The host (Sarah) was friendly, attentive and very helpful offering a range of recommendations to help us with our first visit to the Isle of Wight.
A true delight to talk to and an even better cook as you find with the sublime breakfast that is provided each morning.
The house was beautiful and felt like a home away from home. Comfortable, clean and spacious you are able to unplug and wind down in any of the rooms at Stroud House.

Friendliness of the hosts; peaceful location - off the beaten track so nice and quiet. Accessible for us as non-car users - we had to use buses to get here from Ryde, and to visit other places around the Island - we had no problems. The 15-20 minute walk from Totland War Memorial bus stop (it got shorter as we got used to the route!) was OK for us - even on the one day it was raining all the way from the bus stop we didn't get too wet. And it was not a problem to walk back to the B & B in the dark, as we didn't need to do that until we had already walked back from the bus stop several times in the daylight. Loved the chance to see the red squirrels feeding in the garden - an unexpected bonus not anticipated before we arrived and were told to look out for them. We enjoyed eating at the Highdown Inn (just round the corner from the B & B so easy to get back home in the dark) - staff and customers there were all very friendly (and when it was busy the sfaff worked their socks off!) and also enjoyed the Waterfront restaurant location and food (although the service was a bit patchy).

The town centre is away from the beach.
The town centre is away from the beach. There is an excellent cafe about 5mins walk away. It is The Piano cafe and I can highly recommend it.
The Dimbola is an interesting museum and also has a good cafe but it gets very busy.

Only downside was the weather but that was to be expected. Many things were closed or had limited access due to poor weather and flooding, again this down to nature, not human failure. Loved the Isle and so much to visit and see. Locals very friendly and you feel safe there, a lovely atmosphere everywhere.

The location is excellent and a good starting point for cycling and walking. The apartment is spacious for two people and is well-equipped. With the windows open, you're close enough to hear the waves on the shore.
TIPS: Take an eye mask for sleeping if you prefer sleeping in after 5 am!
There is a super pizza van across the road - highly recommend - check for opening times. The same applies to a Travelling Bar on a bus it is situated close to the beach - 5 mins walk.
If you like good coffee - take your own Nespresso machine (we did!)

You don't go to Freshwater Bay for attractions, it is quiet and a bit run down, but there are other seasides close. Really great attractions like Alum Bay, The Old Battery, Tennyson Down, Yarmouth etc. are close by. Interesting town centre which is long and has individual shops, places for coffee, fish and chips etc as well as several major supermarkets.
The bungalow is airy, spacious, very well kitted out - even trays provided to carry food outdoors to eat - and situated in a peaceful lane, 10 minutes walk from the Bay, overlooking a field. There are plenty of places - front and back - to choose from to sit outside. A well-stocked corner shop is 5 mins walk away.
The care which Carol and Brian take to ensure that EVERYTHING is spotlessly clean meant we had no health and safety concerns in this current Covid climate.
Our stay in Freshwater was greatly enhanced by the care and attention provided by Sarah. The breakfasts were imaginative as well as delicious and Sarah's local knowledge invaluable in preventing us from getting lost on our walks. Stroud House is an interesting property full of items which were exactly to our taste. This is not your regular B&B and would suit those who are happy to settle themselves into accomodation that provides interest and comfort.

The accommodation was easy to find in Freshwater, nice to see the signposts showing the way. I loved the fact that it was only a few minutes walk away from the beach. Some restaurants for food/drink and it was a nice walk along the beach watching the boats.
The cottage itself was amazing, very spacious and with nice comfy beds. Even though all cottages were quite close together you still had a good sense of privacy.
Rockstone cottage is perfectly located close to the gorgeous Colwell Bay and The Hut restaurant. The beds were super comfy and every morning we were served the most incredible breakfast! Denise, the host, was lovely and helpful and we even got to meet her gorgeous dog Nelson (don't worry - he doesn't roam the place if you don't like dogs and we didn't hear him once). We would not hesitate to stay here again!
Great location near Freshwater, an amazing cottage, well presented and very clean, we were met by the owner Will who showed us to the property, a bottle of champagne and orange juice was a nice welcome, this is a 13th century cottage and the beams are very low, and the cottage has the quirks of a building befitting its age. You can get to most of the island in 25 minutes so it’s a great base.
A well laid out, clean property in a quiet location, yet only a few minutes away from Yarmouth, Totland or Freshwater, with a nice view across the Solent. The property was also warm and cosy when the weather turned stormy during the first few days of our stay. Free parking opposite property, Wifi and Freeview are also provided. The two mini wines awaiting our arrival were a nice touch !
Clean, Comfortable accommodation, everything we needed there. Friendly welcoming host. Great base to explore not only the local area but the rest of the island. Bus stop at the end of the road if you don’t have a car. Large coop close by. Freshwater bay and colwell bay nearby.
Absolutely loved our stay, relaxed and rejuvenated and full of sea air. Just what we needed.
Decor was modern, simple, bright, airy & clean lines. loads of space to put things away and keep it tidy.
Location a really short walk to the beach, a great fish & chip shop and also Freshwater sports centre where our bike ride event started. Terry-Ann provided bucket loads of info before our stay which was super helpful. Thank you for the ferry discount code.
I am delighted to have stayed at Tollgate Cottages. Very high standards of cleanliness, furnishings and equipment throughout. Lovely breakfast to set us up for the day. Very quiet location with extensive garden and views. I would be very happy to return to Tollgate Cottages any time.
The house had everything we needed. Beds were super comfortable and 12 minutes walking distance to store and ~12 minutes walking distance to Freshwater Bay. The property management company was extremely accommodating and responded promptly to messages. Nice, quiet neighborhood.
Really quiet and perfectly located at a nice walking distance from Freshwater and Totland Bay. We booked it relatively last minute and got a great deal. Our hosts were very kind. We arrived earlier in the day and could still leave our luggage in our room. Thank you!
Excellent location, ideal for elderly guest in our group with the ground floor bedroom and shower. Nice patio area to the rear for sitting out with a cuppa. Ideally situated for exploring the Yarmouth and Freshwater area by car or on foot.
Excellent location close to the most scenic area and hiking trails on the Isle of Wight. Stand alone well furnished The host, Carol, was the best - very helpful. Great large breakfast served in the room.
The cosy flat, lovely setting near Freshwater Bay. Very friendly host Jane, wealth of local knowledge. Thoroughly recommend Baker's Retreat for a relaxing break on the IOW.
The view from the balcony across Freshwater Bay was great. The cleanliness of the room and en-suite was very good over the three nights. The size of the room and bathroom.
Great location, and the house is equipped extremely well, and so aesthetically pleasing. Smooth check-in and the beach is right there. Accessible by public transport too!
