Very helpfull owners just what customers require,plenty of room to relaxes and enjoy holiday.very central location ,could visit places all around isle easily
A relaxing, peaceful holiday was what I had hoped for and Whitestones delivered. Set in a beautiful and quiet part of the island, everything was perfect for us and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Lovely bungalow very comfortable and homely. Hosts couldn't have been more helpful went that extra mile to make sure we had an enjoyable stay. Really nice welcome pack left for us to use. All IOW produce. Would definitely recommend.
We have returned to Whitestones again, and and it has been great. Ann and Jim gave us a lovely welcome, and had even remembered my birthday from last year! The accommodation is well equipped and feels like home. It is so peaceful sitting on the balcony for breakfast (or any other meal) and cosy in the lounge of an evening. The weather helped of course, but even when there was a bit of a wind the conservatory is great. So many options. We were sad to leave. The location is ideal for us, very quiet but within easy reach of places we wanted to get to. We visited the Bristone Village Store again and found lovely local produce plus the staples we needed. One of our favourite things is that we can find a number of places along the southern cliffs to have a picnic supper and watch the sunset, all only a few minutes drive away. Although it is also possible to watch the sunset from the upstairs bedroom - lovely!
We plan to return again.
We had another lovely stay at Whitestones, in this peaceful and well equipped cottage. Ann and Jeff are very welcoming and helpful. It was lovely to eat outside on the balcony overlooking the secluded garden and listen to the birds. We discovered an excellent mobile Fish & Chip van (The Jolly Fryer) that visits locally. We ate ours sitting in one of the car parks on the cliffs (off the Military Road) watching the sunset.
The cottage is set in lovely peaceful countryside but also within easy access (by car) of the many island attractions.
If you are looking for a quiet base in west Wight this could be a great option. The bungalow is located down a vey quiet country lane and is spacious inside, easily catering for our family of five. It's actually larger than the photos suggest. We were warmly greeted by the owner, Anne who is extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the area. I can recommend star gazing on the patio when the skies are clear and walking over the downs from Whitestones. Freshwater and Yarmouth are just a short drive with a range of great pubs and restaurants. I can recommend the Red Lion , Freshwater for Sunday roasts, The Hut , Colwell for all things sea food, The Bay in Totland for small plates, The Blacksmiths, Calbourne at sunset for great gastro like food and La Cucina , Yarmouth for great Mediterranean inspired dishes. Brook and Compton beaches are very short drive and great for kayaking, paddle boarding, body boarding and surfing depending on the wind and tide.
A lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings You need a car as it is a bit scarce on food shopping but never the less a lovely place which I would highly recommend The oweners were particularly helpful
The owners made us feel very welcome.
We were impressed that there was a smart TV (often rentals have an old, small TV).
Lovely garden and secluded location. Perfect for us as visiting family in neighbouring village.
Will definitely be returning.
This is a lovely cottage down a quiet lane. Very comfortable and well equipped. There is a secluded garden with a raised patio, ideal for outdoor eating. The owner was very welcoming and helpful. We had not stayed in this part of the island before but hope to return.
quiet and relaxing, home from home atmosphere, very friendly hosts, ideal location for rural walking, handy village shop with all your needs for your stay, stunning views everywhere you go on the island, enjoyed it very much.
Great bungalow in a quiet location but not too far from all amenities. Lovely owners. V accommodating. Friendly and helpful. On hand if needed but not obtrusive.
We would thoroughly recommend this cottage.
Lovely cottage very spacious plenty of room so not under each others feet. Very pleasant relaxing garden, easy access to the island. Anne was a very friendly, warm host who made our welcome and stay very pleasant.
Excellent location to visit places of interest on the island. Nice, comfortable cottage with all facilities and all needs provided for. We were promptly and happily helped by the owner of the property who lives next door and is always available. The only change required is that of beds and mattresses which are old and not so comfortable. We would happily recommend it for a week's stay and holidays on the Isle of Wight.
