The Stables was clean, comfortable and better than we expected.. It was ideally situated for many attractions.
The owner was very helpful, nothing was too much trouble.
The Isle of Wight is a wonderful place to visit with many places to see and things to do.

We only had a brief weekend visit to this wonderful place, and only wished we could have stayed longer.. Everything from start to finish whilst staying at 1 The Stables was just perfect. We were met by friendly and helpful host Helen on arrival and she showed us around the chalet and gave us advice on getting from A to B.
The chalet itself had all the facilities you need with an abundance of crockery, and household utensils, pots, pans, picnic plates...you name it, they were there so nothing was needed.
There was a lovely bottle of wine for us on arrival along with biscuits, milk, tea and coffee. The beds were comfortable and the whole place was immaculate.
Can't wait to re-visit, and we will !

This cottage was a 'home from home' it was lovely, Mr and Mrs Wilkes were very welcoming with Mr Wilks taking the time to explain best time to drive to shop and best route to take to avoid roadworks.. We had no problems with appliances etc...

We felt rather bombarded by your emails so have now unsubscribed.. Reluctant therefore to recommend Sykes as an organisation although your cottages are good, and we can recommend them!
Where we stayed was lovely and the hosts were great.

This small but well equipped two-bedroom cottage suited me perfectly.. The location close to Ryde and yet in the countryside was ideal and it was a good launch point for my activities which involved walking and sight-seeing. I was able to return home to warm rooms, comfy furniture, Netflicks, great cooking facilities and constant hot water and then retire to one of the best beds I have ever slept in. Hosts were on-site but never intrusive. The IoW recycling system is rather complicated but there were plenty of instructions on how to get it right for collection day. There was a good parking spot and, had it been suitable weather, there was a small garden with BBQ. Outside lights were handy for the nights drawing in and I particularly liked the patio doors - these would be a boon in the summer. My bedroom had plenty of storage, a great dressing table/desk and loads of power sockets. The towels were a decent size and the shower had a strong flow of water. Finding wine, water and beer in the fridge was a lovely touch and I would return to this location and accommodation.

Fantastic place to stay 5 *****
Cottage is lovely, has everything you need and spotlessly clean.. Location is also fantastic, very peaceful.
The owners Helen and Paul are very friendly and accommodating, They even took us to meet their ponies and sheep and also gave us a few idea of things to do on our holiday.
Perfect in every way.

The instructions on how to get there are inaccurate.. It is not 0.2 miles from the roundabout - more like 150 yards.

We booked this place pretty much exclusively because we saw there were miniature horses on the property. The owner was very kind and took us out to meet them, as well as all the sheep. Some were still quite young and they have a wide range of sheep breeds, so that actually turned out to be quite a treat as well! The property is very quiet (I didn’t hear anyone from the other cottages) and had ample parking. The owners were very clear that we should ask for anything that we need and very hospitable. They provided a fan as it was very hot, and there’s a communal laundry facility you can use where they provide soap. There was milk, tea, cocoa, sugar, etc in the kitchen and a decent size fridge and freezer. We didn’t have a problem getting anywhere on the island from here. Would recommend!

Modern and spotlessly clean accommodation.. Extremely comfortable beds. Cosy for October and did not need heating on even though the end of the week cooled down. Seat pads on the dining chairs would have been nice on the wooden chairs. Quiet location and no noise from adjoining cottage. Only cottage that has provided a thermometer in the fridge. I usually take my own! Easy access to hypermarket and Fishbourne ferry. As birders and nature lovers I.o.W. is superb.

My wife and I went to the Isle of Wight for a week to chill out and relax, and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay than The Stables! This vacation rental is in amazing condition, and has all the amenities you could ask for. As nice as it was though, the best part of the property was the horse farm! The owners Helen and Paul were very friendly, and they let my wife and I pet and play with their adorable Shetland ponies and their beautiful horse Whisper. The ponies were sooooo cute and friendly, especially the redhead Amber. Every morning, we started the day by feeding apples to the Shetland ponies and Whisper. It was magical. This rental property is a must for any animal lovers visiting the Isle of Wight. You will absolutely LOVE it there. We did.

Have just spent only three days at this cottage with our three year old granddaughter and my 75 year old Mum but would definitely like to return. We received the warmest of welcomes from the owners - and their five ponies - much to the delight of our granddaughter. The cottage is in its first season as a holiday let but has been so well thought out in its design and decor and the outside space is both peaceful and safe for little ones. Any help we required was provided in the most friendly and helpful way possible by the owners and we would love to bring our whole family here as you can hire all three cottages together.
