We had a wonderful stay at Grove Barn! The location is absolutely excellent – peaceful yet close to everything we wanted to see on the Isle of Wight. The house itself is spotless, beautifully maintained, and feels so welcoming from the moment you arrive. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged, making it easy to relax and enjoy our holiday. We’d definitely love to stay here again and would highly recommend Grove Barn to anyone visiting the island.

Such a lovely home from home, a lot of love and care has gone into making it a beautiful place to stay!The hamper was just amazing and to have one for the doggies too was such a lovely touch.In a central location to explore everywhere on the island. The beds were so comfy and we slept like a dream! The hot tub was an added bonus, just the perfect temperature!
