Beautiful cottage and well presented in a remote and quiet location. There needs to be a recycling point for bottles, paper/card and cans etc. If they were there, we couldn't find them. Also, the Wifi doesn't work. I'm not bothered but some may be.

Thanks so much for letting us know, we've asked the housekeeper to check the wifi during the changeover. Tanya, Customer Support


Lovely cottage for me and my family to stay in, will definitely use again


We booked three of the cottages on this site for our 50th wedding anniversary celebration with the family. The cottages were clean comfortable and well equipped and suited our purposes very well. The staff moved the garden furniture to enable us to enjoy our time in the evenings together. There was plenty of space, both private and shared, to enjoy games together. There is a small green where you can play cricket or rounders. The situation is very quiet, surrounded by farmland, but it only takes 15 to 20 minutes to the nearest attractions and the seaside. The Classic Cottages staff in the Isle of Wight office were very helpful.


We enjoyed out stay very much. Lots to do within 30 minutes drive. The barn was spacious, comfortable and well equipped and was in a quiet location.


We booked all the barns for a special family holiday. Wonderful setting, so peaceful. The Stables was great. Good standard. Fantastic holiday?? Definitely recommend it.

We had a wonderful holiday with the extended family as we were able to book 3 of the properties. The Stables was spacious for our family of 4. Plenty of outside space for the children to enjoy and a perfect central location to visit anywhere on the Island. We would love to come back!


The post code given is deceiving as it takes you to Kingston Manor, we had to turn around and find the unmade road (which isn't sign posted) to take us to Kingston Barns. A more clearer sign on both sides of the entrance to the road would be helpful. Otherwise we had a very enjoyable week at The Stables.


The property was excellent and very well positioned. It was a perfect spot and dog friendly. I would definitely recommend the property.

Thank you so much for your recommendation. We're delighted this was a perfect spot for you and dog friendly especially with its own enclosed lawn area which is great for dogs. We would love to welcome you back again in the future. Kelsey, Customer Support


We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.


We found The Stables well equipped and comfortable, ideally situated for walking and cycling in a lovely part of the island.


The Stables is set in an idyllic part of the island with easy access to Ventnor, and all the main attractions further afield. The access track is a bit rough, but once into the enclosure where the cottages are located everything is of an excellent standard. The bathroom had some minor issues, but otherwise it's a beautiful cottage. With the sheep and pheasants as the only close neighbours the setting is peaceful, and relaxing. We would definately come back in future!


The Stables was an absolutely a lovely place to stay and would recommend as it had a lovely little garden which was private and the sheep greeting us everyday was lovely. The Stables had almost everything we required. Lovely touch by the cake for us to enjoy.


Recommend especially if you want a more walking holiday.


Lovely barn, light and airy, peaceful location. Brilliant enclosed garden perfect for our little dog.


A very enjoyable stay and would return.Very rural but with easy access to the coast.


My mum and dad stayed in the stables and my family stayed in the pigsty. Which worked out really well because they were next door to each other. Walked in the door and greeted with cake. Lovely touch. Lovely open space in the living room and kitchen (stables slightly bigger space than pigsty). Great for socialising. They provided towels, linen, cleaning sprays, washing up liquid etc. So didn't have to worry about any if that. They had a washing machine and dish washer. The stables had a back garden which was secure for our dog and toddler. Had everything we needed for a self accommodation. My mum was really impressed with facilities and items provided. She didn't have to pack the whole kitchen sink on this occasion. If you had a lot of family staying, you could hire out all four barns. That's would be amazing. Trying somewhere different next year with Classic Cottages but will definitely be back in the future. I know its a two bedroom but not quite big enough for us all to stay in one with a toddler. Can be done but I like me space.


A quiet and clean rural retreat, very well kept. We had a lovely stay and would visit again! Great walks in the area. The cottage and outside area were more spacious than we expected based on the photos.
