Mrs Thomas
August 2020
We had a fantastic week & enjoyed being close to various sights across the island.. The cottage was perfect, they provided all we needed and so much more. There were flowers, milk and a cake when we arrived, as well as handwash, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and some toiletries. The enclosed garden was huge & thoroughly enjoyed by us and our 5 year old twins. We’ve already booked for next year, can’t recommend it enough.

The Cart House was in a great location.. Extremely clean and had everything you could ever need including books, games, all the basic essentials and a kitchen with every pot, pan, dish or cooking item you would ever need. The owner was very friendly and made as feel very welcome. I would highly recommend this for a stay on the IOW.

Lovely friendly welcome from Julie the owner, also a tray set for us to enjoy a nice cup of tea and a beautiful home made cake, we sat in the garden and enjoyed the sunshine and the tea and cake.. The cottage has everything you need, you have heard of the saying "Everything but the kitchen sink", well this had the kitchen sink as well. The only thing you need to take is laundry detergent and fabric softener, this I guess is due to skin allergies. I would point out that the washing machine is just that, it is not a washer dryer, but that is not a problem, as there is a washing line with pegs, laundry basket and airers over the radiators for all your drying needs. We really enjoyed our stay here, so much so we are hoping to go back later in the year.

Larger property than expected.. It is excellent, very well equipped, friendly owners and plenty of space. 5-10 minutes in the car to Brighstone Car Park and shops and can then walk to the coast. We had a very enjoyable holiday in this cottage.

Our stay at the Cart House was very enjoyable, the cottage had everything we needed & was very comfortable with lovely views over the country side.. We were welcomed with a home made cake & milk for a very welcome cup of tea. Thank you

The Carthouse is on a working farm and the people who run it were very welcoming, and we had great pleasure in 'speaking' to the animals.. The Carthouse was immaculate with everything you would need, a home from home. A very large garden at the rear for children to play, and a patio with two bench tables. Rarely have we said we would return, but we will to The Carthouse.

This was the most well equipped kitchen I have ever stayed in. The whole cottage was lovely and want to return in the near future. Was so close to everything, so exploring the island was absolutely fantastic.

We were made most welcome from the moment we arrived. It was very well equipped to a high standard, the furniture was very comfortable and the rooms were spacious. It was also good to get free WiFi. There were a good selection of games and toys for children and there were also books to read and a selection of DVD's to watch if required. They also had a leaflet stand, stocked with ideas of were to go and what to do. We would recommend this property to anyone wishing to stay on the Isle of Wight.
