Fabulous accommodation. The lovely hosts met us on arrival and showed us around, explaining how things worked. Everything in the lodge is top notch and spotlessly clean. Big thick fluffy white towels and gorgeous bedding that felt like new, everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and a lovely welcome pack of local products. We were there in very cold weather so made good use of the log burner, everything was supplied and it was easy to use. I absolutely recommend.

What a fabulous place! We loved the Old Cowshed. Beautifully comfortable with every conceivable modern convenience set in a gorgeous location. Izzy and Andy are wonderful hosts, and we would go back in a heartbeat. We had the best time. If it's your first time on the Isle of Wight, skip Newport in favour of Cowes :-)
