This was our first trip to the Isle of Wight and was for my partner's birthday (*please also note we are a same-sex couple and had a wonderful experience, so don't worry about what the other same-sex couple seemed to be implying in their review!) so we were looking for something a little bit special, which we certainly found at Koala Cottage. Shona was delightful to deal with, both beforehand over the phone and when we arrived, and she made us feel very welcome.
We had the Sapphire Suite, and it was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. I'm particularly fussy about bathrooms and so I'm pleased to say that I LOVED our bathroom here - clawfoot tub and separate rainfall shower, lovely mosiac tiling, and spotlessly clean.
The location is great, in a lovely little village and was great for driving around the island (we had a car so I can't comment on public transport other than to say I did notice quite a few bus stops).
I cannot recommend highly enough!
