Beautiful converted 17th century stone stable in the heart of the Isle of Wight

5 miles from beautiful Yarmouth harbour, 6 miles from central Newport and 9 miles from the renowned yachting hub of Cowes, Stable Cottage is located off the main road in rolling farmland, with distant sea views.

Set in the grounds of Elm Place, Stable Cottage offers double and twin bedrooms, both ensuite, an open plan lounge and kitchen/ diner. Finished to a high standard, whilst retaining a warm, homely feel, the cottage is the perfect get away for up to 4 people.

Lovely stay in a fabulous location and comfortable, spacious cottage
We returned to the cottage after our first stay last year because it was so lovely and comfortable. This time we also used the cottage next door for our grandchildren, who absolutely loved it. The cottage itself is in a great rural location but nevertheless only 10 mins drive from a supermarket and Freshwater Bay if you need a takeaway or food. It's also just a quarter of a mile from a bus-stop to Newport in one direction and Yarmouth in the other (if you don't have a car) so therefore ideal either as a personal retreat or alternatively, a central location to travel to other Isle of Wight attractions. We had a wonderful stay and once again as per last year, were greeted by a wonderful host - thank you! I look forward to staying at the cottage again next year.

Ideal location
Great location for covering the island particularly West Wight that we live. Property was great - had everything you could need. Only negative was the metal framed single beds,creaked a lot and the mattresses were uncomfortable. Doesn’t detract from a great break though.

A short stay to visit family on the island. A lovely calm place to stay. Would have given 5 stars but attention required to a few minor details within the rental and listing needs to be clearer that there is no washing machine in the property itself.

Lovely cottage
What a lovely cottage, the pictures don’t do it justice, in the middle of the country side but close enough to everything you could need. It is managed by Sally who welcomes her guests with genuine friendliness. Her dogs pop in and out which just adds to the home from home feel. I would definitely return here.

Beautiful stable cottage
Sally met us at the property on the day we arrived. She was v friendly and helpful. The property was clean and v welcoming. Sally couldn’t be more helpful. Lovely property to take dogs. We had 3 and there was a big field to walk them in behind the property. It was our honeymoon and they gave us a bottle champagne! Will definitely go back. It was as in a beautiful area with 2 pubs nearby. We recommend the Blacksmiths pub for food. Overall first class.
