This was our 2nd visit to this property as itâs a beautiful place to stay and great for kids with the big garden. It was a great place to stay and chill after a day of fun activities on the Island.
Visited for a long weekend with family and had a great time. The kids loved the garden and the location was convenient yet secluded. The host was very helpful and provided clear instructions for everything. Highly recommended and would stay here again.
Beautiful place to stay with great living area terrace and a huge garden. Walking distance from Freshwater, Needles, Alum Bay and Totland Bay.
Great place to stay and thank you Lucy for the great communication.
Great house for our inter-generational family lots of options for sleeping arrangements. A beautiful quiet garden sheltered by alarge variety of trees. Short 10 minute walk to beach, pub and local shops.
We had a fabulous time in the the topsy turvy house.
The location is great, about 8 mins walk to the beach.
The garden is fabulous and upstairs there is plenty of room with the upstairs conservatory where we spent most nights.
It must have been goodâŠ.we have booked again from or next year.
Lovely, comfortable property. Beautifully located for walks and the coast. Thank you for making us feel so welcome. The Christmas tree was a lovely touch.
A very comfortable and well equipped house, very suitable for family groups. The garden is delightful and provides plenty of entertainment for children. We all had a very good holiday
We had a very enjoyable holiday. The house had everything that we needed, was very comfortable and suited all ages.It is a short walk to the beach, when we could persuade the children to leave the garden, perfect for games of hide and seek.
We enjoyed a last minute mini break after the weather ruined our camping plans! The house is very large with space for everyone to be together and apart all at the same time!
Close access to beaches and the needles, shame about the weather though!
We barely saw the children as the toddler created her faux meals in the kitchen in the play house, whilst the tweens swung around like King Louis from breakfast til dark on the swing!
I enjoyed the natural silence in the garden and spent hours slowly walking with a glass of wine, seeing all of the wildlife the Isle has to offer! Mr Fox was trotting about, beautiful robins and so many birds including a woodpecker! I saw a hare in the neighbourâs garden, and my highlight were the family of red squirrels who danced around the Cobb nut trees! They were so beautiful and came very close! A nature lovers dream!
We would happily stay again, in fact the children cried when we left, lol!
We were thrilled with our recent stay at the Topsy Turvy house. Plenty of space for our group of 5 adults and 3 children. Rooms were nicely decorated with a relaxed and homely feel. The outdoor space was fantastic with den, ball swing and trampoline and a backdrop of beautiful shrubs and trees. We also made use of the balcony, perfect for a morning coffee or evening meal. The house was well appointed with everything we needed at hand. We liked the open plan living space with the dining, kitchen and lounge areas all interlinked. A really unique house! Location is secluded and quiet but do note that access to nearby Totland Bay by foot was rather steep and too difficult for older and younger members of our group though we could easily access the bay by car, just a 2 minute drive. We enjoyed visits to Osborne House, Carisbrooke castle, Godshill model village, Ryde and The Needles and also made trips to nearby Freshwater Bay, Colwell Bay and Compton Bay. Great communication from owner throughout, would highly recommend!
Lovely house - very open and easy to live in with plenty of character and light. Lucy was a great host - she looked after us very well. Would definitely recommend for a visit to the IoW
Spacious house with great vibe and the most beautiful garden
Five adults (family members) and two dogs stayed at this charming house in August and it was soooo lovely. The upstairs (loinge/kitchen/conservatory) is particularly appealing because it's flooded with light and spacious enough to be able to spread out in different areas.
Needless to say, we loved spotting red squirrels in all those wonderful trees, including a fruiting walnut tree. The dogs enjoyed sniffing for rabbits and chasing a ball.
So peaceful and the air felt clean and fresh.
Great location too, it suited our purposes perfectly and one of our party walked 20 miles on the coast path one day, catching the bus back.
Just a mention for anyone bringing dogs, the garden isn't dog-proof so you'll need to supervise your best friend. Ours were fine, but we didn't leave them alone outdoors.
Thank you, we loved our short break!
We had a fantastic week in Lucyâs house - the property is exactly as advertised if not better - well equipped and lots of space inside and out for adults and kids to entertain themselves and get into the holiday vibe. We loved the local Totland beach and especially walks over Headon Warren towards the Needles.
Lucy has been so helpful and responsive and we felt very welcome in a beautiful part of the island.
Thanks for a great stay!
Wonderful upstairs, location and garden. Note 1.5 bathrooms
We had a delightful holiday, a 5 minute walk to beach, basking in sun upstairs and playing in garden.
There us one family bathroom and a very small ensure that is difficult for an adult to shower.
We would definitely holiday here again.
We had a lovely week ( family of 2 adults + 2 teenagers + grandma) in this property. Beds were comfortable and bedding was good quality. Plenty of equipment in the kitchen and wifi was good upstairs, less so downstairs in bedrooms.
Lovely garden, well looked after. Living space would have been a bit tight for 10 people, unless split into different areas. Not so suitable for less able grandma - access to the house from the driveway was very tricky with uneven steps and no toilet in the upstairs living area so she needed to go up and down stairs more than was really comfortable for her. But for a family with teenagers was a lovely space and we all loved the IOW.
The most wonderful house, perfectly located and had EVERYTHING we needed. Lucy was extremely helpful and accommodating. We loved everything about the house and Isle of Wight . X
Kitchen very well stocked and plenty of room for the 10 of us, although we did bring a settee from the conservatory into the living room for our stay. The children loved the garden, especially the wrecking ball. A feather duster wouldn't go amiss!
