Helen and Paul were the perfect hosts, always there when needed, very much in the background otherwise.. On arrival we found the cottage to be spotlessly clean, we did find a couple of that my wife needed, but when asked Helen delivered them to the door within five minutes.
The caught the sun all day, making it a very pleasant place to sit, and enjoy the views of the surrounding countryside. We very quickly made friends with Helen's ponies, especially when they found that we had apples.
To summarise we had a great stay in very pleasant surroundings.

Lovely, friendly hosts, there but non-intrusive.. Bed is so comfortable!!
A great size unit, plenty of space.
Very good quality of materials used throughout, my favourite being their internal barn style doors!
Clever referencing of their former use as stables.
Beautifully quiet, great vistas, love seeing the woolly sheep grazing outside:)
Very quick and easy to visit other destinations...some very picturesque roads to travel on.
Thoroughly recommend this delightful and carefully planned holiday home/s....food for the soul/spirit.

We were greeted by the owner, who made us feel very welcome, and gave us useful tips about the area.. The cottage was very spacious, with all the amenities that we would expect. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well maintained. The cottage is set in a quiet rural area, with a small private back garden, with sun loungers, table and chairs, looking out onto open fields, and a beautiful panoramic view across the countryside. A superstore ten minutes drive away. Highly recommended.

Owners of property were excellent and very helpful.. Cottage was of very high standard , cleanliness, equipment,decoration,facilities. The best cottage we have rented.
The general situation of the cottage is ideal if you want a quiet time and not far to drive to town, about 5 mins drive. We can highly recommend this property and the owners should be congratulated on the property.

We had the most amazing 5 nights stay at 3 The Stables.. The cottage was extremely cosy and had all that we needed to enjoy a very comfortable stay.
With stunning views to wake up to, plus having the lovely animals so close to our garden made it so special.
Helen was so very helpful regarding anything we needed during our stay and was happy to to take time to have a friendly chat over the fence while she looked after the animals & the fields.
We will definetely come back!
Many many thanks.

It was our first time on the Isle of Wight, we found the cottage superb, it was comfortable and very well equipped.. Helen and Paul were very welcoming, explaining everything to us and were happy to recommend places we might like but also showed an interest in where we had been. Nothing was too much trouble. The views were fantastic which made it a pleasure to sit on the patio at any time of day. We feel that this was one of the best holidays we have had. We hope to return.

A lovely quiet location with a great view over fields, woodland to the sea on the east of the island. The property was spotlessly clean and well equipped as a holiday cottage. The owners were helpful and friendly offering advice about good pubs to visit, and places to visit. Nothing was too much trouble. A really excellent retreat, with good access to all the island.

If you want peace and quiet, 3 The Stable is the place to go. Lovely views. The owners live next door and were very helpful. Although we were next door, the garden was secluded so we never saw them. Would certainly recommend.

We booked this cottage as our first family holiday with our daughter, 7 months old. We were going to book a caravan on a holiday park but after so many poor reviews we began to look at cottages. We spotted this cottage and due to the brilliant reviews we booked it, our only concern was whether it would meet our expectations - and it did!
The cottage is great, great location, has everything you need and is spotlessly clean. Helen and family were very welcoming and friendly - we were so grateful of the travel cot, highchair and baby bath. Even the slight accident on the duvet cover didn't cause an issue, we felt so at home.
We enjoyed exploring the island - we'd recommend visiting "the needles", the donkey sanctuary at Wroxhall, the steam railway, Amazon zoo, Rosemary vineyard - and if you're in Ventnor check out Golden Sands Cafe overlooking the sea for a great lunch at a great price.
We've fell in love with the island and will definitely be back - staying here!

The property is quite comfortable and well-appointed, but our stay there was spoiled by problems we experienced with a faulty fridge/freezer and my complaint centres upon this and the attitude of the landlady and her husband in dealing with it.
From arrival on Saturday 27th September 2014, this appliance had regularly made loud knocking/vibrating noises involving about 30 minute runs in every hour which made our time spent in the cottage very unpleasant. Mercifully, sleeping was not affected as we were able to block out the noise by fully closing the bedroom door. The fridge/freezer did function, but these ongoing noises were very intrusive and unacceptable which spoiled our evening “relaxing time” particularly because the cottage layout is an open kitchen/lounge design.
When our first 24 hours had not seen a spontaneous improvement we reported the fault to the landlady, on Monday morning. She and her husband visited that evening but nothing was done about it until, on Wednesday evening the landlord offered us an engineers visit on Thursday morning during a “window” of 7.00 a.m. to 11.00 a.m.!! We were unwilling to get up earlier than normal just to await a possible repair visit when this could easily have been done when we were always out and about approximately 10.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m. each day. We were on holiday, after all!! If this is an example of the service offered by their repair contract then perhaps they should negotiate a more user-friendly one!!
On leaving the accommodation on Saturday morning the problem still had not been rectified and thus we had to put up with this during our whole holiday.
We are very disappointed that this problem spoiled part of our holiday and that such an avoidable annoyance was not sorted out in a satisfactory and considerate manner. We feel that the owners should be more interested in the overall comfort of their tenants - it is after all a holiday rental!!

We had never been to the Isle of Wight before, but our experience at The Stables means we are very keen to return. We were given a warm welcome by the owners who were very helpful throughout our stay, but were never intrusive. The cottage is perfect for a couple. All the facilities are in excellent condition and its location is wonderful. The view from the rear of the cottage is hugely relaxing and we were lucky enough with the weather to be able to sit out and eat breakfast on the patio most mornings. In terms of its situation on the island, everywhere was well within reach, with a journey into Ryde only taking a few minutes. We both feel that the cottage is excellent value for money.
