Koala Cottage

Thank you Shona and Amanda for being such excellent hosts and providing us with such superb accommodation the personal touch was obvious. The pictures in the brochure are spot on. Of course my favourite being the decanter of Sherry! We hope to visit again in the future. As a small family group we made use of all three suites which was perfect.

My husband and I had such a delightful stay at Koala Cottage. Very clean, fresh and such a comfortable bed, slept very well. Great to have our own front door and situated in quaint Godshill . Breakfasts kept us going all day! Thankyou! Shona and Amanda were perfect hosts with a wealth of island knowledge. Will definitely return!

What a wonderful break we had at koala cottage whilst on a long weekend on the Isle of Wight. The room itself was beautifully decorated and had every thing you would need to have a comfortable stay. The bed and sofa were lovely and comfortable, and the bathroom was exquisite with a very unusually decorated toilet! The hosts were excellent. They were friendly and informative without being intrusive and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The breakfast was of a very high quality with plenty of choice. Although not used, the addition of an EV charger is an excellent idea and a reassurance for those in an electric vehicle if you needed to charge. The cottage is ideally located in Godshill within a short walk to a couple of pubs and the charming village. The rooms have excellent Internet, which is nice when you are planning your days around the island. Overall, this is a delightful place with wonderful hosts and a very comfortable and spacious room. Would definitely like to come back in the summer months and enjoy the hospitality again.

I don't know what I liked better, the beautiful room or the wonderful hosts. This place is gorgeous, we stayed in the sapphire suite. The room is spotlessly clean with beautiful wooden furniture and a huge comfy bed. There is also a sofa and the TV is hidden away in a large wall unit which also houses a very generous wardrobe and a mini fridge with complimentary bottles of water, and fresh milk. There is a large bathroom complete with a roll top bath , walk in shower and a very ornate sink with boiling hot water and there is no water pressure issues either. You also get to use some fluffy bathrobes. A lovely touch was that there is a record player in the room along with an eclectic mix of vinyl's. Outside you have your own parking space and enter through the side gate which takes you to the rooms with their own garden entrance, each with a small table and chairs outside for a drink in the sun. In the morning you take a very short walk to the breakfast room where you get to meet the hosts Shona and Amanda who will make you the best breakfast you have ever had whilst chatting to you like you have known each other for ages. What lovely ladies they are, very friendly and knowledgeable about anything you need to know and if they can help they will. They really make this a wonderful place to stay. I already miss our little breakfast club 😂 I have been going to the Isle of Wight for many, many years and stayed in a mixture of places but the Koala Cottage is by far the best, so glad we found this little gem and cannot wait to return.

If you don’t normally consider a BnB, you need to think again. Forget your 5* corporate hotels on the mainland and head to Koala Cottage. Shona and Amanda are two smart cookies who understand exactly what makes a break special. All the details have been covered in one way or another in other reviews, so I’ll just say that we had a really wonderful stay here and will definitely be back.

Best mini break ever…the only thing that would have made it better would have been an extra couple of nights! The rooms are gorgeous, spotlessly clean, lovely extras you don’t expect like a record player and a decanter of very delicious sherry. Such a comfy bed, and great selection of teas and filter coffee. Breakfast is outstanding, definitely set us up for the day and most importantly no koalas were harmed in the making of the omelette! Shona and Amanda could not be better hosts - warm, friendly, chatty with lots of good tips and advice for where to visit during your stay. Can not recommend highly enough, and cannot wait to come back for a cocktail at the tiki bar!

Situated in beautiful village with couple of pubs cafes etc fantastic accommodation and everything taken care of. Amazing breakfast

What a find! Superb luxury accommodation all the nice touches from complimentary sherry to selection of vinyl & record player. Excellent home cooked breakfast. Situated in beautiful little village with good pubs & shops Owned & run by 2 lovely ladies. Cannot recommend highly enough

My partner has limited mobility, so we wanted a quality B&B that provided easy access, no steps and a walk-in shower. Koala Cottage met our requirements very well. We stayed for 3 nights in the Ruby Suite - one of three suites which are basically an extension of the owners' own home. Shona and Amanda were excellent hosts, and provided a superb breakfast each morning, as well as good recommendations for places to eat in the evening. Highly recommended.
