Our hosts went above and beyond to be helpful and kept us well-informed. Our room was most comfortable. Breakfasts were served speedily and offered us choices eg it's been a long time since I had such excellent kippers. I loved the way our hosts would advise us of the flattest route to where we wanted to go! We left with warm feelings for our stay on Isle of Wight

Swiss Cottage is a good quality, very clean well run Guest House/B&B. It is located close to public transport links and is within walking distance of the old town and esplanade/beach area. Keith and Christine have taken care to add little touches in the guest rooms like a bottle of water on arrival and a good selection of toiletries in case you had forgotten something. Our bed was very comfortable. We had everything we needed in our room and en-suite. The freshly cooked breakfast set you up for the day. We enjoyed a chat with Keith each morning at breakfast and if we wanted any help or information, all we had to do was ask. We would happily stay there again. Connie and John
