The cottage is beautiful and the bedrooms are much larger than th We had the nicest time at Bowden!! The cottage is beautiful and the bedrooms are much larger than they look on the website. Due to the time of year we couldn’t get out on the grounds much but they did look stunning - but we did get to see a few famous red squirrels at our door. We were hoping we would be able to walk to a pub in the evening but due to the time of year and unlit road it did not seem like a good idea but that did not impede on our good time!! In the cottage they had thought of everything down to an extra pint of milk and oil so we could cook our breakfast in the morning! We were greeted we the warmest of welcomes and even got a little goodbye present for the children! Will look into staying here again - and when restrictions lift will look into staying in a larger group in the cottage next door!! 100% recommended!

We lived staying at Bodwen Corner Cottage. Surrounded on 3 sides by water, yet only 10 mins from the ferry, it was a great and incredibly quiet location. Warm and friendly, Peter and his daughter Clare have set up the perfect cottage, really an annex to the big house, situated in a large front garden where we watched the busy red squirrels searching for their nuts and enjoying the peace. The cottage had everything we wanted from comfortable beds, clean and well equipped kitchen with a dining table, a separate lounge with enough room for us all to laze about and lots of ideas for places to visit and walks to enjoy in their information booklet. Our family of 5 adults had a great week, exploring the Isle of Wight and relaxing.

We had a wonderful stay at Bodwen. The cottage is clean and modern with everything you need. When we did have any minor issue, Peter sorted it out in a second. He even put away my Tesco order before I arrived! The grounds are beautiful and the views of the Solent are amazing. Also a 5 min drive from Fishbourne and 10 minutesfrom Ryde.
