We only stayed here for one night due to an incident at the cottage. We then asked to be moved. I am a bit confused by other reviews. Everyone says the double glazing hides the noise of the traffic. This is so far from the truth. It is all you can hear 24/7. It’s horrific. We didn’t sleep. You can near enough touch the lorries, buses that drive by all hours of the day. We live in the centre of a city and the noise is nothing compared to this. We couldn’t even hear the tv very well. This is definitely Not a holiday. There is no proper curtains so we had four blankets up at the windows trying to hide the sun and light so our daughter could sleep. The plastic sheet in the bathroom at the window flaps so anyone can see in. Surely window frosting would be better. The shower curtain was mouldy. The bedding is washed in something so strong it gave us headaches. The freezer was very dirty inside. One of the owners was so helpful and helped get an item to us so thank you. The other owner turned up at the property seemingly drunk. I think this cottage is beautiful but just in the wrong location.

Lovely little cottage in an extremely friendly Town.. Ideal for family, double bed and twin beds suitable for small adults/ children. The twin bedroom would have benefitted from a mirror and both bedrooms from black out blinds, especially the front bedroom which has a street light near by.

The cottage was ideally situated in Brading, never to far away from public transport.. The price of the cottage was very reasonable. It certainly exceeded all my expectations of the area & the cottage, also most of all my 2 cats absolutely loved it there, to them it was a home from home.

A lovely cottage well situated.. We enjoyed our stay and the weather was excellent. I will recommend the cottage in Brading and Sykes letting agents to family and friends. Thank you all very much

Mr Ball

Clean and comfortable with pleasant rear garden.. The front bedroom needs heavy curtains to reduce the light and noise from the busy main road through the village. The fact that the bathroom is downstairs needs pointing out on the listing because it is a pain having to traipse downstairs in the middle of the night should the need arise. A few extra kitchen utensils would be an advantage e.g. A fish slice and a decent French cook's knife. The large knife bends when trying to slice through onions, etc. The overnight hot water boiler makes too much noise and keeps a light sleeper awake. It has then to be turned off resulting in no hot water in the morning. Otherwise the cottage was fine and the owners were thoughtful enough to leave milk, coffee, tea, biscuits and even some treats for the dog.

The cottage was lovely-very comfortable and secure garden for the dogs.. However our experience was similar to other people who have commented on the road noise. We had to sleep with the bedroom window closed. Also some thick curtains would help in the bedroom to avoid car headlights as they come down the road. A minor point is that the rubber seal on the bathroom basin plug is missing which meant that the hard-earned water could not be retained in the sink.

Miss Venus

The cottage was absolutely lovely.. The decor was beautiful. Spotless. All the essentials available with some little extras which made our stay a pleasure. Travelled with my partner, 15yo son and dog. Just as advertised. Situated in the perfect spot for us. Brading high street is charming, so the little walks up the hill to the car park were a pleasure. Theres a playing field with a good track for a dog walk just up the hill off of The Mall. Private fenced/gated garden which was great. We only found Bembridge Beach (highly recommended) on our way home as we would have loved to of spent the whole day on this dog friendly beach. 15mins away from Weecot. Parked at the Tollgate Cafe and treated ourselves to coffee and cake after exploring in the rock pools and skimming stones. Wherever we travelled was not far from Weecot, although we didn’t mind the journeys as the scenery is stunning. My only two criticisms would be; although it didn’t bother me, my partner couldn’t seem to get used to the noise of the traffic on the high street. And secondly we had to hang a towel over the window in the bedroom as not to woken up with the 5am sunrise

Mr Morrow

Everything was perfect with the cottage.. We had such a comfortable stay and enjoyed our holiday thanks to such a lovely cottage. It’s perfectly located for days out with the family too. Definitely going to stay there again next year. Thank you Sykes

We have just returned from a fabulous week staying at Wee Cott in Brading.. The cottage was quaint & full of character. On arrival the directions were simple to follow & key collection information couldn’t have been easier. We were very grateful for the welcome treats. Parking was nearby & the arrangement with the pub next door for unloading was great. The garden was delightful. The weather was amazing & being able to sit out was a real treat. The cottage is well equipped with everything we needed. Wee Cott is on the main road & as it was so hot, we kept the window open. This meant there was road noise, but we were expecting it & it didn’t detract from our overall enjoyment of staying here. It is a 2 minute walk to the bus stop, so we took ourselves to our favourite IOW places by bus. The service is regular & £55 for a group of up to 5 for a week, it was fantastic value, meaning the car spent most of its time in the car park. The Costcutter over the road was good for essentials & the local pubs all get great write ups for food.

If you have a young family and a dog then look no further. 5 minutes walk to the train for Sandown in one direction, and 2 minutes up the main street in the other you'll find a modern family pub with an adventure playground. You are also literally opposite a great chippie and well stocked local store. Wee Cot is also perfectly located for driving to all the usual main attractions on the island. If you want something with class that is understated and quiet in terms of a dog friendly beach in the summer, head into Seagrove. Now the cottage... Everything is as you'd want it to be, secure garden, comfortable furniture, clean, etc. Our kids loved it. The owners are also very welcoming. They sorted out a cot and a high chair for us and even posted our 2 years olds' soft toy puppy back that we forgot!

We did nt expect the cottage to be LITERALY on l of the busiest roads on the island, CONSTANT traffic noise, day and NIGHT.. We are both slightly disabled, and the parking was TOO FAR AWAY from the cottage and UP A HILL, which was too much for my wife, this spoilt our holiday. We feel your description of this property needs to state that there is NO EASY PARKING at the cottage, and noise from traffic could be a problem. Had we known the true picture, we would not have chosen this property. You could also mention to the owners that in places the property is alittle shabby, weeds in the paths dont give good first impressions. Regrettably the wrong property for our needs.

I believe we were the first guests to stay in this newly renovated property, hence no previous reviews. The owners go overboard to make sure your stay is as comfy as possible. It's such a lovely cosy, homely cottage, 400 years old with all mod cons, everything you could possibly need, perfect for a family of 4 or a couple. We have absolutely no complaints at all! Loved it. In fact, we felt so much at home there that we didn't want to leave! Don't worry about the road in front of the property - it's not too busy and the double glazing shields most of any road noise. And it's only a 5 minute walk to a secure free parking site, and the pub next door lets you use their carpart to load and unload. Oh, and the pub's visitors must be mice, as we never heard a thing day or night. A really lovely little cottage that I highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our beautiful cottage! It has so much character, beautifully decorated and has that homely feeling. We would recoment it to anyone. Great location as well to explore the island, close to the ferry and to the beaches. Five star easily!
