Beautiful building which has been sympathetically updated. Breakfast was made up of local produce along with home made/grown produce. Highly recommended!

Everything. Sarah was a welcoming host and nothing was too much trouble. Her homemade museli was the best I've ever tasted. Our room was comfy, clean and had a sofa so we could relax in the evening before going out for our evening meal. It was like home from home.

Sarah, the owner, was an amazing host. She was absolutely lovely and open. It was a new and interesting experience staying in a small B&B and I can't recommend Sarah more. She welcomed us to her home and showed us a bit of her life and hobbies. She has a very personal approach to her guests and offers a personalised breakfasts.
The building is a gorgeous house with a lot of character and Sarah keeps improving is as it goes.
Me and my partner had a wonderful stay and uses Sarah's recommendations as to what else to see. We will most definitely come back!

Stroud House is amazing, and Sarah is a wonderful host! We were very comfortable and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was exceptional, plentiful choice of cereals, fresh fruit and homemade fruit compotes followed by whatever combination of high quality eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms and tomatoes one could want all, beautifully cooked and presented. Sarah really does make you feel so welcome. We shall definitely recommend and hopefully return again!

Cooked fresh to order and extra touches with how the tomatoes and mushrooms were cooked.
Sarah suggested where to go and what to see. Freshwater is the quieter end of the island, but plenty to see and do.
I am not sure that I didn’t like anything. Some people would have missed not having a television in the room or a separate room to sit and watch, especially if the weather is bad.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Stroud House. We loved the location, the décor, and the breakfast with homemade jams and sauces. Our host was very friendly and gave us helpful tips on how to enjoy the island. If we could have stayed an extra day, we would have!

Sarah was the perfect host welcoming us with a pot of tea and slice of banana cake on arrival. The room was very comfortable and cooked breakfast delicious made with local produce. Sarah accommodated us for an extra night when a storm prevented us moving on, and gave us ideas of places to visit in and around Freshwater. The Red Lion is perfect for an evening meal or the Piano Cafe for lunch, both a short walk from Stroud House.
