Estuary Cottage
'We stayed at the cottage during the week leading up to Easter and absolutely loved our time here. The surrounding landscape along the Yar estuary is so peaceful and full of wildlife, it made having a morning coffee beside the water, listening to all manner of birdsong, our favourite moment of the day. The Kings Manor grounds are gorgeous and we very much appreciated being able to play some tennis on the court by the main house. A welcome basket with goodies, friendly communication and a very uncomplicated check in/out, as well and all the wonderful places to visit on the island made this holiday truly a special experience for us. We would return in a heartbeat.' (Frank Easter 25)
If you want to see the tide rise while sitting drinking coffee, if you want to really hear birds sing, if you want to see the stars in a dark sky this is the place for you. Magical rural location on a farm that is also close to great coffee shops and a lovely pub. We thought we got a really good Isle of Wight experience as nowhere was more than 30 mins away and we got to enjoy local facilities and restaurants as well as great walks. Oh there is a swan nesting nearby and a lovely little pony in the paddock outside! (Matthew, April 23)
Absolutely wonderful property. Immaculate condition and everything we needed was there. We all agreed we would visit again. Susie was super communicative also. (March 24)
