- "Another lovely visit - repeat visitors to this very special cottage. Everything you could need for a great break, an outstanding view and badgers visiting the garden every evening. Magical" - "Mole Cottage is in a fantastic location in Luccombe, 10/15 minutes walk from Shanklin old town. If you walk back to the cottage from Shanklin it is up hill, which is not a problem if you are fit and healthy, but do take this into consideration. The cottage is situated on a private road, so it was always very quiet, both night and day; there's parking for 2 cars just outside of the property. Being at the top of a hill meant that you are rewarded with a fantastic view out to sea from the lovely garden at the back and side of the property. It's great to watch some of the Channel Island ferries, cargo ships and tankers go by. It's also excellent for star gazing on a clear night. We were also very lucky to be visited by badgers each night, which was amazing to see! We loved watching them feast on the peanuts left out for them each night, right by the patio doors! The cottage was very well equipped to make our stay a very comfortable home from home experience. The layout worked very well for 4 adults and 2 children. The children could sleep in the large upstairs bedroom, whilst you could remain talking in the living room without disturbing them. We loved our stay at Mole Cottage and it made our visit to The Isle of Wight a very memorable one and would happily stay here again!"

- "My family and I loved our stay at Apse Castle Cottage. The cottage was clean, comfortable and came with clear instructions. Having a space to park was great. On the day we left I somehow managed to leave a bag at the cottage and Heather the lovely person who came to check and clean the cottage rang me straight away and gave clear instructions so I was able to get it back easily. We had a lovely chat when I picked it up." - "Lovely little cottage - short drive to shanklin and ventnor, everything we required for our weeks stay with two dogs."
