The cottage, with its own parking, fab decor, very comfortable beds and private pretty garden, was a perfect base for us. Great communication with the host too - we would definitely recommend and would love to come back to do more exploring. Thank you! ##### Louise F.

Owner very flexible on time periods and change over days. Quick response to queries as well. We had an excellent week away. One thing to note is that the stairs are quite steep (being in a cottage, not a surprise) but the more elderly or very the young might need an eye keeping on them. Property refurb is showing its age in a couple of places - but on the whole, it was excellent. Water pressure good, shower good (again, high bath a struggle for less mobile elderly people maybe). Decent cutlery and glasses/plates etc. One to visit again some time. ##### Phil T. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah E.

Overall a lovely stay and we would definitely like to return again soon. Thank you. ##### Caroline B. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna M. Apr 9, 2018 #### A lovely, tastefully decorated and well equipped cottage in the delightful village of Bembridge! We spent 4 nights at Drayton Cottage and wished we could stay longer. We loved the attention to detail inside the cottage with helpful tips to make our stay more enjoyable, a well equipped kitchen, towels and comfortable beds. The parking space was a real bonus as it can be tricky to park in Bembridge! Having been coming to Bembridge for years we know the village well and love it here - everything is within walking distance, great walks along the beach when the tide is out and we even got to see the lifeboat launch on training night which was a first! We would love to stay again when it is warmer so that we can make use of the lovely garden. Thank you. ##### Anna M.

Sep 28, 2015 #### Delightful spot for a lovely break In a quiet, relatively traffic-free side street with off-road parking for two cars, yet near all amenities, this cottage is perfect for 4 adults or a small family. A short stroll will take you to the village centre, with small shops and restaurants a plenty, while the harbour and beach areas are reached in 15 minutes. The owner has decorated the cottage in a delightful 'coastal' style, with thoughtful extra touches (coolbag for picnics, backpack to take out walking, speaker to play music from iPod etc.), which really set this cottage apart. There is a pretty garden at the back with plenty of seating to catch the afternoon sun. Bembridge is a lovely spot with lots to do - although we explored the island, we were always glad to be back in Bembridge as it has a special charm of its own. This is the sort of cottage you want to return to again and again. ##### Sue S. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark H. May 30, 2016 #### Lovely cottage in a perfect location The cottage was a lovely place to call home for 5 nights. We stayed as a family of 3 adults and a small child and you could see lots of care had been taken both in the property's appearance but also the smaller touches that are often missed out. Like a high-chair for our daughter, the bbq, the tea, coffee, oil etc you always feel you need to buy in-case they arent already there (+ the wine for the adults!) All-in-all it really was a lovely holiday away. Bembridge is a lovely place too since its quieter than some of the other touristy places on the Isle of Wight and it had a very close-knit family feel to the place. We would highly recommend this property, the pictures, dont fully do it justice and Marion was quick to answer any queries I had - particularly as this was our first time away with our young daughter, which was very helpful and reassuring! ##### Mark H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hazel T.

Good local produce shops, cafes and gift shops. Can walk to a beach in 10 minutes. Easy access by car to rest of the Island. Enjoyed the quirky house. The double bed (small)very comfortable mattress. Good linen. The kitchen is small but functional. Equipment limited if cooking for a family. Pleasant garden with bbq and seating. Highchair and fitting for stairgate although didn’t actually see a gate.Dog well catered for. I didn’t ask for the address until the last minute. I should have asked for a contact number as I found I couldn’t open the key safe but the owner was very responsive to messages. ##### Hazel T. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenny N.

The house was in the heart of the village and really beautiful and comfy. So a perfect place to stay on the IOW, especially if you are also bringing a dog. ##### Rebecca D.

It was within walking distance of shops pubs and eateries all first class. The harbour ,sandy beaches, and rock pools as well as stunning views of the Solent were all within easy reach.. Parking for large cars and SUVs was very difficult we had to park on the road. The property is not suitable for some disabled people as the stairs are steep and the toilet is on the ground floor. Nebertheless I would recommend it ##### Anne H.

We loved our recent stay at the cottage and Marion was a great and responsive host. The cottage was clean and has been tastefully decorated throughout. Overall, it had everything we needed and more. The beds were extremely comfy and the garden was an added bonus too. The cottage is situated in a quiet road very close to local pubs, shops and other amenities. We will definitely stay again. Thank you! ##### Katy B.

Lovely cosy cottage, ideal location in village. Owner was very helpful. Only one thing we would change is the bed! Tad small and like sleeping on a trampoline, (sorry). All great otherwise thanks. ##### Hazel Wadey Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2021
