"The staff were so helpful and accommodating, they went over and above to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Great breakfast and meals. Our second time and will be back for a third!! Thank you Wight Mouse."

"No Air-con But lovely location and great helpful staff."

"We had an excellent stay at No 24 and particularly enjoyed the sunny garden, hospitality and the useful advice that we were given. We were fortunate that our stay coincided with the hottest day of the year and we were there for the Ventnor Fringe."

"I chose this restaurant for our anniversary dinner but I was somewhat disappointed perhaps my expectations were too high. The atmosphere was cool and the food not special for the price paid, I do not feel able to recommend a visit. Other restaurants in Ventnor offer a warmer welcome and good food so I would not return."

"34 in our family group distributed round the conservatory. The service was good and the staff friendly and patient. The food was a different story, we have visited the Chequers many times and it's our 'go to' restaurant for Sunday lunch and carvery. On this occasion there were quite a few mumblings and mutterings. The carvery was disappointing, complaints about the rock hard potatoes and tough yorkshire puddings mainly, I had the pork belly and cold black pudding, did someone forget to heat it or were they just not bothered? All in all a very average experience. Our large group was pre-booked so they knew we were coming, as the guy who set this venue up the family weren't too slow to let me know that they were not amused! Shame about the quality of the food, time for a change methinks."

"A wonderful private hotel which exceeded all expectations. Only the smallest room was available, but it was lovely and had a sea and garden view. The manager showed real care and provided the best hotel breakfast we have ever had. Lots of lovely FRESH fruit and personally cooked meal to our exact requirements. Thank you for a happy 3 days. Terry and Maureen Smith"

"Just returned from a 4 night break at Koala Cottage. Can't fault any aspect of our stay, Shona and Amanda are perfect hosts, friendly and attentive but not intrusive. The room was spacious and comfortable with lovely extra touches ie the decanter of sherry ( loved that). The breakfasts were great, freshly prepared with good quality ingredients. The cottage is well placed for getting to all parts of the island. Fabulous all round."

"We needed somewhere to stay as we were here for The Isle of Wight festival and we found it really hard to find somewhere that was affordable, people simply charge what they want a supply and demand thing going on but we found this little gem and were so pleased, we did book last year and the cost was really good. In fairness we are two people in our fifties that are runners so the walk of 25-30 minutes was not an issue for us it is very hilly . So if you want to stay for the festival unless you drive you will have this walk into Ventnor catch the bus which takes 50 minutes then another 25 minutes from the bus stop to the venue. Buses are cheap just 2.00 per person each way compared to a 66 quid taxi each way ! So now onto our beautiful stay. The hosts kept in touch throughout the lead up to our stay . We usually stay in modern hotels but this is an older quirky accommodation full of history . Our hosts allowed us early entry which was a blessing as we arrived from the mainland early hours. I would say possibly the most helpful welcoming hosts we have ever had, they really could not do enough for us. Our room was clean ,tidy and the bed was comfortable most welcome after walking 10-14 miles each day. Loved the bone china cups with saucers , a range of teas and a cafeteria with freshly ground local coffee and biscuits. I really like this old school stuff ! The hosts allowed us to eat our picnic in their pretty garden grounds which has a table and chairs. So chilled out and quiet. The hosts are very honest and the internet coverage is very poor but can be reached in the lounge, this was not a problem for us as used just mornings before we went out. Plenty of storage in the rooms and complimentary toiletries which I was glad of having forgotten some items. Absolutely loved having a bath there’s a shower over the bath but due to the extensive walking a magnesium salt bath was most welcome. Bathroom has plenty of space and cleaning items should you need them , you want for nothing at all here. Room has tv , lovely view to the garden and old style fireplace. The accommodation is full of old artefacts are so interesting . The food…. Wow ….everything is locally sourced…even the ketchup . You pre order and everything was hot, perfectly presented I have never tasted such good bacon . The service was so good , as they only rent out three rooms they always find time to talk to you. One of the most memorable stays thank you Ruth and Robert x definitely intend to return . X"

"Pretty good, does the job, it’s a caravan init. Nice lake, nice ducks, and a powerhouse duo. Justified!"
