Enjoyed a lovely stay. Plenty of room for a family. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent May 25, 2025 #### 6th visit! Another lovely stay at The Gate House. Place was super clean and gardens well kept. Just a lovely place to take our dogs in a great location for an Isle of Wight holiday. 7th trip already booked! This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good Oct 15, 2023 #### Lovely house and location Lovely house and location. Loved the beach just down the track. Clean but decor was tired and could do with freshening up and minor property maintenance. Conservatory windows unusable and could do with a good clean. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Nov 17, 2023 #### Holiday at Gatehouse We have stayed at this property before and it’s a lovely place to stay and spacious. It’s dog friendly aswell so it is ideal for us. The double bed in the back room could do with being a bit higher as anyone with mobility issues would struggle to get on and off it. The location of the property is a short walk to the beach and it was lovely to take our dog on there (tide permitting) and have a walk up to the lifeboat station. It was a good base for ventures around the island. Would definitely come back to the Gatehouse. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good Jul 3, 2023 #### Abounded house When we first arrived the house seemed abandoned, the bushes and weeds were overgrown, covered in spiderwebs and smelt dusty and dirty inside. The house was neglected and dirty, we even found hair in the bedding. The house has potential, a large space and a great location however. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Angela H. Jun 16, 2024 #### Gatehouse I think all necessary areas have been covered. We enjoyed our stay in this spacious, comfortable, well equipped and well situated property. I have already completed a questionnaire for Feefo. I usually avoid these reviews because they are too pushy - trying to force responses where one one has nothing relevant to say. Making answers compulsory is ridiculous. I should be able to submit as many or as few as I wish. ##### Angela H.

We love the location and the property. It’s a great place to stay to visit the island or for a beach holiday as it’s only a two minute walk to the sea. Bembridge is situated between Sandown and Ryde which for us are the 2 best beaches on the island for dog walking. The property was really clean inside, and the gardeners came while we were there which made the outside space welcoming. The property is very well equipped and spacious. All the rooms are large and very comfortable. The master bedroom has a balcony which from the left side you can see the sea through the trees. It has a really large conservatory which is nice to sit and read, or to just have some quiet time. The property would benefit from aesthetically pleasing garden furniture as it’s a real sun trap which would be nice to enjoy in more comfort. The property isn’t a show home, it’s a house to have a great relaxing holiday in. We purchased a small kettle Bbq while we were there and left it for the next visitors to enjoy. Every time we leave we just want to come back. We can’t wait to have our 4th stay at the property next year.

The key safe entry meant we didn’t have to worry about any potential ferry delays (there were none as it happens). Great for a stress free start to our stay. It was however rather cold when we arrived as the thermostat was on 10C and, once we had adjusted it, the house took a little while to warm up. Once that was sorted we found everything we needed and there was loads of space and ample seating in the lounge, conservatory and dining room, something some properties lack in our experience. So very comfortable. The toilet seat in the family bathroom needs some attention but this was the only negative. Great Wi-Fi and really good having the usb sockets available for charging phones etc. The local shop was very near with the ones in Bembridge village just a little further away, including a fish & chip shop. A pub and cafe within walking distance and others a short drive away (or reasonable walk if you are fit). Beach also very close down a flight of steps. It is within reasonable distance of many attractions and facilities so we were able to get to all the places we had planned to go to very easily. Gate House is now on our list for future trips.

Parking for two cars, though you could easily fit three. Secure rear paved garden with shrubs. Excellent security all round with gates, if you have dogs. Comfortable Conservatory, lovely when sunny but still a little chilly outside. Dining room good size for up to six people. Kitchen has everything you could want. A dishwasher, full size fridge freezer being the optimum for convenience. No one wants to keep going shopping simply because the freezer is too small, or wash up manually.. The beds were all very comfortable and lovely hotel quality cotton bed linen. My friend used the washing machine , located in garage, door from inside to access it. Washing line in garden. Nice living room and TV. Maybe a a squeeze if you had six people staying, but still very nice. Sally's Riding School 5 mins walk away, literally out of the property and walk down their drive, offering beach rides for all levels, never ridden beginner to experienced, a horse for everyone. This was an unexpected bonus to find them so close by and I was lucky to get a cancellation and enjoy a beach ride on a nice forward going Cob. Mini supermarket a few minutes by car, or about 15 minutes walk away, that had everything we wanted. The week of our stay was glorious blue skies and sunshine more or less every day, still needing a jumper, but perfect for being out and about. There is so much to see and do on the island. The beach was amazing, especially late afternoon when the tide was really far out, lots of pools of water to paddle around in and the dogs loved splashing through the water. This was just five minutes walk from the house and there was a fabulous cafe on the beach , open 11- 4. All dog friendly. I am so pleased with my choice of location and property. Oh and I must mention the " Crab and Lobster " , again a few minutes walk away, overlooking the sea. The food was outstanding, but booking is essential every day of the week as it's so popular. So nice to walk home, no driving so able to enjoy a drink. Also dog friendly. Suggestions : There is no fire in the living room. It would perhaps be cosy to have an oil heater or something to warm the room in the evening. We didn't want to put the main heating on too high. My friend has booked for next year for herself and other family members. I have luckily managed to find another property about 15 mins walk away, for myself and dog, so it will all work out well. Though I will miss the 5 mins to beach in my water shoes. Hey ho A really fabulous week and look forward to next year.

Location excellent for a sandy/stony beach best for swimming at each side of high tide This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zoe W. Aug 22, 2022 #### Grear Large House by the Sea We were very impressed with this house, we have been coming to the island for many years but first time at the Gate House and would definitely return. House was very spacious, light with a nice homely feel to it. With all the downstairs space you were never on top of each other and the size of the kitchen was fantastic! Lots of nice useful touches, games, books washing lines and pegs etc. The location is amazing, right by the sea, beach at bottom of the road down some steps. Hope to stay again soon. Family of 6 with children. ##### Zoe W. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah-Jane N. Aug 15, 2022 #### Great location, lovely little place We had a brilliant two weeks at the Gate House, its such an ideal location with the beach a few hundred yards away for sandcastles and swimming. Then around to Lane end after a short 15 mins walk for rock pooling and the lifeboat pier. The house itself is traditional in its decor and very typical of Island homes, lots of lovely photos and nick-nacks. The TV was excellent, nice to have such a clear picture at the end of a hot and sandy day and the games consoles would be great for those with older children. The kitchen was well equipped and when we had an issue with the Toaster it was resolved immediately by Island holiday homes. The little courtyard was big enough for some throwing games and a few water gun fights. We would definitely want to come back another year, we love the Island and Bembridge and this is the perfect little boat hole. ##### Sarah-Jane N. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good Aug 8, 2022 #### Great location The gatehouse is in an ideal location with the beach at the end of the road. Unfortunately the house hadn’t been cleaned when we arrived, but this was quickly sorted and a couple of other maintenance issues were promptly resolved also. We knew from reading reviews before our stay that a hairdryer and oven gloves were not included so make sure you take them with you! We would agree with other reviewers that the decor is a bit tired, but the house is spacious and makes an ideal base to explore the island. The beds were comfy too! This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Jul 8, 2022 #### Very enjoyable stay A lovely house, more spacious than it looked in the photos. The parking is through an open gate down a lane, which confused us initially and we ended up at the Crab and Lobster. Never mind, that's a great place to know about and we recommend the breakfasts! The gate never seemed to be shut even though the notice on it says it is closed at 9pm. I think our only quibbles were about some things we expected to be provided and weren't - tea towel, oven gloves and some kind of washing up sponge in the kitchen, and a hairdryer. I took dishwasher tablets. There were cafetieres - so we could have taken proper coffee. Plenty of cutlery and crockery. Loo seat in the ensuite needs fixing and a towel rail would be a good idea. Also, no hand soap in the bathrooms was a surprise. First holiday away with our grandson, so will remember it as a lovely return to the Isle of Wight.

The inside area of the conservatory is dirty it's windows are so unclean it's difficult to see through them. There were dead flys on the conservatory window seals Shower doors in the ensuite do not close properly, the paintwork on the radiators are peeling off . The kitchen is a mish mosh of crockery .Broken window by front door. Will not return which is a shame as the house location is the best in Bembridge This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good Mar 27, 2022 #### Ideal house in a great Location ---BUT The location for the beach, The Crab & Lobster and Bembridge Village cannot be beaten, everything including the coastal path is on your doorstep. The house is well equipped, generally clean - if a little bit musty on entering (had to but an air freshener) and ideal for a family or couple. The kitchen is large, well equipped albeit someone needs to reorganise the draws and cupboards , double bed was very comfortable and location cannot be beaten. The thing that lets this property down is that it has been neglected. It needs a total redecoration and updating. Paint on the radiators are peeling the conservatory and its furniture need cleaning / updating and the garden needs attention. The property is so well appointed and located it just needs some TLC to bring it back to its greatness. We would return to this property as a couple largely due to its location and in the hope that next time some redecoration, maintenance etc will have been undertaken. We would recommend the property but with the caviats of its neglect This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Gayle B. Mar 1, 2022 #### Do not recommend Sadly we can not recommend this property at all. Run down and in desperate need of maintenance. Broken window, broken sink in ensuite, paint peeling on radiators, shower split all just in one room. Garden overgrown with broken furniture. Overpriced and not in any way worth the high rental amount. ##### Gayle B. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Leslie C. Aug 9, 2021 #### Comfortable stay We had an issue on arrival, in that the cleaners had not turned up, so towels and bed sheets were still there from the previous guests. After a few calls it was sorted out, and the cleaners turned up while we were at the Crab and Lobster for dinner (highly recommended). The cleaning company had half their staff unavailable due to COVID issues which we completely accepted, but we were disappointed that we had not been informed beforehand, and had to sort it out ourselves. Once the cleaners had been the house was clean and tidy. The house was comfortable and well appointed, and suited us very well for our holiday. ##### Leslie C.

Aug 2, 2021 #### Would recommend This property was very clean, good quality towels, beds very comfortable and clean and fresh. Very well equiped property. The property is very spacious. Maybe a little tired and owner might consider replacing carpets in bathrooms and hall way with hard flooring, garden could probably need a tidy up but nothing to put me off booking again, overall loved it! Oh, and maybe have the bin collection details and dates printed and laminated on the wall in kitchen and hall way, very easy mistake to forget to put bins out. ##### Micaela V.

May 31, 2021 #### 2nd time at the Gate house We’ve just returned from our 2nd stay at the Gate house. Bembridge is our favourite place to stay as is closest to (in our opinion) the nicest beaches for dog walking on the island, The property is only a 2 minute walk to the sea giving it a great location. The property is very spacious with all rooms a nice size, with the added benefit of a large conservatory with a enclosed garden. Very well equipped and comfortable. Beds are super comfortable as are the sofas and chairs. The cleanliness of the property on arrival was excellent. Absolutely every surface spotless and dust free which was excellent. Minor room for improvements would be a couple of light switches and lamps don’t turn on, and the garden which is a mixture of brick weave and wood chipping is a bit underwhelming. Would be nice if the brick weave was pressure washed and there was nicer garden furniture to enjoy the sun as it’s a real sun trap. Would definitely stay again in the property, and as usual Island Holiday homes get a 10 out of 10 for customer service. Thank you! ##### Simon B.

The house was lovely and in a great location, so handy for running the dogs on the beach in a morning. The house seemed to have had some utensils and pots taken away from the kitchen, I had to buy a can opener and I left it at the house for the next visitors to use but that didn’t spoil anything. I am pleased to say that the internet was working well and didn’t have any problems with it. Visitors to the property need to be mindful and put the bins out on bin day because the general waste bin was full to the top when we arrived, we did our bit and put the recycling bin out on the Monday. Overall we had a fantastic holiday, rested and walked and had a lovely meal and drinks at the Beach House bar on the Sunday and the weather that day was glorious. ##### Ruth N. ### 8/10 Good #### Elizabeth N. Oct 5, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location The house is perfect for a relaxed stay close to the beach, beach cafe and pub. Easy for dog walking you don't have to go anywhere in the car, slightly further to the village for shopping (fantastic local produce). The house is tired and could do with an update but it was clean and spacious, with everything we needed. ##### Elizabeth N.

Oct 2, 2020 #### A week in Bembridge A sign with 15 visible from the road is needed. Lovely property. Homely. We'd stay again. And probably will. Village has plenty of facilities. Very enjoyable stay. ##### Andrew M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Sharon H. Sep 30, 2020 #### Gate House Bembridge IOW Firstly the photo is very misleading, the property is very run down and very tired with weeds in garden . The light bulbs constantly fused tripping the switch ! It smelt old and fiesty on arrival . It’s spacious and well situated and my bed was comfortable ##### Sharon H.

Sep 19, 2020 #### A week in September I’ve been travelling to the IOW for many years and like most always returned to the same holiday camp. This time we decided to rent a house rather than a static caravan. I can say it was a excellent choice! Having dogs it was so much easier having your own garden rather than to lead walk if they wanted to pop outside. The property is large and just 2 / 3 minutes walk to the Bembridge beach. At night with the bedroom windows open you can even hear the Sea when the tide is in. The only things I would say to be mindful is while the garden is secure, both access doors to the property are via the same side gates, and on a few occasions the gate was left open by the postal deliveries. This would give your dogs and children access to the road, although the road is very quiet. As we found it easier to use the conservatory as our main access to the property we had to make sure we checked each time. We were also unable to get the central heating to work. There may of been something I was doing wrong, but as it was our last evening didn’t bother us much. Having the restrictions with COVID-19 meant we weren’t met on arrival which would of normally taken you through how things worked. That said, we are booked to stay again next year and would recommend the property to one and all. A big thanks to Island Holiday homes who were very helpful when we contacted them every-time. ##### Simon B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hamilton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hamilton.h1889137.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonkle House](https://www.expedia.ca/Wishaw-Hotels-Bonkle-House.h15996183.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature London Gatwick Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Crawley-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-London-Gatwick-Hotel.h6579.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harlow Hotel By AccorHotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Harlow-Hotels-The-Harlow-Hotel-By-AccorHotels.h950.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibstock-Hotels-Pinewood-Lodge.h17183221.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Woodbridge-Hotels-The-Crown-Hotel.h520172.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Peterborough.h2254377.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Luxury Escapes](https://www.expedia.ca/Diss-Hotels-Unique-Luxury-Escapes.h29745570.Hotel-Information) > > [Windermere Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Windermere-Manor-Hotel.h22280374.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Travelodge-Gatwick-Airport-Central.h10160516.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Northampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Northampton-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Northampton-Town-Centre.h12543.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Milton Keynes](https://www.expedia.ca/Milton-Keynes-Hotels-Novotel-Milton-Keynes.h892420.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Country Cottage private Indoor Swimming Pool ,Hot Tub, & Games room.](https://www.expedia.ca/Swindon-Hotels-Beautiful-Country-Cottage-Private-Indoor-Swimming-Pool.h34047025.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Peterborough by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Peterborough.h281577.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Peterborough.h2928593.Hotel-Information) > > [Heated indoor pool & spa, countryside holiday cottage near the beach & park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Heated-Indoor-Pool-Spa.h18971402.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Lumley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chester-Le-Street-Hotels-Lumley-Castle-Hotel.h175571.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson BLU Hotel Durham](https://www.expedia.ca/Durham-Hotels-Radisson-BLU-Hotel-Durham.h2226171.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information)
