The Annex at Barrow Cottage is a single story extension to the cottage, with use of a large garden and paddock. It is situated in one of the loveliest parts of the Isle of Wight set amidst rolling green fields and close to the picturesque village of Godshill in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This is great walking country, surrounded by footpaths, yet is still just a ten minute drive to the beaches of Shanklin and Ventnor. It's great for families and for couples who just want to relax.

A lovely annexe, very modern and clean. Got a lovely garden to sit down and relax in.Great location. The hosts Chris and Nicky were very accommodating and helpful. Would highly recommend.
Nicky and Chris' place was perfect for our four day getaway. It was extremely comfortable, and the lovely garden provided a cool and shady wonderland for our 2yr old. The cottage is a short drive to the beach and other attractions, with grocery store quite close. Our hosts were helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this delightful place.
Great little holiday home. Set in amazing gardens which was the highlight. Children loved the two swing/hammocks in the garden.Gave 4 stars and not 5 as the mattresses were not the most comfortable.
Quiet, well furnished with all needs met for a very enjoyable stay.We cooked nice meals in the well equipped kitchen, slept well and availed ourselves of the gorgeous surroundings by actually walking.We were well connected to media and were able to be very comfortable.
This was our first visit to the Isle.We had a lovely stay at Chris and Nicky. The annex is very comfortable and had everything we needed. They have a beautiful garden where the children played games and we enjoyed a barbecue.The location was excellent to explore many attractions in the Island and very peaceful and quiet. Lovely hosts made us feel very welcome. Thank you very much!
We really enjoyed staying at the property. It has a really large outside space for use, as well as a perfect family space inside. We are all looking forward to going back very soon.
We stay once a year now and I wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else now.
Chris and Nicky are so welcoming, their place is so clean, grounds are beautiful and life couldn’t be easier whenever we stay.
Thanks again and see you next year!
Very nice property with a gorgeous garden. The only comment I would make is that it is not gated off from the road, so you need to keep an eye on young children at all times, although I appreciate the accommodation opens directly on to the garden. The location is fantastic. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful.
Great place to stay for when you're holidaying on the Isle of Wight. Lots of attractions nearby and great bade for getting to different areas.
Holiday home was clean and comfortable. Had everything a family of four needs. Amazing garden to run around too!
Chris and Nicky are great hosts - easy to communicate with and very helpful.

The Annex at Barrow Cottage is ideally situated for island exploration while being a quiet, secluded location in which to relax. Chris and Nicky have provided everything you'd need for a comfortable stay. The cottage is clean, quiet and the beds are very comfortable. The garden is great for kids to play in and the cottage will sleep 4 (plus a baby in the cot) with ease. We highly recommend this property to any couples or small families looking for an Isle Of Wight base.
What a lovely cottage. It was everything we hoped for and more. Lovely and clean, plenty of space inside and a wonderfully big garden for the children to play in. Chris and Nicky were great hosts and couldn't do more for us. A great location to explore the beautiful island. We hope to return in the future!
We have just returned from a wonderful stay in a fab location. The cottage was clean, well equipped and provided us with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday including a fantastic garden. Perfect for families. Chris and Nicky couldn’t have been better hosts whilst we were there. They were so helpful and welcoming. Will definitely be returning in the future!
Well equipped accommodation in a really good location for practically everything. It was nice and clean and the hosts were extremely welcoming, even going as far as giving us some home grown veggies from their garden! They really did make us feel very welcome and very comfortable. They have a lovely garden which they were happy for us to enjoy. We loved the sheep too! This is the perfect base for any holidaying family and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
