An amazing stay here, lovely little farm that the children enjoyed as they could feed the chickens and get up close to the horses. Very clean, super hosts who provided literally everything you would need including fresh eggs, milk and lemon cake on arrival! Great location close to everything we needed. Highly recommend

Really lovely cottage with everything you may need for your stay in a beautiful setting. The owners were friendly and we appreciated the gift of eggs, milk and homemade cake. Only 10 minute drive to most places. We explored and took lots of long walks at the nearby beaches. Food was great and everywhere was accommodating for the dogs.

The cottage is very well designed and decorated. The sofa is very comfortable and there is plenty of room at the dining table. The owners are very friendly and chatty. The location is very good, especially if you are a walker or cyclist as there is a bridle way just down the road.

A superb cottage for a small family visiting the Isle of Wight. Beautiful local area of Alverstone and surrounds, easy access to Island. Quiet, peaceful and relaxing (apart from my own kids). The farm is gorgeous with an array of animals. Car (or bikes) required of course. Perfect for us as we have family near by! Thanks again, we will be back.

A cosy and well equipped cottage in a beautiful rural location. Odette was a really kind host and left us delicious homemade lemon cake! The cottage was perfect for a short break. Remember to take a hairdryer and towels but otherwise the cottage had absolutely everything we needed. Was so tranquil - just what we wanted thank you!

Not suitable for tall people, my husband is 6,2 and he couldnt use the shower properly in the wet room as it was too low and didnt move.

Great location on the Isle of Wight. Lots of good local walks and only a short journey to very good dog friendly beaches at Yaverland and Bembridge. Cottage is in a quite farm location with helpful owners and a welcoming lemon drizzle cake to die for.

Nice, cool and pet secure patio area with chickens wandering au naturelle just beyond. We had a lovely holiday here and recommend it. Hide

Wonderful hosts and the best equipped cottage that I have ever been too. Wasn't a fan of the wet room shower, would have preferred a detachable shower hose either in wet room or main bathroom, but that is a minor point and was fine for a week's stay. Daughter loved seeing the dogs, chickens and horses every day. Would definitely recommend Mead CottRead moreage. Hide

Extremely well designed and equipped cosy cottage in a beautiful rural location - the owner had thought of every kitchen utensil including an electric whisk which is a rare find in a holiday rental. We enjoyed the cake and fresh eggs. The hosts were chatty, helpful and informative. The second bedroom was perhaps a squeeze for two teenagers, and theRead more double bed in the main bedroom was not comfortable (we were squashed into the middle like a hammock).

Cottage was comfortable enough and well equipped. Route in described by owner should be followed as entry via the lanes from the north was pretty awful. Location close to nature reserve and with farm animals around was good for children particularly. Owner was friendly and helpful. Access to the whole island was fine.

We were a party of 3 (2 adults, 1 child) and this was plenty big enough for us, kitchen was well stocked to enable us to cook meals in the evening.
