Woodside Cottage - a house that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

A charming detached home in a rural setting in Sandford near Godshill, providing spacious and comfortable accommodation. Shanklin and Ventnor are within easy reach for a family day on the beach and Woodside is near several footpaths for those who enjoy the countryside.

The large enclosed garden with lawn, shrubs and trees is a tranquil escape after a busy day. There is a patio area with garden furniture and BBQ. To the front of the property is ample off street parking for 2-3 cars.

The ground floor accommodation comprises double bedroom with cot, twin bedroom and family bathroom with shower over bath. The cosy lounge, dining room and conservatory all look over the garden and the well equipped kitchen has French doors leading onto the garden. There is a utility room and also a separate cloakroom WC.

The master suite on the first floor comprises double bedroom with en-suite wetroom shower and WC. Guests will enjoy lovely views from this peaceful retreat.

The popular village of Godshill is very close by and has charming thatched roofed cottages and winding main street with a variety of tea rooms, gift shops offering local craft and produce, model village and public house. Sandford is centrally situated between Newport and Shanklin and also within easy reach of Ventnor, making an ideal base to explore the surrounding Island.

For families the popular resort of Shanklin is a short drive away and provides a variety of shops, supermarket, banks and eating places. To the south of the High Street lies the picturesque thatched Old Village with its pubs, tearooms and gift shops. Near to the Old Village is Shanklin Chine, a natural wooded gorge, and Rylstone Gardens, a relaxing park with crazy golf and tea gardens in a flower filled setting.

The long safe sandy beach is on a lower level. One can walk, use the lift or drive down from town to seafront. Coastal paths make for scenic walking to neighbouring Sandown or to the pretty village of Bonchurch through the winding paths of the landslip, in the other direction.

The Island has many other attractions for families with a variety of beaches, cycleways and footpaths, leisure centres and golf courses. Entertainment and eating places are varied.

As always Woodside was wonderful. Home from home and we are always happy to return. Everything you need for a comfortable stay whatever the weather and all very well maintained. Very well located for visiting all parts of the island with the excellent bus service.

Everything as always in perfect order and lovingly maintained. Not so much staying in a holiday cottage as staying in a family home. Ideally placed for visiting all parts of the island and best part is returning to enjoy the cottage and garden. Thank you for another excellent stay.

Everything provided, very clean and cosy, wonderful location. Housekeepers were lovely. Looking forward to our next stay. Lovely family of rabbits at the bottom of the garden. Because the weather was quite cool the conservatory was really warm and welcoming. This is a lovely home.

Our 7th visit and another excellent stay at this amazing property. Good bus links at the end of the road to all parts of the island. Lots of walking from the door. The cottage as always was very well presented and equipped with everything needed. Even with inclement weather a nice relaxing break in a home from home cottage. Look forward to returning.

Our sixth visit to Woodside and as always everything well equipped and beautifully maintained.Spotlessly cleaned and prepared by Lisa. The cottage is in a very good position with bus links to all parts of the island 2 minutes walk away. There is everything you need to make this a perfect home from home. Thank you to Bob and Carol for sharing your beautiful home. Thanks also to Island Holidays for all their help in arranging the bookings. Will be back soon.

Beautiful cottage and garden, we could relax. The children liked the garden toys, and our youngest loved the tree house. It had everything we needed and more. Also had lots of space. It was close to lots of attractions, all within 10 to 20 mins!

We have been going to Woodside cottage for the past 5 years, and we love it there, it has everything you need. You dont have any worries when staying here you can get to everywhere you need to go daily perfect cottage in the perfect location. Unfortunately we have a couple of pups now, and due to a very bad experience with one of the kennels on the island we wont be able to come again unless we find a top class kennel to look after them. Our Inlaws will be back though you can count on them !!

Property was extremely well presented and clean, felt very homely in every respect. Kitchen was well appointed with plenty of pots, pans and utensils. Large garden was especially nice for our two young boys (although we spent most days exploring the island). Only slight negatives, one sofa was extremely uncomfortable (sofa bed) and the location is approx. 1 mile outside of Godshill with no pathway on the main road to the village so had to use the car always. Overall a fantastic place to stay, great value and would return again in the future.

This was our third visit to Woodside cottage and it did not disappoint. The cottage is spacious, comfortable and clean and the garden is a lovely place to spend time when returning from a day out, it has lots of added extras to keep the children amused. This property is very well situated for reaching everywhere on the island easily. Would highly recommend it and will return if we can, next time we visit the Isle of Wight.

When we saw this property whilst looking through the website it was ideal for what we needed and it looked lovely, on arriving at the property it was even better in the flesh just superb. The cottage is in a lovely position very quiet, there's a pretty village just down the road 5 mins by car with some lovely coffee shops ,pub etc. The bedroom upstairs was just fabulous very nice and loved the bathroom too. We found Woodside Cottage very spacious, very comfortable and with all the amenities you have here including the lovely garden which the grandchildren loved its all you need for a wonderful and delightful stay.

We have just returned from a superb stay at Woodside cottage. We absolutely loved the property - the photos don't give the space you have justice. The property was immaculately clean (important at the moment) and well equipped and it is on a nice quiet country road with easy access to the centre of Godshill, but also Shanklin, Ventnor and everywhere else on the island. The agency and the owner could not have been more accommodating to our needs with small children. The beds are comfortable, the sofas are too. The garden has a wonderful treehouse, as well as a badminton set, a table tennis table, and lots of garden furniture. We have stayed in 3 properties on the Isle of Wight over the past 4 years and this was by far our favourite. We will definitely be returning.

8/10

Very good holiday property with large garden. Good outside seating. Rather a narrow approach road and nasty turn out right, at the end. Good position on the Island for reaching other areas. Nicely appointed rooms with comfortable seating. All in all a very enjoyable experience.

This is the second time we have stayed at Woodside cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property has everything you could need and even though some things had been removed due to the pandemic it didn't spoil our stay. The conservatory was a great hit, we loved sitting in there with the doors open looking out onto the lovely garden, which we spent lots of time enjoying with our grandson. He especially loved the tree house. This cottage is situated in a great location for exploring the island. If ever we come back to the IOW we will definitely book again. Thank you.
