We had a very nice stay at this lovely cottage. Bonchurch is a beautiful village and a good starting point for hikes, walks to the beach or other trips. The only thing we missed as a family was a garden to relax or let the kids play. However, we used our time then for great trips instead.

Great place and a great location

This cottage is almost perfect, being spacious, light, and well-equipped. The slight, very slight, defect being no view from the suntrap courtyard. However, it's a short walk to the sea front and village green so not really an issue. The pond opposite is also a pleasure: teeming with life. Great base for walking straight from the door - the coast path to Shanklin and up onto Boniface Down. The Bonchurch Inn is a lovely spot for a pint, but is currently up for sale - hopefully the new owners will keep it going and keep its character.

Simply the best place to stay in Isle of Wight. Brilliant beds great shower lovely kitchen, love the big window at the front and the nice garden. The patio is a good sun trap for sun bathing. We loved feeding the ducks in the pond, amazing unspoilt English countryside. Whenever we go back to Isle of Wight, Glebe Cottage is our first choice every time. Wonderful. Thank you

Fantastic property, lovely location, we enjoyed it all. Will be looking to go back in the future

This is a lovely little property, we were all very comfortable there. It provides all of the facilities you would need and was nice and clean when we arrived. The location is pretty and very quiet. Its a shame some businesses have closed during Covid and not re-opened. It would have been nice to wander along the road to the cafe some days and explore one or 2 shops but unfortunately all the village has now is a garage, a welders, 2 churches and a pub. Bonchurch is a beautiful place though, right on the coast and ideal for those that enjoy walking and cycling. We walked into Ventnor a few times and along the coast path to Shanklin one day

We loved our stay at Grebe Cottage and can't wait to visit again. Location: The village of Bonchurch is idyllic, with a fabulous pub serving great Italian food. There are no other amenities in the village but Ventnor is only a short 15/20 min walk away and you will find everything you need there. The cottage: Beautiful, with good size rooms and enough outdoor space. The photos do not do it justice. Has all you need. The wine and chocolate were a lovely touch. Other: The pond opposite is lovely and full of ducks, fish and terrapins. There is even a heron that visits. The area is really clean. The coastal path is beautiful and we loved the walk into Ventnor. It's longer but well worth it. From 1st May parking is restricted opposite tproperty and there is parking either inside of this area, although it does get busy as there is car garage that uses the street parking. One day we had to park 3 or 4 mins away. You can park in the restricted are though for an hr and between 6 pm and 8 am. We would definitely go back as the cottage is great and so is the location. Host is also really helpful and quick to reply.

Grebe Cottage is very well appointed and spacious, and a comfortable base from which to visit any part of the island, or simply chill out. We were there before the summer parking restrictions came into effect and had no problems parking over the road, alongside the pretty pond. It’s a steepish walk up to the Bonchurch Inn - well worth it for a friendly welcome and tasty meal. All in all, a great place to stay.

A lovely, comfortable cottage in a quiet location with a short walk to the sea.

Nice cottage location could of been better as area was quite hilly and not much sunlight on cottage

Amazing place. Nice location and amazing house. It’s nice to be back

Loved the property, the village was fab. Really great place to stay. Thank you so much Rosie & family

Perfect holiday home with everything we needed. Loved the tranquil location. The house had everything we needed - comfy beds, great facilities and amazing spacious bathroom with powerful shower! Always the best following a beach day. Wine, chocolate, espresso capsules and milk a lovely welcome touch! Thank you for a great stay.

We fitted into the cottage really quickly and the little nooks and crannies were perfect for ours needs from housing our little dogs to drying out our soggy shoes after a downpour! Probably the comfiest bed I'm stayed in on any holiday and made us smile to see the pond life every morning!

Grebe Cottage is a lovely place to stay. The location is charming, easy to pop in to Ventnor for supplies and well situated for seeing the island. We did not have parking issues and the cottage is a real home from home with a very well- equipped kitchen.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful little hamlet.

Well positioned in lovely location , fine view over lovely pond but also 10 minute walk to sea and Ventnor only 5 minutes by car. Property well equipped, location peaceful

Lovely cottage had everything we needed. Fantastic location oppsite duck pond and great walks.

Grebe Cottage was clean and cosy. We had a lovely short stay. The village pond opposite the cottage is beautiful and The Bonchurch Inn serves lovely food. Great walking on the doorstep.

lovely cottage in a lovely location, perfect for a short getaway.

Although I had specifically asked about parking and been re-assured, this in fact was very difficult. There was rarely a space near the house. We were unable to turn the central heating on. There was no contact telephone number in the house instruction book, so we could not contact the owner for help. Although there were enough logs for one evening there were no fire lighters or kindling. We were quite cold. There was no ‘welcome pack’ although other people had mentioned wine etc. So all a bit bleak when we arrived. In view of these short comings, some sort of rebate would be nice.

We had a wonderful stay in this charming cottage opposite the duck pond in Bonchurch. It was so peaceful but close to all amenities. The kitchen was very well equipped and there was everything we needed and more besides. Idyllic! Thank you Ruth

The cottage was perfect in every way. Very comfortable and pretty location, good communication with host. We were very sad to leave, but will try and visit again soon! Thank you for letting us stay in you home.

Looking forward to next visit , don’t worry about the parking, you can park for an hour right outside , and all day for £3 just a couple of minutes away in the car park at Bonchurch beach, it was empty during our entire visit. You must Book all good restaurants Smoking lobster very good,

Cosy comfortable home from home with everything you could possibly need. We had a lovely stay and would recommend to others because it’s a wonderful chocolate-box village location minutes from the sea and a short walk to all that Ventnor has to offer. The cottage has everything you could want to make it a comfortable and relaxing stay.

The cottage looked like a doll's House from the outside, but it's really a tardis. It's spacious clean well equipped and a lovely location. Everything you could want from a home from home.
