The property is in a perfect location. Short walk to beach, Old Village, transport. The place is spotlessly clean. There are extra toiletries in the rooms, ex. face cleansing pads. complimentary water on first night. Small fridge in room. Breakfast was good. I would recommend it. ##### Angela Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### John 14 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I had a poor welcome. Fortunately, I decided to stay and see how it worked out. The room was very comfortable and had lots of extras like a small fridge and a good selection of powdered drinks. The shower and toilet and hand basin were high quality with plenty of gels/soaps etc. Towels were high quality. The TV was good, plenty of cupboard and drawer spaces. However, it was impossible to receive emails and Internet. The East Esplanade was two minutes away and access to the Chine and beaches very easy. The bus station was close and access to shops good. I was there for 4 nights and had a very enjoyable time. I thought the separate price for breakfast of £10 was excessive and felt the advertised price should make clear that it was for accommodation only. It's B and not B&B. ##### John Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### alan 2 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Situated midway between the beach and town centre, Swiss Cottage gave me a very comfortable stay, and a daily freshly cooked to order breakfast, all provided by the friendly hosts Christine and Keith ##### alan Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 17 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great place host are fantastic ##### Robert Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 22 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 2nd visit just a very good place to stay can't fault this facility very well looked after ##### John Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trevor 15 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very well looked after, very clean and friendly and an excellent breakfast 😃😃 ##### Trevor Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andy 31 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good little hotel, thanks ##### Andy Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth 7 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A great, friendly stay Great hosts, nice rooms, grand breakfasts.

We left with warm feelings for our stay on Isle of Wight ##### Judith R Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Constance 20 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Swiss Cottage is a good quality, very clean well run Guest House/B&B. It is located close to public transport links and is within walking distance of the old town and esplanade/beach area. Keith and Christine have taken care to add little touches in the guest rooms like a bottle of water on arrival and a good selection of toiletries in case you had forgotten something. Our bed was very comfortable. We had everything we needed in our room and en-suite. The freshly cooked breakfast set you up for the day. We enjoyed a chat with Keith each morning at breakfast and if we wanted any help or information, all we had to do was ask. We would happily stay there again. Connie and John ##### Constance Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### N 13 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Good value , all the basics , needs an update Overall ticks all the boxes . In some need of updating , decor , furniture . Mattress too soft for me , a topper or new one would be ideal. Parking was fine. An altercation with the owner and a guest at 1.30 am on my second night didn’t help my sleep . Whilst my room was next door to the entrance , and in all probability not the fault of the owner , regardless , there are other guests in the accommodation to consider. Overall decent for the price . ##### N Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 19 Sept 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Never Again. Bar was not open and was told we were not allowed to take a drink into our room. The bed was awful...too low and felt every spring. Did not sleep at all well. Water far too hot in the bathroom and not showing any warnings of scolding water. Shower over the bath was on a mixer pump which either scolded you or froze you before a comfortable temperature was obtained. The shower screen was fixed to the bath making it very difficult to get in and out of the bath. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane 7 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Incredible stay. Wow, what an amazing, homely hotel. It felt like walking into a home with so many extra little touches that makes it so special. Keith and Christine and just so welcoming and will do anything to help. The room itself was exceptionally clean and tidy and plenty of room. The breakfast included each morning was ample and the selection available was very inclusive. Furthermore, they also both had amazing understanding of someone with 30+ allergies, and did everything to make it as inclusive as possible. As hosts both Christine and Keith were very welcoming and chatty, and were always helpful on where to eat out, or places to visit. But, they were also so lovely just to chat to, they are both such wonderful people and incredible hosts. When i return to the Isle of Wight, I most certainly be staying there again. I cant wait to return. ##### Diane Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian 10 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A most peaceful time All good, not sure how it could be much better ##### Ian Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James 1 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay for a business / sightseeing trip! Really enjoyed staying here - really good rooms. Need to contact the hotel ASAP if you are arriving after 7pm though to arrange a late checkin fee. ##### James Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue 30 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mini break Visiting friends so very convenient hotel ##### Sue Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [voco Lythe Hill Hotel & Spa by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haslemere-Hotels-Voco-Lythe-Hill-Hotel-Spa.h517258.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Canterbury.h66541221.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Rose Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Appleby-In-Westmorland-Hotels-Wild-Rose-Caravan-Park.h24459296.Hotel-Information) > > [Lock Keeper, Worksop by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Lock-Keeper.h27479298.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stables Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Stables-Whitby.h23322490.Hotel-Information) > > [Samsara Retreat and Yoga - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-Samsara-Retreat-And-Yoga.h41349775.Hotel-Information) > > [Cromer Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromer-Hotels-Cromer-Country-Club.h1927781.Hotel-Information) > > [The Skipton Hotel - Formerly Hotel Rendezvous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skipton-Hotels-Hotel-Rendezvous.h41466.Hotel-Information) > > [Bear Lodge - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Bear-Lodge-Aspinall-Foundation.h40101484.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Camping Pods - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Pinewood-Apinall-Foundation.h40101599.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sheffield-Hotels-The-Quays-Hotel-Sheffield.h46197620.Hotel-Information) > > [Skegness The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Skegness.h23931999.Hotel-Information) > > [Soar Mill Cove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Soar-Mill-Cove-Hotel.h2042032.Hotel-Information) > > [Seven Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Seven-Hotel.h19282555.Hotel-Information) > > [Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa - an Iconic Luxury Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Milton-Hotels-Chewton-Glen-Hotel-Spa.h528432.Hotel-Information) > > [Brock Cottage private Hot Tub DOG/Cat FRIENDLY\* with on site fishing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickering-Hotels-Spacious-Stone-Cottage-DOG-FRIENDLY.h36805890.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borehamwood-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Elstree.h18549.Hotel-Information) > > [Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Exeter-Rougemont-Hotel-By-Sunday.h7784.Hotel-Information) > > [Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burnley-Hotels-Crowwood-Hotel-Spa-Resort.h38222710.Hotel-Information) > > [The Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Hotels-The-Swan-Hotel.h26791.Hotel-Information) > > [The Aviator, formerly Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clacton-On-Sea-Hotels-Smugglers-Cove-By-Marstons-Inns.h35853904.Hotel-Information) > > [Yeoldon House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bideford-Hotels-Yeoldon-House.h2764122.Hotel-Information) > > [Crafted at Powdermills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Battle-Hotels-Powdermills-Country-House-Hotel.h195688.Hotel-Information) > > [Chimney House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandbach-Hotels-Chimney-House-Hotel.h527768.Hotel-Information) > > [Mermaid, Ipswich by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ipswich-Hotels-Mermaid.h31883430.Hotel-Information) > > [Donnington Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sevenoaks-Hotels-Donnington-Manor-Hotel.h865829.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Leicester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Voco-Leicester.h76596043.Hotel-Information) > > [Canterbury Bell, Margate by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broadstairs-Hotels-Canterbury-Bell.h33103125.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Thyme & Honey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Wild-Thyme-Honey.h9241983.Hotel-Information) ---
