Lovely little property

Very lovely place. Some good country walks, though perhaps a little far from the nearest pub.

Liz was a fantastic host right from the word go phone calls & messages, showed me round & told me about the area and good dog walking spots. Liz went over and above with all aspects and helped me with my future by printing off some info for me. The home was immaculate and welcoming a beautiful little get away in rolling countryside. A top place and a perfect host.

Squirrel’s Nest was spotlessly clean, comfortable and warm

Squirrel’s Nest was spotlessly clean, comfortable and warm. On the two sunny days that we had, sitting outside in the small courtyard was a pleasure - secluded and sheltered. The property was well supplied with leaflets about various IoW attractions, many of which we visited. With its central location you are never from anywhere on the island though the roads can be slow going at times! The owners, who live next door were friendly and helpful and not in the least intrusive. We cannot recommend this property highly enough.

Nice little annex but perhaps less suitable for over 70s

Property has a lovely large bed. Kitchen is a good size as is sitting room. Steps up to front door. Settee not so comfortable for over 70s. Bathroom small and no shelf. Had to put electric toothbrushes and teeth cleaning stuff in kitchen. Put mirror for drying hair on dining table as no facility in bedroom. Windows were dirty inside and out. Door to outside at back dirty as was front door. Shower cubicle and ceiling were mouldy. Bathroom door touch points dirty.

A wonderful stay!

Thank you to Liz for her warm welcome and for providing such a lovely, well thought out place to stay. Squirrels Nest is well equipped, with homely touches and a good base for exploring. There's much to see and do and the facilities of Newport are only a short distance away. We'd definitely recommend it.

Great Place

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Squirrel’s Nest. The property was very clean and fresh, and well equipped. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The location is ideal being in the centre of the island and on a bus route. We also enjoyed walks up the lane which had lovely views across the hills.
