Fabulous stay
It's a lovely little cottage with character. All very clean and even has decent instant coffee supplied and more importantly, the double bed id comfortable. Don't make it too popular though, we want to return and don't want it all booked out!

Long weekend getaway
We spent a wonderful 3 nights at Frog Cottage with an 18 month old crawler and had some great weather which was a bonus to spend out on the verandah cooking on the bbq grill as no stove top. Great for self caterers (stayz description and other reviews cover the quirk) for everyone else it's a very short drive from everything you require.

Perfect spot for wandering, privacy and nature
We were in dire need of complete down time and Frog Cottage was perfect for a whole lot of sitting and sleeping and gentle exercise and bird watching. The space was lovely and clean and it was only our fault that we didn't read about amenities properly so we took lots of food that wasn't suitable for bbqing or microwave. The internet was great but that was perfect for our mission of detaching and stepping off the world.

Delightful Country Stay
We enjoyed the location & cosiness of the cottage. It was like being in the country yet close to Cowes where the cafes, pubs, restaurants & shops were located. For feedback to the owners: the hot water system worked for the first night but on the second night as the water did not heat up. Hence we had somewhat cool showers. Otherwise, a great stay. Thank you.
