The cottage was small and compact but perfectly formed The beach has been ravaged by the sea and is now a pile of rocks Overall the cottage is perfect for a couple and the views amazing Very clean and comfortable We would certainly book again in the future and Sykes will be the preferred choice

The location was fantastic.. If I could change anything I would increase the wifi speed and maybe put curtains at front door instead of blinds, more dog friendly. It was very good value for money. Thanks

The cottage is tiny and this needs to be covered in the description - the lack of space has been commented on with several other reviews.. The whole ground floor is approx 7m x 3m and he conservatory is the living room - again not made clear. The place is very basic, no tea or coffee, no instructions for anything - although there is very little to say! Several of the remote control buttons for the TV don't work at all - like the on off button for instance! The bathroom is super, super tiny and you best stay with someone you know well as you can only really dry yourself from a shower out of the bathroom - and it is easier to get up from the loo with the door open as the sink gets in the way otherwise The place is tired and could do with some tlc. The bed is very basic - no sprung mattress, and a very thin mattress so not very comfortable and the duvet only just came over the edges! No frills, very basic

Comfortable cosy cottage, small bathroom, but ok.. Lovely spot to explore the Isle of Wight, we had a lovely week in September.

We stayed here for 2 weeks in August 2019 (my husband, myself and a staffie).. Excellent base for exploring. Very quiet and peaceful location with views over the sea. Although compact, there was everything you needed (small TV, cooker, oven, microwave, toaster) plus some extra touches such as toilet paper, washing up liquid and tea towels which were lovely. The bedding and towels were changed weekly which, again, was brilliant. The bathroom was only small with a shower cubicle but we managed. The family who run this cottage were around if needed and were always friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this cottage if visiting the Isle of Wight.

The owners were there on arrival but that was the last we saw of them.. The property is tiny. This is not adequately covered in the description. The top-level description (Sykes Cottages) says that there is bathroom. This is in fact a tiny area (approx 8'x 3') housing the shower, a very small wash basin and the toilet. There were no tools for the BBQ that we could find (and no charcoal). The description talks of a "fantastic sitting area in a conservatory". This is in fact a tiny space into which is crammed a 2-seat settee, a TV on a display unit, and a small side table. The roof probably leaks as the tape that attaches the plastic roof to the support beams is coming away. The description says there is a "kitchen and dining area" - true but again very tiny with a circular table only about 3' across and two basic chairs, and nowhere to prepare food. The owners did not explain how to use wifi or the TV, and this information was missing from the information book. We worked out how to use the wifi on the second day of our stay, but we were unable to work out how to play a DVD. Most of the furnishings are looking dated. The location is however idyllic if you like walking and sea views.

This cottage is in a wonderful location with spectacular views and the surrounding area is superb for walking and enjoying local attractions.. The owners are very friendly. However, the cottage itself is extremely uncomfortable due to the very old furniture and badly designed layout. The kitchen was ill equipped, we ended up buying extra equipment in order to prepare a meal. The living area which is actually a conservatory had no comfy seating and the underfloor heating was broke. The owner did bring a large heater which was fine although took up valuable space in the tiny room. The bathroom was OK although very small but the shower leaked terribly making the floor very wet. We Had thankfully brought our own fold down tables otherwise there would have been nowhere for any meal prep or to eat a meal. The bed gave us both back ache and the extremely old quilt was So Heavy we could not use it. This is definitely a summer cottage for people who like sitting and dining out.

A very small basic cottage not really suitable for a disabled person.. The facilities within the cottage were inadequate, the shower was tight to get into and leaked, the dining table and chairs were small, metal and uncomfortable and the conservatory furniture was shabby and sagged. We did have fantastic weather and really enjoyed Ventnor. The cottage was ideally situated for touring the island and visiting the many antique shops and eating establishments. I am sure ideal too for able bodied visitors as the coastal path and local bays looked very beautiful even though we could not walk down to them.

The cottage really needs some tarting up as the paintwork and decor was a little tired.. The location was fantastic and the views amazing. The proprietors were very welcoming and helpful. We are so desperate to go back to the Isle of Wight it was amazing.

May 2018
We were a bit disappointed with the cottage.. The sitting room /conservatory was very small and very hot. The kitchen has nowhere to put food or anywhere to prepare meals and as this is advertised as self-catering you would expect to be able to do these things. I am not a large person but if I was the shower room would be a nightmare. The whole place is tired and needs a good clean, just because we have a dog that doesn't mean we are not clean and my small dog is well trained. I spent my first day cleaning. The only good thing about the cottage was the location.
Mr Arnold

The cottage was excellent for us, definitely well situated for dog walks.. However would not be suitable for less able bodied as access to cottages up a few steps. Very bad internet connection and phone signal. Having said that probably the most peaceful holiday we have ever had. Perfect.
Mr Bell
March 2018
The cottage was just perfect for the two of us and our dog.. It was warm and cosy underfloor heating down stairs and an independent radiator in the bedroom. A lovely sea view, when the sun goes down there is no light pollution so you can see the moon and stars on clear nights. If it's peace and quiet you are looking for then you will find it here.

Cosy cottage with a hill behind and lovely view of the sea.. Our GSD loved the field that we could use, as long as you don't go near the sheep!

The cottage was smaller than I had anticipated but it did not affect our holiday .. It had a perfect setting with amazing views the owners were lovely and made us feel very welcome

The cottage, though small was perfect for my husband, dog and I.. It was peaceful, relaxing break. I would highly recommend this cottage or any of the others located there
Mr Peters, March 2017

The cottage is in a fabulous location, and is just ideal for a couple with a pet, as the coastal path is within walking distance.. The owner's brochure gave good information about the local amenities, although there was no information about bin collection days, (perhaps they put them out at the end of the letting). Also, due to the size of the property there was no hoover on site, so we were unable to clean up before we left, but once again I suspect that this was done by the cleaning lady on the changeover date.

The cottage is situated in the most picturesque environment, looking across a field to the sea. The coastal path is right on the doorstep, perfect for walking and exploring. The peace, tranquillity and beauty of the area is priceless. The cottage was absolutely fine for us, the outdoor area with barbecue is a bonus. Sitting with a glass of something ice cold watching passing boats and ships adds to this relaxing little retreat. We would highly recommended.

Fisherman's Cottage and the surroundings were perfect for us. We were right next to the coastal footpath and the two small beaches were ideal. The Cottage was not too big, just nice and comfortable, we enjoyed our stay very much. We love the Isle of Wight and what it has to offer and it was made even better with the accommodation we had.
