Koala Cottage

We have just come back from a wonderful two night stay at Koala Cottage. The location is within a really pretty village which has a small selection of places to eat all within walking distance. Our room was a very good size, and the bed was really comfortable. We had the best two nights sleep we’ve had for a long time. Our hosts were amazing, we think they had thought of just about everything we could need, and the breakfast they cooked for us was really good. Certainly set us up for the day. We had a car so this was a good base to get around the island, but there were bus stops nearby that went to many places, so if you had no car, this would not be a problem for getting around. We would certainly recommend and are looking forward to our next visit to stay here.

Impossible to give this anything other than 5 star. Superb accommodation in an immaculately presented room with as much tasty breakfast as you could ever want. Shona and Amanda were excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble. If we could give 6 stars we would; thank you!

Very friendly welkome by Amanda and Shona. The room and bathroom were very clean, large and equiped with airco. Breakfast is freshly cooked and everything is possible. The owners gave substraat tips for restaurants and hotspots at the Island. We have had a great stay.

Koala cottage is one of the best b&b',s We have ever visited ,the accommodation Was delightful,clean ,tasteful,breakfast very good,good hospitality tray. spacious. Every need provided for. Our hosts Shona and Amanda were welcoming warm and friendly The village of Godshill is nice,interesting Model village.

If you’re looking for a lovely stay in a small quintessential English Village (complete with thatched cottages nearby) on the Isle of Wight, then you’ve found the right place! We arrived in Southampton from a cruise and took a 30 minute catamaran trip over to the island. The cottage is located about 25 minutes from the port. Shona and Amanda make you feel like family and the three very spacious, well designed rooms allow you space, comfort, and many extra amenities that a standard bed and breakfast forget. The rooms are spotless, breakfasts delicious and the tiki bar in the back (weather permitting) is an extra touch. The pictures on their website are real photos and not altered. Godshill is a small village connected to towns via bus or taxi (need to arrange in advance), but has a few quality restaurants and pubs within walking distance, a cafe and bakery, some shops, a model village, thatched cottages and the ‘church on the hill’…and the donuts! You’ll have to ask about them! Thank you Shona and Amanda for an enjoyable and memorable visit!

We had the best weekend at Koala Cottage! The room was amazing and we really enjoyed the quirky touch of having a record player in the room. We're actually planning on buying one ourselves now. Shona and Amanda were such wonderful hosts and made the most delicious breakfasts, thank you :) We can't recommend this place enough!

Wonderful stay. Both hosts were very friendly, knowledgeable and pulled out all the stops to make us comfortable. Lovely room… patio doors onto a pretty seating area and huge bathroom. Air con was a welcome surprise as was the decanter of sherry. Epic breakfast each morning. Godshill is beautiful. Would return x

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.
