but the room was on the small side and there was nowhere to hang things up, some hooks on the door would have been helpful when we were trying to dry our wet clothes.

We loved our stay. We were in the Fat Badger room in the garden. It is a tranquil oasis. The owners are so kind and can’t do enough to help. Breakfast is delicious with lots of local produce. One of the nicest places I have stayed in a very long while.
