A delightful cottage in the most charming garden
The Granary is quirky and very comfortable, equipped with everything you need for a self catering stay. The garden is just wonderful and the real highlight of our stay. Rebecca is a five star host and we can’t recommend her property highly enough. With a car or bicycles, it’s in an ideal location for exploring the island. Without, the buses are frequent, convenient and inexpensive.

The Granary was ideal for our use. Everything we needed was there and our small dog (Chihuahua - Snoopy) was delighted with the garden! We really enjoyed our stay and wished we had been there for long. Sorry not to meet Rebecca - next time!

Holiday at the Granary
The place is like a literal fairy tale. There is a stream in the backyard with a tiny little boat house for children to play with. Flowers all over the place, and you step into a literal forest from the back of the house. It is stunning and unspeakably peaceful. Rebecca is a lovely host she was always available, even gave us a jar of home made jam as a gift to take with us. It was a perfect holiday, we made so many memories on the island, I can't recommend enough. We are hoping to return in the future.

Good location and nice property
I liked it. The romany caravan in the grounds was lovely and the property itself was very nice. The check in was easy. There is a long and interesting garden. It was easy to reach everywhere on the island.

A very happy stay on the much loved Isle of Wight
Loved staying at the French Mill. The Romany Wagon was definitely an added bonus for the girls. It gave them a truly magical and memorable experience. Ideally located and charming holiday rental property for visiting the island. Only sorry not to have been able to actually meet our host Rebecca who was very communicative and helpful before and during our stay.. we were also pretty fortunate with the weather. Hope to come back one day …

Short Break
The Granary is very sweet and very nicely fitted out. Perfectly suited for either a short break or a young family perhaps. It is set in lovely grounds which when I was there were full of daffodils. I have two small gripes: the mattress made my back ache it was so hard and the internet was definitely dodgy on the first night but then work very well afterwards

Ideal for us
Lovely and cosy with double glazing. Couldn`t hear the main road or the incredible winds we experienced when we were there. A lovely run in the garden for Chief who enjoyed it there. IOW people, as polite as ever and the island was so dog friendly, there was nowhere we wern`t accepted. Perfect! Lovely hosts that were as efficient and friendly as possible. Thank you Rebecca and Guy

We are delighted that a client has found the Granary cosy in winter, as this has definitely not been the case in the past! We double glazed all the windows over the past six months, and it is gratifying to know that the expense has been worth it. John was a very easy guest who made a point of supporting local businesses and who really appreciated what the island has to offer, even in winter. He left the place beautifully clean and was just the type of guest we like!

Very pleasant hideaway.
The granary was ideally located for us, it had in excess of play space for my two boys who loved exploring the vast garden and it’s stream, tree swing and trees. They loved the trampoline even more so with the leaves. There was plenty of off road parking which was fantastic and straight access to the road for easy access to anywhere we wanted to go! The Wagon was a highlight and surprise for the kids and they made it their den and own space while there. The granary was comfortable and provided a cool space in the very hot heat while we were there. Rebecca was very friendly and happy to answer the boys questions and give some advise on the best beach for fossil hunting! The kids have already decided they want to return next year!

Cosy stay in the Isle of Wight
Lovely hosts. We were welcomed to the property with a small bowl of home grown tomatoes which were delicious and sweet. Amazing location to visit the nicest places on the Isle. The place has a rustic feel and it's perfect for nature lovers. We enjoyed the starry sky at night , finding small fishes on the stream and children loved playing in the trampolin and the gipsy caravan.

Magical birthday getaway
The property was located in an idyllic part of the IOW. Very peaceful and calming, felt truly relaxed and safe. A great garden to explore and allow the dog to roam in. It was very useful to be able to self cater in the modest but functional kitchen. A great base to set off on a day of adventures and return in the evening for some down time. The hosts were very lovely and we look forward to returning!

Very helpful and knowledgeable host, great communication . Fabulous garden area with stream, and woodland wilderness (not secure at the driveway entrance). Simple cottage and layout, fantastic romany caravan for kids to sleep in. Great location for walks and exploration of this unspoiled area of IOW.

Short but sweet
Stayed at The Granary with my wife. A lovely retreat in a quiet area of the island. Our host Rebecca provided very clear instructions and information concerning the area and local attractions; this was much appreciated. The property is quite close to a road but whatever traffic passes was barely noticeable at first and then completely oblivious. Many thanks.

A lovely spot with character
We enjoyed our stay at The Granary. It’s well-placed to get around the island and the Romany caravan, trampoline and rope swing were a big hit with the kids. Rebecca wasn’t able to see us in due to unforeseen circumstances but was in contact before, during and at the end of our stay so we still felt looked after.

Everything went well. Unfortunately the grounds around the property have been neglected and are rather overgrown which meant it was not a pleasure to sit in the garden

I am glad that everything went well. I apologise that the grounds have been somewhat neglected this summer but we have had a lot of family problems (the illness and subsequent death of a parent in the north of England, closely followed by a disastrous cycling accident and extended hospitalisation of the owner) which have kept us away from the island for most of the summer. These have been very exceptional circumstances and we have been touched by our guests' sympathetic response. Hopefully the grounds will look less neglected in the next few months.

Family Visit
What a delightful place the Granary is. An older style building with lots of character, set in a quiet, extensive, country garden, just right for us as we visited family on the Island after so long not being able to. Rebecca was very accommodating enabling us all to stay, using the original Gypsy Caravan as well, a hit with the kids. We even got stormy weather updates before we arrived as it swept through. Thanks Rebecca.

A comfortable week on the Isle of Wight
This property was exactly as described and provided comfortable, well equipped accommodation for self catering. Rebecca provided detailed information on it’s location and how things worked and was in frequent contact so we felt well hosted even though we never met her. Although we didn’t need it there was a washing machine to use if needed. There was a lovely garden to relax in and a covered place for our bikes. I didn’t sleep in the gypsy caravan but would have done if I was younger - I imagine older children would love it (also the swing, trampoline and stream in the garden). We had a lovely holiday - thank you.

Beautiful old cottage and grounds. My mother and I stayed for a week and it was a perfect position for exploring the Island and its many attractions, after a busy day we felt like we were returning to a comfortable home.The weather let us down slightly but of course that is not under the control of Rebecca. Our only small moan was that we found the bathroom very cold even with the towel heater being on. Thankyou Rebecca for letting us use this delightful space..

Not Happy
Good location, but the property is not maintained, outside area is over grown, trampoline has tree growing through the side of it, pictures on display are old. Garden furniture table and chairs dirty and in desperate need of painting . Oven switch broke so turning cooker on very hard. Beds have new mattresses but very cheap ones and really uncomfortable, not had a good nights sleep for the whole stay. Smells damp and needs modernising , old wooden bed and furniture and bedding. No gate to stop our dog from getting onto a busy road and traffic noise. I certainly would not be happy to stay here with children or to stay again at the property. Such a shame with TLC and maintenance it could be amazing. The garden is beautiful, wild live friendly. The place has great history too. Owner need to do a lot better especially for the price she charges.

Such a cute little cottage & caravan. Had everything we needed. The trampoline & swing were well used. The garden felt like an unchartered journey in to a magical land with fairies at the end - is what my eldest said. The location was really convenient and I wish we could have had longer to explore the paths literally from the doorstep. Thank you for a glorious stay!

Heaven on earth
Fantastic battery charging break - I enjoyed every single minute. The affordable price reflects the accommodation standard-which was basic but nicely presented, clean, adequately furnished and had a well equipped Kitchen. Unfortunately we had an issue with the heating and hot water during a week of unfavourable weather; however Rebecca was only too happy to pay for additional heating to increase room temperature and was very approachable when we discussed our concerns with her. The caravan is an absolute delight to sit in when reading and relaxing and the woodland garden is paradise, through which you can wander in your PJs with your morning brew, without meeting a soul. The accommodation is well placed for easy access by car to nearby beaches and beautiful countryside - can’t wait to return 🥰
