Lovely spacious accommodation in a fabulous position near quaint coves but easy walk into Ventnor.. Would definitely recommend.

We loved it! We really enjoyed this holiday. You have the sea on one side and long walks on the other. Kids also loved playing on the field in front of the cottage and few animals. Water in the sea was cold but we got use to it. Lots of beautiful beaches around. I would just recommend to take your swimming shoes with you as they are rocky. I have to say I enjoy the holiday more than some abroad. It was very peaceful and social distancing was easy. The owners were very welcoming.

Great holiday cottage with lots of coastal path walks, you would have to be sure footed to make it down to the beach.. The only bad experience we had was having a pet friendly cottage opposite ours, you couldn’t make a move without this little dog yapping his head off.

The cottage is spacious and comfortable and well equipped.. You need to be able to walk well to get to the beach as the path is a bit steep. A wide variety of activities within easy reach and beautiful scenery around the coast and inland. The phone number you gave me to contact the owners about our arrival was for a different property!!

Very peaceful location.. Need a car. We had bad and good weather. Isle of Wight a lovely area to explore with plenty of good pubs and restaurants. Good walking and beaches.

First of all I should say that we had a good holiday.. And, I should add that the property was clean, and reasonably well equipped. The location is amazing, and our host was very helpful and friendly. Most things worked well, and I would not like this to come across as a negative review, for it is not. However, there are some things that could have been better, as I will explain below. 1. We booked this accommodation because my elderly mother cannot manage steps. The downstairs bathroom and downstairs bedroom were necessary. However, what is not evident on the photographs, nor in the description, is that there are significant steps between the bedroom and the bathroom, the lounge and the bathroom, and from the parking area for the cars up to the path to the cottage. This made the situation very challenging for my mother. We had to bring one of the single beds into the lounge. 2. The mattress upstairs was lumpy, and uncomfortable and the bed squeaked loudly. I could not sleep on it. I had to take cushions from the downstairs sofa, lay them on the floor upstairs and sleep on the floor. 3. The Wi-Fi is woeful. It reminds us of the days of dial-up. It might as well not be there. Advertising it when it doesn't really work is not advisable. 4. The description should say, somewhere, that the mobile signal is highly variable. 5. The door from the lounge to the patio is very hard to lock and unlock. It has warped. I was the only person in our party of four who was strong enough to pull the door into the right position to lock and unlock it. 6. A few smaller issues: there is a teapot, but no tea strainer; we needed a brush for washing up; the blind in the upstairs bedroom was broken; As I mentioned earlier, most things worked well. The TV was fine, as were the iron and ironing board, shower, the cooker, the fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, crockery etc. All the best, Malcolm

A great place to stay, Penny was very helpful and we had a dream vacation..

The patio is across from a tiny cottage for two.. Because of the heat, they had their door open all the time and the t.v. on. This made us feel uncomfortable on our patio.

Quiet location, comfortable, well equipped cottage..

The Lobster Pot is a spacious, comfortable and well-equipped cottage, set in an excellent location.. Just a short walk through the field brings you to the coastal path, with a lovely walk to Ventnor. On the way, it is worth calling at the Crab Shed for a delicious crab sandwich or crab pasty and, if you like seafood, Ventnor is renowned for its excellent lobster. The cottage is peaceful - surrounded by farmland, and a view of the sea, but close enough to the main road to make it easy to enjoy some drives to The Needles, the Tennyson Monument and nearby Shanklin, amongst others. I had never visited the Isle of Wight before, but certainly hope to return.

Fantastic holiday in the Lobster Pot.. Owners could not do enough to make our stay comfortable and supplied two travel cots and highchairs and stairgates for 2 year old twins. Lovely accommodation for a family and very well equipped. Lovely location and the rest of the family rented the other two cottages so made a brilliant family holiday with all separate facilities.
