Lavender Cottage

I’ve stayed at many properties, and this one is good to look at as it is so old, but the comfort is not so good. The house is ideal as being so close to the manor. We stayed here for my daughter’s wedding, with my sister's husband upstairs and my family downstairs, The problems I had were the side gate open, and the shower not easy to use. The shower head small water goes on to window may be a curtain up, The beds are cricked, single not comfortable bedding cheap, need nice large towels, no welcome pack milk bread butter etc as there no shops near? There is tea coffee sugar The garden lovely but no relaxing chairs. Blind up at the back door window, The ducks are great. This house is clean just needs a few bits upgraded to make it more comfortable. Also, need to cover the water drain by the chair's table my grandson fell in it a few times you can get a plastic covering to go around. Some fly screens over windows upstairs to stop mosquitoes, as we were bitten.

Property was clean and fresh. It's a lovely quaint cottage with all mod cons. Loved listening to the ducks in the evening and in morning. The only downside is there isn't a corner shop nearby for any last minute or forgotten items. There is however an Aldi and Morrisons not far by bus with stops outside so ideal if you don't drive. Would highly recommend and will be booking again. Thank you xx

We stayed at the cottage between Christmas and new year 2024 and were completely charmed by it. Its a lovely place, full of history and quirks which we loved. We visit the IOW as often as we can and haven't stayed here before but will stay again. The location is perfect, close to everything and being on site at Arreton Barns means that you have immediate access to the restaurant and bar (The Dairymans Daughter) and you also have the White Lion a few steps away which is lovely. We brought our 2 dogs with us for the first time and this cottage is PERFECT for dogs. It has a lovely big enclosed garden which they loved and it was so easy to just let them in to the garden and not worry about them getting out, One thing I would say is that the owners of the cottage ask you to not let dogs in to the bedrooms,which is easy enough with the downstairs bedrooms as they have doors, but it is quite hard to keep them out of the upstairs bedroom when there isn't a stair gate so that was quite stressful at times. We travelled with our son and his girlfriend (adults) and our 10 year old daughter and there was plenty of space, the two bedrooms downstairs are comfortable and situated so that they both have privacy from each other. The bedroom upstairs is lovely. The only comments I would make about the cottage is that it doesn't have a freezer or freezer compartment so I am not sure how this would work if you stayed for longer than a few days and in the summer particularly. Also, the way the lounge is laid out with the beam in the middle of the room means that it can be quite tight in the main room when you are all in there. It would probably benefit from a smaller / folding table and chairs (there were a lot of dining chairs) and also a (larger) smart TV. The shower was very hit and miss as well. The WIFI in the cottage was excellent. It had everything we needed - Towels, bedding, tea towels, cleaning products etc. and everything was immaculately clean. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
