We had a fantabulous experience at Ye Olde Cottage. Great accommodation with a distinct character. Neat, tidy, and well kept. Host and team were very professional, understanding, and responsive. The kids loved the house so much they have asked to come back to this very house, when next on the Island. I can't recommend Janet and Ye Olde Cottage highly enough.



Fantastic accommodation.

Great stay in this traditional thatched cottage. Was lovely to be somewhere completely different from our own home. Had everything we needed and more! Clean and comfortable and in a great location to explore the island. The little extras make all the difference.

Ye Olde Cottage is a fabulous, well equipped cottage in the heart of Niton. It is unlike any holiday home we have ever stayed in, much more like a home that you have just walked into - fully equipped kitchen, rooms all full of the kind of ornaments and nick-nacks you might have collected if this was your own personal home.

Although it is situated between two roads there is minimal disturbance from traffic (at least there was when we were there, in late September).



All was perfect.

We loved this cottage, it was cosy, comfortable and so well equipped as well as being in a brilliant location. the village has amenities and there are walks from the doorstep. there was a generous welcome pack from the host. the garden was a beautiful bonus.
only 2 slight niggles
1. doorway heights were an issue for some of us - but predictable in a cottage of this age !
2. the entrance to the parking place at the back is very tight, and removing a few more bricks from the wall would help
we thoroughly enjoyed our stay & would happily return



A comfortable stay. However, my 6 foot tall grandson wasn’t very comfortable with the low door ways.

We had a lovely stay in Ye Olde Cottage. It lives up to its name, so maybe not for anyone unsteady on their feet but for everyone else it is delightful. The garden is beautiful. The cottage is the best equipped I have ever stayed in. We particularly appreciated the thoughtful "welcome" pack. We also found the Niton grocery store (only about a minute's walk away) extremely convenient.

This cottage is nothing short of paradise, the pictures do not do it justice the space and level of decor and attetion to detail inside and out is faultless. Most relaxing holiday we have ever had, good local shop and pub within 2 minute walk as well.

A wonderful cottage, fully equipped with everything we needed for our weeks stay. Also, a lovely private garden to the rear to enjoy drinks and bbq.
Clean and spacious... I felt completely at home here. Certainly would recommend to others.
Perfect location for walks to St. Lawrence Undercliffe, Ventnor and coastal walks west too. Coastal breezer bus to Needles just a minutes walk away.
Would certainly come back again another year....thank you to the owners for sharing their bolt hole

Lovely cottage to stay in. Really well equipped with lots of added extras. Comfy beds and warm and cosy. Good value and excellent location.

Was a little disappointed that the large oven didn't work (the small thin oven did, but no good for cooking a large pizza!) also was really very dusty - lots of ornaments which probably doesn't help!

We would return though!

Thank you for your review. Can only apologise for the dust, the quite major refurbishment works on the lilac bedroom were finished the previous week, I dusted and polished extensively on the Sunday before you arrived on the Friday but having seen things again this weekend it is still dusty! Will endeavour to fight the dust extensively again. Really wish you had got in touch with either myself or the letting agent to report the problem with the large oven as it was not broken just needed the clock setting so that it would work. Can only apologise for this and will update the instructions accordingly to inform guests that if the power supply has been interrupted to the cooker, the clock flashes to signify this, then the large oven will not work until the clock has been set. So pleased to hear you would return, will look forward to you staying again.

a cottage to return to

We loved Ye Olde Cottage which we went to for Christmas week. The owner had decorated it very nicely indeed for the holidays. It was well supplied with everything. The cottage has a lot of character, sensitively restored, and its position right in the middle of the charming village of Niton was perfect. We would like to return.

The 2 seater sofa and the 2 seater chaise-lounge were both very low, with thin cushions meaning we found it difficult to get comfortable in what was a lovely cottage. The location was great with pub and shop very close by, though the cottage and it's garden seemed a little hemmed in with other properties overlooking the garden. Great parking (if you have a small car) but it was very tight getting my 4x4 through the initial gap so I generally parked in front of the gate. Very comfortable bed, lovely kitchen, many attractive period features. Very clean (Which must be difficult to achieve with so many quaint nooks and crannies)......Just let down by the sofas, which need replacing. Niton is a great location

We had a great holiday in this idyllic country cottage. If you like tranquillity this is the place for you. The garden is so pretty it looks like something you'd find on a jigsaw and the welcome pack was the best we've had. The cottage felt like home from home. We appreciated all the extra personal touches. Close to amenities and local attractions. Large village shop selling a range of hot snacks within easy walking distance. My children particularly enjoyed that and the Wi-Fi. We sadly can recommend the GP surgery as well - our daughter was stung by a weever fish ! A lesson learned.

We thoroughly recommend this cottage but if you have very small children there are lots of within reach ornaments and the stairs are very steep. We have a child with additional needs who loves exploring but has a lot of complex issues Information such as this is helpful it should not be seen as a complaint. We had a great holiday in a quintessential country cottage! Thank you

This location was just right for us and the attractions we wished to see. We also chose it because there was a shop and pub close by and both were better than expected. There are low beams but that was fine for most of us.

The cottage is lovely and we found it certainly had more than we needed for our stay. Gorgeous character and fabulous garden too! However our mattress (green room) was not comfy and definitely needed changing. We would love to stay here again and would definitely recommend cottage if the mattress was new so that we could have a good sleep whilst enjoying holiday and cottage! Otherwise we loved it!

Everything about this cottage is excellent. The welcome pack has all the essentials. Its like home from home. The lounge is comfortable, the stairs are a bit steep, but you get used to them. Spacious bedrooms, lovely old place. The garden lights up at night, lovely outside area to sit. We will definitely re book again.
