RedButt House, Freshwater, 3 Bedrooms, WiFi, Garden, hotel in Freshwater

RedButt House, Freshwater, 3 Bedrooms, WiFi, Garden offers accommodations in Freshwater, 12 miles from Blackgang Chine and 16 miles from Osborne House.

Visiting Isle of Wight from California - I stayed mostly on my own at RedButt House, without a car, for nearly two weeks. I was aiming to relax, explore a bit, and think. I had everything I needed to be comfortable and entertain myself. This place made me feel I had a "real" home to come back to (or stay in) each day. Nearby Tennyson Down and Tennyson's Farringford house, Dimbola Museum and tea room, Piano cafe for breakfast, Freshwater Bay's beach, Compton Bay's dinosaur footprints, and the frequent nearby bus system were all so convenient. There is even a free little library at one of the nearby bus stop shelters - filled with so many books! The home was well appointed with linens and plenty of warm bedding, plenty of dishes and all I needed to make meals - even some herbs and spices. The dining room cabinet was filled with great books about the area and its local history. The nearby corner grocery shop was fantastic. One tip: I did have to stock up on things like garbage bags, toilet paper, and hand soap for bathrooms, but the nearby shop made that very easy. Even the Tesco and Boots were only about 15 minutes' walk away. I would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend it!

    Friendliness of the hosts; peaceful location - off the beaten track so nice and quiet. Accessible for us as non-car users - we had to use buses to get here from Ryde, and to visit other places around the Island - we had no problems. The 15-20 minute walk from Totland War Memorial bus stop (it got shorter as we got used to the route!) was OK for us - even on the one day it was raining all the way from the bus stop we didn't get too wet. And it was not a problem to walk back to the B & B in the dark, as we didn't need to do that until we had already walked back from the bus stop several times in the daylight. Loved the chance to see the red squirrels feeding in the garden - an unexpected bonus not anticipated before we arrived and were told to look out for them. We enjoyed eating at the Highdown Inn (just round the corner from the B & B so easy to get back home in the dark) - staff and customers there were all very friendly (and when it was busy the sfaff worked their socks off!) and also enjoyed the Waterfront restaurant location and food (although the service was a bit patchy).

    The town centre is away from the beach.

    The town centre is away from the beach. There is an excellent cafe about 5mins walk away. It is The Piano cafe and I can highly recommend it. The Dimbola is an interesting museum and also has a good cafe but it gets very busy.

    Only downside was the weather but that was to be expected.

    Only downside was the weather but that was to be expected. Many things were closed or had limited access due to poor weather and flooding, again this down to nature, not human failure. Loved the Isle and so much to visit and see. Locals very friendly and you feel safe there, a lovely atmosphere everywhere.

    Beautiful, clean and a must to visit. We will go back. It was our first visit to the Isle Of Wight and we were so impressed. Lovely family run restaurants, friendly people in the shops, on the buses and restaurants. Beautiful country views and coastal walks.

    The location is excellent and a good starting point for cycling and walking. The apartment is spacious for two people and is well-equipped. With the windows open, you're close enough to hear the waves on the shore. TIPS: Take an eye mask for sleeping if you prefer sleeping in after 5 am! There is a super pizza van across the road - highly recommend - check for opening times. The same applies to a Travelling Bar on a bus it is situated close to the beach - 5 mins walk. If you like good coffee - take your own Nespresso machine (we did!)

    You don't go to Freshwater Bay for attractions, it is quiet and a bit run down, but there are other seasides close. Really great attractions like Alum Bay, The Old Battery, Tennyson Down, Yarmouth etc. are close by. Interesting town centre which is long and has individual shops, places for coffee, fish and chips etc as well as several major supermarkets.

    We arrived and Booking.com had not told the hotel of our upgrade. We were exhausted on arrival and there was no other suitable accommodation there. They found us another place on a different site. They were super helpful. However, we had to wait 2 hours from first arrival at Colwell Bay till we could check in at other site. We had food shopping in the car that whole time and a booked concert to get to. I am not confident in using booking.com again. Please can someone contact me about this. Thank you.

    The bungalow is airy, spacious, very well kitted out - even trays provided to carry food outdoors to eat - and situated in a peaceful lane, 10 minutes walk from the Bay, overlooking a field. There are plenty of places - front and back - to choose from to sit outside. A well-stocked corner shop is 5 mins walk away. The care which Carol and Brian take to ensure that EVERYTHING is spotlessly clean meant we had no health and safety concerns in this current Covid climate.

    The host (Sarah) was friendly, attentive and very helpful offering a range of recommendations to help us with our first visit to the Isle of Wight. A true delight to talk to and an even better cook as you find with the sublime breakfast that is provided each morning. The house was beautiful and felt like a home away from home. Comfortable, clean and spacious you are able to unplug and wind down in any of the rooms at Stroud House.

    Rockstone cottage is perfectly located close to the gorgeous Colwell Bay and The Hut restaurant. The beds were super comfy and every morning we were served the most incredible breakfast! Denise, the host, was lovely and helpful and we even got to meet her gorgeous dog Nelson (don't worry - he doesn't roam the place if you don't like dogs and we didn't hear him once). We would not hesitate to stay here again!

    Breakfast and dinner were plentiful and excellent. Super location, right on the beach and we could walk for miles on the many nearby footpaths. An indoor swimming pool was a bonus albeit quite small. The suite was very clean as was the rest of the hotel. Nice bathroom. All the staff were very helpful and friendly.

    Not far from Colwell Bay beach and Freshwater centre. Tucked at the end of a local lane it had offstreet parking and the accommodation was in a separate building from the host's property. It was private, quiet, clean and comfortable. Hosts were very accommodating. Good cooked breakfast.

    The house had everything we needed. Beds were super comfortable and 12 minutes walking distance to store and ~12 minutes walking distance to Freshwater Bay. The property management company was extremely accommodating and responded promptly to messages. Nice, quiet neighborhood.
