We stayed at the cottage for a week in the cool winds of April but was perfectly cosy in the cottage. Brilliant to come back to and relax. Everything provided if you want to cook a full meal and plenty of videos and books to curl up with. The position is beautiful on the Downs with fantastic views but close to the Briddlesford Farm shop for supplieRead mores or a good meal. In fact being central we weren't far from anywhere: Osborne House, Steam Railway, The Garlic Farm (with red squirrels), Ventnor etc. Hide

1 Dores Hill Cottage is one that stands out from the crowd. The location is so peaceful and the cottage and garden are most attractive. There is real attention to detail, from the welcome pack, the blue tooth speaker, the kitchen, the night light in the bedroom, the decorations to make it feel festive.

A lovely cottage, beautifully restored and maintained by the owners with everything you could want while on holiday. Well located for visiting just about all the islands tourist attractions and even The Needles, the furthest away was less than an hour's drive. We were very impressed by the 'welcome pack' of milk, bread, wine, butter and a deliciousRead more cake, a lovely surprise. The cars coming and going to the Emporium nextdoor were rather annoying on the days it was open but we would return to No. 1 Hide

Second visit in nine months for us, which says it all. If you like a rural setting but easy access to the island's attractions then this is the place. The cottage is 17th century but has all the comforts and facilities we have come to expect in present times and in a peaceful location. A real joy and we will look forward to our next visit.
